Now, read the poem about a brave little boy.

I am not afraid of the tiger,

I am seven years of age.

I am not afraid of the tiger,
rumbles: makes a low heavy
rolling sound
When it rumbles and roars in a rage. roars: makes a long, loud,
deep sound
rage: very strong and
I am not afraid of the tiger uncontrolled anger
provided: only if something
happens
Provided it is in a CAGE!!!

—Harindranath Chattopadhyay
