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.

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
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.

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.
