Respected Madam, Actually I also searched over the net, but could find matter relevant to "a big water bird". I could not find info related to "the frog weeping". What I Found Was::: "Then, one night a nightingale appears at the bog. Her melodious voice captures the admiring attention of the creatures of the Bingle Bog. Ducks and herons swim towards the Sumac tree to hear the nightingale serenade. Some lonely creature even weeps hearing her song. When she stops, there is thunderous applause with the creatures demanding a repeat performance (encore). The jealous frog disturbed by the intrusion of a challenging rival listens to the nightingale dumbstruck." "Case in point: Vikram Seth's The Frog and the Nightingale. Anyone who's read any fiction whatsoever knows what a loon is: it's a water fowl with a weeping sort of call. For those that don't know, the CBSE actually prints this definition at the bottom of the page where the word appears. However, our English teacher seems to think loon means a crazy person here: the poem is about a bog in a watery area and talks about birds, so of course when a loon is mentioned, it means a crazy person, not a water bird." This is what other students are answering about this issue. Try this link:"http://kshitijl.blogspot.com/2006/07/so-now-ive-finally-done-some-of.html" - Nehal J. Wani Class X-"B"
