Reading Passage
In a cozy farmyard, beneath the bright sun’s glow,
Lies a secret treasure that many may not know.
It’s small and oval, with a shell smooth and white,
A gift from the hen, a delight to our sight.
Eggs are nature’s marvel, simple yet profound,
A source of nourishment that’s easily found.
From breakfast tables to baking treats,
Eggs are a staple that everyone eats.
In the morning, a scramble or fried sunny side,
Heats up our mornings with warmth and pride.
Boiled eggs are firm, with a yolk that’s rich,
A snack that can make any tummy itch.
Some eggs are brown, others are white,
But their taste remains a pure delight.
They come in different sizes, from tiny to large,
A versatile food that’s popular and in charge.
But eggs aren’t just food, they’re also a part of art,
Poets and painters have played their part.
They symbolize new life, hope, and rebirth,
A fragile shell hiding treasures of worth.
On Easter mornings, eggs are dyed bright,
Colors of joy, shining with delight.
Children hunt for eggs, hidden around,
Laughter and cheer fill every sound.
In stories and poems, eggs often appear,
Representing beginnings, both far and near.
They remind us that life starts small and new,
A tiny seed that grows and grew.
Farming has taught us to care for each egg,
Handling with kindness, not a single one to beg.
Because eggs are delicate, they must be treated with grace,
A small reminder to handle life’s blessings with pace.
In some places, eggs are a symbol of prosperity,
Bringing luck and good fortune generously.
From ancient times to modern days,
Eggs have held a special place in many ways.
So next time you see an egg, think of its journey,
From a cozy hen’s nest to your breakfast plenty.
It’s more than just a simple, everyday food,
It’s a symbol of life, hope, and the good.
With every crack and every shell, there’s a story to tell,
Of nature’s wonder and life’s gentle swell.
Eggs remind us that from small beginnings grow,
Endless possibilities, like a bright new glow.
