Read the extract given below and answer the questions that follow.
Meadows have surprises,
You can find them if you look;
Walk softly through the velvet grass,
And listen by the brook.
You may see a butterfly
Rest upon a buttercup
And unfold its drinking straws
To sip the nectar up.
You may scare a rabbit
Who is sitting very still;
Though at first you may not see him,
When he hops you will.
Explore the meadow houses
The burrows in the ground,
A nest beneath tall grasses
The ant's amazing mound.
