Question

From “A Bird Came Down the Walk”

by Emily Dickinson
1 A bird came down the walk:
2 He did not know I saw;
3 He bit an angle-worm in halves
4 And ate the fellow, raw.
5 And then he drank a dew
6 From a convenient grass,
7 And then hopped sidewise to the wall
8 To let a beetle pass.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

And that time he gulped a dew. From a suitable grass.

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to understand paraphrasing. And keep in mind you can use few words as it is and like here dew and grass. These two are part of nature gifted to us by God. And hence no one can copyright this. And that means you can use it as it is. Also, you need to keep in mind while paraphrasing that not more than two words should be used as it is in the new paraphrase. You can do that only if you have something natural, or scientific, names of legends, and in fact something that cannot be copyright by anybody. Otherwise, never use more than two words, and also ensure that intent remains the same, and even the tenses. And as an example, you can see the above answer.
