In the country fields so green and wide,
Where the river flows with a gentle glide,
There lives an animal with feathers bright,
Who builds a nest with all its might.

It gathers grains from far and near,
To make a cozy home that's oh so dear,
A place to rest and raise its young,
Until they're strong and can fly among.

The nest is high up in a tree,
Where the animal can watch and see,
The world below, so grand and vast,
And all the beauty that will last.

So when you're walking in the fields,
Or by the river where nature yields,
Remember the animal and its nest,
And all the wonders that nature does best.

Reflections

1. What kind of animal is being described in this paragraph?
2. What does the animal use to build its nest?
3. Where is the nest located and why is that location important?
4. What can we learn from the animal and its nest about nature and the environment?
