How to Tell Wild Animals 

Thinking about the poem :

1. Does ‘dying’ really rhyme with ‘lion’? Can you say it in such a way that it does? 

Ans: In fact ‘dyin’ does not rhyme with ‘lion’. But some one may pronounce them in such a way that they rhyme. 

2. How does the poet suggest that you identify the lion and the tiger? When can you do so, according to him? 

Ans: The poet suggests how we can identify a lion and a tiger. A lion is a large beast that has brownish yellow colour and it roars. The tiger is an impressive animal with black stripes on its yellow skin. According to the poet we can do so when they eat us. 

3. Do you think the words ‘lep’ and ‘lep’ in the third stanza spelt correctly? Why does the poet spell them like this? 

Ans: No, these two words are not spelt correctly. The poet does so to maintain rhythm only. 

4. Do you know what a ‘bearhug’ is? It’s friendly and strong hug- such as bears are thought to give, as they attack you? Again, hyenas are thought to laugh, and crocodiles to weep (‘crocodile tears’)as they. swallow their victims. Are there similar expression and popular ideas about wild animals in your own languages? 

Ans: A  ‘bearhug’ is the bear’s tight embrace. Hyenas never laugh but their cry is like that of human laugh. Crocodiles do not shed tears but tears come down when they eat their victims. In our language there are some such expressions like – Crocodiles tears-

5. Look at the line, “A novice might nonplus”. How would you write this ‘correctly’? Why is the poet’s ‘incorrect’ line better in the poem? 

Ans: The line would be “A novice might be nonplussed.” The poet’s incorrect line is better because ‘nonplus’ rhymes with ‘caress’. 

6. Can you find other examples of poets taking liberties with languages, either in English or in your language 

(s)? Can you find examples of humorous poems in your own language(s)?

Ans: Yes, these are examples of poet’s taking such liberties with languages. Some times they change the pattern of the sentence and sometimes they spell a word short. In our own language also there are humorous poems. 

7. Much of the humour in the poem arises from the way language is used, although the ideas are funny, as well as. If there are particular lines in the poem that you especially like, share these with the class, speaking briefly about what it is about the ideas or the language that you like or find funny. 

Ans: These are some lines that I have found funny as well as interesting. They are :-

1) Just notice if he eats you. 

2) ‘I will do not good to roar with pain. 

3) He’II give you just one more caress, etc.
