For Want of a Nail

For want of a nail the shoe was lost,
For want of a shoe the horse was lost,
For want of a horse the rider was lost,
For want of a rider the battle was lost,
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost,
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.

इस कविता में बताया गया है कि कैसे छोटी से छोटी चीज भी बहुत महत्वपूर्ण होती है। एक कील नहीं मिलने के कारण घोड़े की नाल नहीं लग पाई। नाल की कमी के कारण घोड़ा दौड़ नहीं सकता है। अगर घोड़ा नहीं मिलेगा तो सवार कुछ नहीं कर पाएगा। यदि सवार नहीं मिलेंगे तो युद्ध में हार मिलेगी। जब युद्ध में हार होगी तो पूरा राजपाट छिन जाएगा। और पूरा राजपाट इसलिए छिन जाता है क्योंकि एक मामूली कील नहीं मिलती है।

Now form questions for the answers given here:

(a) Why was the shoe lost?

Answer: The shoe was lost for the want of the nail.

(b) Why was the kingdom lost?

Answer: The kingdom was lost because the battle could not be fought.
