Detailed explanation-1: -NCERT Class 9 English poem ‘A Legend of the Northland’ teaches us a strong moral principle that we should never be selfish and think of others too. The poem teaches us to be generous and to help the needy if we are capable of doing so.
Detailed explanation-2: -What message does the poet want to convey? Answer: The poet wants to say that there should be no discrimination between people on the basis of their appearance, religion or region. It is inhuman to tease one because of one’s different background.
Detailed explanation-3: -A Legend of Northland Summary The poem is a legend about an old lady who angered Saint Peter because of her greed. The story goes on like this. One day, Saint Peter was preaching around the world and reached the door of a cottage where this woman lived. She was making cakes and baking them on a hearth.
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer: No, this is not a true story. It is a legend. I think the most important part of this poem is the one in which Saint Peter turns the old lady into a woodpecker to teach her a lesson.
