Name …………………………………… Date………………

A Bamboo TreeRead 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.

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

56

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 LIFEMany years ago, the Sioux tribes lived on the grasslands, called the plains. They killed bison for meat. Some called these animals

58

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.

Read the passage carefully and answer the questions given below:-: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 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. So, the baby kangaroo, or joey, has to spend some time in its mother’s pouch.

Ans. ___________________________________________________________________

2. What is a joey ?
