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 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.

Some are no bigger than rabbits and some can even climb trees. It is the red kangaroo that is famous as Australia’s 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 man’s 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.
