HOBBIES – UNIT – 5
My Hobby – Anonymous
The sky is as blue as the heavens
The crowd was nowhere to be found
The birds are happy singing
Oh, what an enchanting sound!
No one knows why I do this
Why I sit hours carelessly away
This sketching is my hobby
This world of beauty is where I play
So now I lie here, drawing
Oh, what a beautiful scene!
This world is my cherished love
So peaceful, so serene.

Sing and enjoy
The teacher recites/sings. Listen, then open the book and recite/sing (in chorus).
There is a lovely nest,
a lovely lovely nest.
The nest is in the tree,
the tree is in the park.
Once I saw a little bird,
come hop, hop, hop.
I cried, “Little bird,
will you stop, stop, stop ?’’
I was going to the tree
to say, “How do you do?”
But he shook his little tail
and away he flew.

When he had no work, he used to go for a long walk. He loved to watch the beauty of nature. He was very curious about everything around him.
