    i. The story is called a fable by some, but the poet believes it contains truth - that one should enjoy the present but not at the expense of neglecting the future. ii. It was clear from a great height that the Earth had more sea than land and was round, and that cities were populated along rivers. However, it was not clear why men built walls and found reasons to hate each other. iii. The camel in the story continues to carry its hump as punishment for being lazy, as it still has not completed the three days of work it missed.

    i. Folks call this story a fable.

    ii. The ant turned the door to the cricket.


    iii. The poet believes that it might be a fable for some but it is actually
    true that one should enjoy the present but not at the cost of ignoring
    the future.

    iv. 4: Mention two things that are

    v. (i) clear from the height.

    vi. (ii) not clear from the height.

    vii. Ans: (i) From the height, it was clear that there are populated cities
    and valleys of the countries near the rivers. It was also clear that the
    earth was round and that it had more sea than land.

    viii. (ii) From the height, it was not clear why the men on the earth found
    reasons to hate each other. It was also not understandable why men
    had to build walls across cities and why they had to kill. When Nature
    has not  made any boundaries why man is trying to divide the
    beautiful world by walls.
    ix.
    x. Ans: According to the writer, the camel is still a very lazy animal that
    is unwilling to work. After he got the hump, the Djinn asked him to go
    out of the desert to help the other three animals. It seems that the
    camel still did not behave himself and worked lazily in the desert
    itself. It is for this reason that he was still unable to complete the
    pending work of those three missed days; and he continued carrying
    the hump and living in the desert.
    xi.
    xii. Ans: According to the Djinn,  as the camel missed his work for three
    days,he would be able to do work for three days without eating. The
    hump would help the camel in storing the food and use it during his
    work without eating anything for a long period.

    xiii.

    xiv. Ans: The story 'Children at  work' gives a vivid picture of the plight of
    the slum dwellers basically the children. It tells us about the cruel
    reality that what is thrown out as rubbish can become a source of
    living for other. People throw away bottles,paper leftover of food
    which these children pick and earn some money. Our waste is
    valuable and blessing for them as their life depends on them.
    Circumstance force them to do such thing.
