NCERT Class 4 English Marigold Why Alice in Wonderland

UNIT-4

Why?

Alice in Wonderland

Why?

I know a curious little boy,

Who is always asking “Why?”

Why this, why that, why then, why now?

Why not, why by-the-by?

                                    He wants to know why wood should swim,

                                    Why lead and marble sink,

                                    Why sun should shine and wind should blow

                                    And why we eat and drink.

He wants to know what makes the clouds

And why they cross the sky,

Why sinks the sun behind the hills

And why the flowers die.

                                     Some of these why’s are not too hard

                                     To answer if you’ll try;

                                     Others no one ever yet

                                     Has found the reason why
