Teachers Diary class 5th chapter 3 My shadow
Period II Subject- English chapter-03 My shadow
My shadow
I have a little shadow that goes
in and out with me.
And what can be the use of him is
more than I can see.
He is very, very like me from the
heels up to the head;
And I see him jump before me,
When I jump into my bed.
The funniest thing about him is the way
he likes to grow
Not at all like proper children,
For he sometimes shoots up taller like an
India-rubber ball,
And he sometimes gets so little that
There's none of him at all.
One morning, very early, before the
Sun I was up,
I rose and found the shining dew
on every buttercup;
But my lazy little shadow, like an
arrant sleepyhead.
Had stayed at home behind me and was
Fast asleep in bed.
