If a tiger attacks you, it’s a Bengal tiger. If a leopard jumps on you and eats you, it’s a leopard. Through fun examples, the poet introduces animals with humor. ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ เคธाเคฐांเคถ (เคนिंเคฆी เคฎें) เค•เคตिเคคा เคฎเคœ़ाเค•िเคฏा เค…ंเคฆाเคœ़ เคฎें เคฌเคคाเคคी เคนै เค•ि เคœंเค—เคฒी เคœाเคจเคตเคฐों เค•ो เค•ैเคธे เคชเคนเคšाเคจे। เค…เค—เคฐ เค•ोเคˆ เคถेเคฐ เคฆเคนाเคก़ เค•เคฐ เค†เคชเค•ो เคฎाเคฐ เคฆे เคคो เคตเคน เคถेเคฐ เคนै। เค…เค—เคฐ เคฌाเค˜ เคนเคฎเคฒा เค•เคฐे เคคो เคตเคน เคฌंเค—ाเคฒ เคŸाเค‡เค—เคฐ เคนै। เค…เค—เคฐ เค•ोเคˆ เคคेंเคฆुเค† เค•ूเคฆ เค•เคฐ เค†เคชเค•ो เค–ा เคœाเค เคคो เคตเคน เคคेंเคฆुเค† เคนै। เค•เคตि เคนाเคธ्เคฏเคชूเคฐ्เคฃ เคคเคฐीเค•े เคธे เคœाเคจเคตเคฐों เค•ा เคชเคฐिเคšเคฏ เคฆेเคคा เคนै। ๐Ÿ‘‰ Message Learning can be fun when presented with humor.
