ONCE UPON A TIMEOnce upon a time, son,they used to laugh with their heartsand laugh with their eyes:but now they only laugh with their teeth,while their ice-block-cold eyessearch behind my shadow

There was a time indeedthey used to shake hands with their hearts:but that's gone, son.Now they shake hands without hearts:while their left hands searchmy empty pockets.

'Feel at home'! 'Come again':they say, and when I comeagain and feelat home, once, twice,there will be no thrice -for then I find doors shut on me.

So I have learned many things, son.I have learned to wear many faceslike dresses - home face,office face, street face, host face,cocktail face, with all their conforming smileslike a fixed portrait smile.

And I have learned tooto laugh with only my teethand shake hands without my heart.I have also learned to say, 'Goodbye',when I mean 'Good - riddance';

to say 'Glad to meet you',without being glad; and to say 'It's beennice taking to you', after being bored.

But believe me, son.I want to be what I used to beWhen I was like you. I wantto unlearn all these muting things.Most of all, I want to relearnhow to laugh, for my laugh in the mirrorshows only my teeth like a snake's bare fangs!

So show me, son,how to laugh; show me howI used to laugh and smileonce upon a time when I was like you.

1. Read the following passage carefullyMany years ago, Norman Cousins was diag-

nosed as ''terminally ill.'' He was given sixmonths to live. His chance for recovery wasone in 500.

He could see the worry, depression andanger in his life contributed to, and perhapshelped cause, his disease. He wondered, 'If ill-ness can be caused by negativity, can wellnessbe created by positivity?'

He decided to make an experiment of him-self. Laughter was one of the most positiveactivities he knew. He rented all the funnymovies he could find - Keaton, Chaplin, Fields,

the Marx brothers. He read funny stories. Heasked his friends to call him whenever theysaid, heard or did something funny.

His pain was so great he could not sleep.Laughing for 10 solid minutes, he found relievedthe pain for several hours so he could sleep.

He fully recovered from his illness and livedanother 20 happy, healthy and productiveyears. He credits visualization, the love of hisfamily and friends, and laughter for his recovery.

Since Cousins' ground-breaking subjectivework, scientific studies have shown that laugh-ter has a curative effect on the body, the mindand the emotions.

So, if you like laughing, consider it soundmedical advice to indulge in it as often as youcan. If you don't like laughter, then take yourmedicine - laugh anyway.

Use whatever makes you laugh - movies, sit-coms, Monty Python, records, books, new yearcartoon, jokes, friends.

Give yourself permission to laugh - long andloud and out loud - whenever anything strikesyou as funny. The people around you may thinkyou're strange, but sooner or later they'll join in

even if they don't know what you're laughingabout. Some diseases may be contagious, butnone is as contagious as the cure laughter.

Now, answer the following questions. Eachquestion has four choices. Choose the correct answer and write the option (A), (B) or(C) in your answer booklet. (4 × 1 = 4 M)1. What is the attitude we develop in illness?

A) solitary B) sedentaryC) positive D) negative

2. What is the best medicine of hopeless ill-ness?A) prevention of disease B) positivity C) laughter D) drugs

3. Who was Chaplin?A) A hero of comedy B) Cousins' friendC) Doctor of CousinsD) A famous celebrity

4. Emotions can be controlled by .....A) controlling angerB) keeping oneself quiteC) controlling food habitsD) sharing laughter and joy

Answer the following questions in two orthree sentences each. (3 × 2 = 6 Marks)5. How did Cousins adopt laughter as a cure

for his illness?6. What does Cousins make responsible for

his recovery?7. What are the means to make one laugh?

Why is laughter contagious according to thewriter?

Answers

1-D 2-B 3-A 4-D5. Since Cousins studied that laughter has cur-

ative effect on the body, mind and emotions,he adopted laughter as a cure for his illness.

6. Cousins makes 'laughter' responsible for hisrecovery because it keeps one indulged in'positivity.'

7. Movies, sitcoms, Monty Pythons, records,books, cartoons, jokes or friends can beused as means to make one laugh. Laughteris contagious because it opens you up when-ever you see something funny and soonspreads to others who join you even thoughthey don't know why you are laughing.

A. Toys for a Helping HandIt was none other than the Nizam, the ruler of Hyderabad,

that the toy-markers of Nirmal had caught by surprise. The fifthNizam came to power in 1857. On his first visit to Nirmal soonafter coronation, the toy-markers created a huge woodenbanana bud with gold-coloured petals and had it placed abovethe throne.

As the Nizam took his seat, the banana bud unfolded, show-ering the petals on him. For the next one hundred years, theNizams showered patronage on the toy-makers.

But that ended more than 60 years ago, with the Nizams los-ing their throne. Now, the art of giving life to wooden picturesthat had originated sometime in the 14th century in this smalltown is in crisis.

Latchaiah, a 60 yearold artisan said, 'Bothmy sons have joinedgovernment service.This is hard work, andnot much paying.'Typically, the toysrange from Rs. 5 to500. Some speciallyordered ones can goup to Rs. 25,000.

The art began with pictures from Hindu mythology. Later, therange expanded to birds, animals, fruits and vegetables. Butthe craft is fast losing its visibility, as one can buy the toys onlyat Nirmal, where the Nirmal Toys and Arts Co-op- Society hasits only sales outlet. Earlier, however, the toys were availableall branches of Kinnerasani, state handcrafts emporium.

A Kinnerasani official, who refused to be identified, said,'The society has stopped sending us toys for more than a yearnow.' Clarified D T Chari, 75, secretary of the society: 'Theydemand credit that rolls on to months and even to years.'

The real threat is different, though. During the past 15 years,not a single new person has joined the trade, as one can'tmake more than Rs. 100-150 a day after purring in 10 hours ofwork.

'If I am approached, I would ensure Kinnerasani pay for thetoys in cash and not insist on credit,' said Chokka Rao,Managing Director of Telangana Handicrafts DevelopmentCorporation.

13. Nirmal toys are famous for their beauty. They werepatronized by the fifth Nizam of Hyderabad. Once the artwas profitable to the artisans. Now it is no longer attrac-tive as it is not paying. Your report should not be lessthan 120 words.

Shanthi is now joined in aGirls' Residential School and studying therehappily. Thanks to the Rescue Team. I toowould like to join such team when I grow big-ger.

CHILD LABOUR

'CHILD IS THE FATHER OF MAN' - thefamous lines by William Wordsworth. It symbol-izes the need of children in building a healthynation and society. Childhood is the first stageafter infancy. It is the formative period in men'slife. For their minds are very soft, receptive andplastic at this tender age.

Children's mind is like potter's clay. It has tobe shaped in a right manner. A child normallyhas to enjoy its childhood days with its par-ents, teachers, etc. It is the age where fineand long lasting impressions gather in child'smind.

Childhood is the best time to develop spiritu-al, intellectual, emotional support. But this ruleof nature has been crippled by the perilous childlabour.

Every child has his right to enjoy his child-hood. But a few children are forcefully put towork. Throughout the world about 250 million

school age children are working in factories anddifferent fields. Due to poverty poor parents puttheir children to work in order to supplement thefamily's economic status.

This conceals the talent and interests inthem. Their urge to go to school is dismissed bytheir parents. This makes the nation lose a fewcreative minds. The children are deprived ofeducation. They are made to work under threat-ening conditions. They are overworked andunder paid. Children are made to shine shoeson footpath, they work as milk boys, rag pickers,house maids, cleaners in hotels, etc. We canalso find children selling newspapers on high-ways. All such adverse practices are to be abol-ished once for all, without leaving its traces forfuture generations.
