NCERT Class 5 English Marigold Ice cream Man

Unit 1

Ice cream Man 

When summer’s in the city,

And brick’s a blaze of heat,

The Ice-cream Man with his little cart

Goes trundling down the street.

                                      Beneath his round umbrella,

                                      Oh, what a joyful sight,

                                      To see him fill the cones with mounds

                                     Of cooling brown and white:

Vanilla, chocolate, strawberry,

Or chilly things to drink

From bottles full of frosty-fizz,

Green, orange, white, or pink.

                                      His cart might be a flower bed,

                                      Of roses and sweet peas,

                                      The way the children cluster round

                                      As thick as honeybees.

New Words

blaze : bright flame or fire

trundling : moving on small broad wheels

mounds : heap, pile

frosty-fizz : chilled drink making a
