Verse 2 ➢ Still outoors,the child sees trees and bird’s nest. The child then wonders who teaches birds t build nests and also tells the tree to take a rest.The child has probably observed plants and trees swaying in the wind and now wonders why they are standing still.

Verse 3 ➢ It is night-time and the child’s thoughts shift to the moon in the sky.The child has observed the changing shapes of the moon and ponders why the moon is not round all the time.Maybe the child has seen the half moon and/or the three-quarter moon before and is now puzzled as to where the ‘missing bit’ can be.

Verse 4 ➢ The twinkling stars in the night sky make the child wonder about the person who lights the stars and then relights them when their lights go out.The child then thinks of other lights and wonders who makes the flashes of lightning during a storm.

Verse 5 ➢ The child moves on to think about the beauty of Nature after the rain.The child wonders about the person who paints the colourful rainbow that is seen after the rain.The child also wants to know the person responsible for hanging clouds high up in the sky.

Verse 6 ➢ The child wonders why his/her father cannot provide any answers since he is an adult who is supposed to know anything.The reader is left with the idea that the child continues to wonder if adults like his/her father actually have the answers behind these unexplainable wonders of Nature.
