Okay, little buddy! Let's talk about the little poem that talks about a hare. Do you know what a hare is? It's like a bunny, but a bit bigger and they can hop really fast!
Now, when it says, 'The hare is pricking up its ears,' this means the hare is listening very carefully. Imagine if you heard a funny noise, you might lift your head and listen closely, right? Just like that, the hare lifts its ears up to hear better!
Then, it says, 'A rustle – away it hops!' A 'rustle' is a soft noise, like when leaves or grass move. So, the hare hears this noise and quickly decides to jump away, like when you run away to play tag!
So, this little line is telling us how a hare listens and then hops away fast when it hears something. Isn’t that fun? It reminds us to pay attention to the sounds around us!
