To find the similes in the poem, we need to look for comparisons that use the words
"like" or
"as". A simile compares two different things to show how they are similar.
Let's read through the poem line by line to find them:
1. *"Once a magician came to school,"* – No comparison here.
2. *"With a wand, his only tool."* – No comparison here.
3. *"He tapped his hat, and took a bow."* – No comparison here.
4. *"Out came a rabbit, white as snow;"* – Here is one! It compares the rabbit's color to snow using the word
"as".
* Simile:
white as snow
5. *"His fur like silk, smooth and fine."* – Here is another! It compares the rabbit's fur to silk using the word

* Simile:

6. *"Abracadabra! The magician said,*
7. *"The rabbit’s ears like clay, he stretched."* – Here is the third one! It compares the rabbit's ears to clay using the word

8. *"How funny the rabbit did then look!*
9. *"Like a cloak, hung on a hook."* – Here is the fourth one! It compares the stretched rabbit to a cloak using the word
"Like".

10. *"Sins Saba West Sin Saba Bini I old has,*
11. *"And saw the rabbit disappear.*
12. *"Amazed beyond words, I was that day;*
13. *"Like a rabbit, I hopped away."* – Here is the last one! It compares the person hopping to a rabbit using the word
