Question Numbers: 106-111Read the extract given below and answer the questions that follow :Your pretty bird in a gilded cageFlutters its sorrowful wingsBut there's never a cage-bird yet could singAs my bird sings.He's little and brown and wild and shy,But free to build and thrive,Your poor bit thing behind its bars Is only half alive!My bird sings out with a true wood-note,Your pipes of sorrowful things,And never, now, may he learn the song That my bird sings.Never, now, may he wheel and soarWith the sunshine on his wings,O, a bird in a cage is a crippled thingBut my bird sings!
