Listening

Listen to the poem read by the teacher or to the recorded version and write a synopsis in about 100 words. The teacher can choose any three stanzas.

My son starts school today. It is all going to be strange and new to him. I wish you would treat him gently. To live this life will require faith, love and courage. If you can teach him that for every enemy, there is a friend and teach him that all men are not just, but all men are not true. Teach him earning money through illegal way to fail than to cheat. Teach him to be gentle with people, tough with tough people. Teach him how to laugh when he is sad without shame in tears. Teach him the wonders of books. Teach him to have faith in his own ideas. Teach him to listen everyone and to screen of truth and take only the good. Teach him what best you can do. He is such a nine little boy and he is my son.
