Recite the poem below
WHO AM I?
I am a domestic animal
With Seven branches
Four are normal
Two are dry and one went mad.

I give people many things

They depend on me
I help them to work
I am their transport

I help them with their digging

But they don’t appreciate me
Who am I?

Poor me, when it rains I cannot step on the veranda

They beat me with their sticks
Coldness, rain and darkness are my Company.
Gideon
