What A Bird Thought Class 6 Summary

The poem 'What A Bird Thought' tells us how a bird perceives its world. When it is in its shell, it perceives (understands, becomes aware) the world to be small and round, and made of a pale-blue shell. When it comes out of its shell into its nest, it perceives the world to be made up of straw. When it grows a little and learns to fly, it perceives the world to be made up of leaves. Now that it has grown up and can fly extremely well, it has left its little home, the nest and the tree, and flies wherever it wants to. And when it sees the vast blue sky, the bird is unsure what the world is really made up of. Hence, the bird wants to find out from us what the world is really like.
