Read and listen to these two poems with your partner and find out what are the things that the village child and the city child like.
| The Village ChildMy home is a houseNear a woodI’d live in a streetIf I could! I do wish someone Lived near. There’s no one to play with At all. The trees are so high And so tall: And I should be lonely For hours, Were it not for the birds And the flowers. | The City ChildI live in a city In a street; It is crowded with traffic And feet; There are buses and motors And trams. I wish there were meadows And lambs. The houses all wait In a row There is smoke everywhere That I go. I don’t like the noises I hear I wish there were woods Very near. |
