DICTIONARY STD 8 ( मराठी आवृत्ती )

Be The Best If you can't be a pine on the top of the hill , Be a scrub in the valley but be the valley that the The best little scrub by the side of the rill ; Be a bush if you can't be a tree . If you can't be a bush be a bit of the grass , And some highway happier make ; If you are a muskie then just be a bass But the liveliest bass in the lake ! We can't all be captains , we've got to be crew , There's something for all of us here , There's big work to do , and there's lesser , to do And the task you must do is the near . If you can't be a highway then just be a trail , If you can't be the sun be a star ; It isn't by size that you win or you fail Be the best of whatever you are !
