Read the given story and answer the questions given below:A farmer had a cluster of beautiful bamboo trees. One day he stood before the tallest one
and said, "My friend, I need you." "Sir," said the bamboo, "Use me in any way you wish, I
am ready." Then the gardener's voice became serious and he said, "In order to use you, I've
got to split you in half." Then the bamboo reacted, "Split me" Oh, no... I'm the nicest
bamboo in this garden. Use me in any way you wish, but please don't split me in half."
"Well," said the gardener, "if I can't split you, I can't use you." The bamboo went silent.
Then it bowed its head and said, "Okay. If the only way you can use me, is by splitting me,
go ahead." "But that's not all," said the gardener. "I am going to have to cut off all your
branches." "That will be the end of my beauty," the bamboo said. "But - if that's the only
way I can be of use - cut me down altogether." So the farmer cut down the bamboo,
removed its branches and split it down the middle. After hollowing out its insides, he
brought it to a spring of water. It became a pipe to bring water to the gardens and make
them fertile and fruitful. It gave its life to help other lives. Everyday right around us
people are giving their lives that we might live... Take for example our parents, our

The moon has a face like the clock in the hall;
She shines on thieves on the garden wall,
On streets and fields and harbour quays,
And birdies asleep in the forks of the trees.
The squalling cat and the squeaking mouse,
The howling dog by the door of the house,
The bat that lies in bed at noon,
All love to be out by the light of the moon.
But all of the things that belong to the day,
Cuddle to sleep to be out of her way,
And flowers and children close their eyes,
Till up in the morning the sun shall arise.

Read the given passage carefully and answer the following questions :Life is Like An Echo
A little boy came running excitedly to his mother saying: "Mom, there is a boy out there in
the woods who is mocking me. Everything I say he says after me. If I say: "Hello," he
says: "Hello." When I say "Who are you?" he says: "Who are you?" "So I got mad and
jumped over the fence and went into the woods to find him. But he wasn't anywhere. So I
yelled, "I'll punch you in the nose." And he said the very same thing, exactly as I had said
it." The boy's mother told him, "That is only an echo answering you Monu. If you had
50

said: 'I love you,' it would have said the same to you." There is a similar story about a dog
who went into a room full of mirrors. He eventually died of exhaustion trying to fight his
mirrored 'enemies.' If he had only wagged his tail once, he would have had all of them
wagging their tails in friendship.
Life is like an echo or a mirror: we get out of it what we put in. So, always do good.

COMPREHENSION- SIOUX LIFE


Many years ago, the Sioux tribes lived on the
grasslands, called the plains. They killed bison for
meat. Some called these animals buffalo. The Sioux cut
the meat in strips and dried it in the sun to make jerky.
Buffalo hides were used to make tepees. The hides
were wrapped around long poles, making tall tents. The
tepees could be taken down and moved around from
place to place to follow the buffalo herds. Canoes were
used for traveling down a river or crossing a lake. The
Sioux made buckskin clothing out of deer hides.
Sometimes they decorated their clothes with
colourful beads. A group of Sioux living together was called a tribe. The leader of the tribe
was called the chief. The chief often wore a long headdress of eagle feathers.
Draw a line from each word to the picture that matches it.

The kangaroo is found only in Australia. There are some 50 living species distributed
throughout the continent. Some are no bigger than rabbits and some can even climb trees.
It is the red kangaroo that is famous as Australias national symbol.
A full grown male kangaroo stands taller than a man. His tail is often
called his third leg. His huge hind legs can send him sailing over a
nine-foot fence with ease. A twitch of his tail can break a mans leg
like a matchstick. Female kangaroos have a pouch, which is basically
a fold of skin with a single opening. A new born kangaroo is less than
an inch long and is not ready for the world. So, the baby kangaroo, or
joey, has to spend some time in its mothers pouch.
