Tiger Summary Class 5 English Gul Mohar

Summary

The poem "Tiger" tells us about a tiger that lives in a zoo. The tiger has beautiful stripes and moves quietly in his cage. He is not happy because he should be in the jungle, where he can hide in the shadows and walk through the tall grass near a water hole where deer come to drink water.

In the poem, it says that the tiger should be showing his sharp teeth and claws near the edge of the jungle to make the people in the nearby village scared. But instead, he is locked in a small space made of concrete walls. He walks back and forth, ignoring the visitors who come to see him.

At night, when everything is quiet, the tiger listens to the sounds of cars passing by and looks at the bright stars in the sky. The speaker of the poem feels sad for the tiger because he should be in his natural home, but he is stuck in a cage.
