A lady who liked to knit
There was a lady who liked to knit,
So she went on her roof to sit.
She fell on the ground,
For her treatment, she had to sell her precious jewels around.
Her candle started to lit,
It took her long to get fit.
-Anaya Parekh
This poem is written by Anaya Parekh, an 8-year-old from Kolkata, who has been mentored by the team at Word Munchers.
