She had a scarlet cap on her head,

And that was left the same;

But all the rest of her clothes were burned

Black as a lump of coal in the flame.

And every country schoolboy

Has seen her in the wood,

Where she lives in the trees till this very day,

Boring and boring for food.

Questions :

i. What was the colour of the cap on her head?

ii. What was condition of the rest of her clothes?

iii. What has every schoolboy seen?

iv. What does the woodpecker do all day?

v. Where does she live now?
