I’m in the clock crew and I’m okay!

I tick all night and I tick all day.
I’ve got two hands; I’m having a ball,
Because I’ve got no arms at all!
My big hand can move sixty minutes in one hour,
I’m the one with the strength and power.
My small hand isn’t quite as fast.
If they were in a race, it would come last!
It takes so long just to get around (12 hours you
know),
It’s careful, small, and slow.
Now meet my friends that help me tick- tick,
Half past, quarter past, quarter to and o’clock

 Read the following story and answer the questions that follow:
Alice was an easy going 7 year-old. One day she brought a small
alarm clock in a toy store, when she returned home and opened the
box she found the alarm clock was very small. She was very angry
with the toy store owner; because Alice thought she had lied to her.
She angrily threw the alarm clock in the bush.
The sound of the alarm clock awoke the turtle that was sleeping. The turtle slowly climbed
towards the alarm clock, he suddenly remembered his friend, the little squirrel whose alarm clock
was broken, he put the alarm clock onto his back and slowly crawled to the squirrel’s house. The
turtle spent three days and finally he reached the squirrel’s place. He gently knocked at the door,
the squirrel opened it and saw his friend standing outside. He invited the turtle into his house and
handed the turtle a cup of water, the cup was made of walnut shell. After the turtle finished the
water, he gave the small alarm clock to the squirrel but the alarm clock was too small. The squirrel
tried it out for a day, but he did not hear the alarm the next morning. The little squirrel threw the
alarm clock into a trash bin and he wrote a note and placed in on top of the clock.”The alarm clock
is too small, I have no use of it. If anyone needs it, take it! Squirrel!”
The next morning, an earthworm found the piece of

paper and the alarm clock, he took it home but even
for him it was just too small to see. In the evening, he
placed the alarm clock on the nightstand, the next
morning when he work up he could not find the clock.
He finally found the alarm clock in the afternoon. He
put the small alarm clock on the grass, then a group of
ants came out to play, they were excited to have found
the alarm clock because they did not have an alarm
clock at home and they always woke up late! They
brought the alarm clock back, it was just right for
them. Now they have an alarm clock, no longer would
they worry about being late for work!
Answer the following questions in one sentence

only:
1. What did Alice buy?
2. Why did she throw what she had bought?
3. Who did the turtle give the gift?
4. Where did the squirrel throw the gift?
5. Who was benefitted finally by what Alice had bought?

Cultivate them in your talk

In your life as you walk

A COUCH POTATO’S TRANSFORMATION
I slouched on my couch,
Crunched, crunched on my Munch.
Just a bulging belly, droopy lifeless eyes,
Puffed up cheeks and leaden thighs.
I sat glued day and night,
To the screen that was too bright.
My glasses grew thicker and thicker,
My legs grew weaker and weaker.
Then one day whispered my heart,
“With you I shall soon part,
Pumping your life blood,
I’ll soon end: I’m exhausted!”
Then one day whispered my brain,
“Your precious life wasted down the drain,
This gift, this life on earth;
At your door waits death.”
I sat up straight, thought for long;
Thoughts of death haunted me long.
A small voice whispered to me,
“It’s not too late to change,” it told me.
I got up and walked out,
Jogged and ran about,
Climbed trees and skipped around,
And munched on green things around.
Now look at me, my friends,
There is a twinkle in my eyes,
A skip in my steps, a glow in my looks,
And my skin just gleams and glistens.
Life is beautiful now!
I am alive and bright now!
Not for me any couches and gizmo,
My friend, I am no more a couch potato.

 Read the following story and answer the questions given below:
One day, in a heavily crowded place, a young man began shouting.
“People, look at me. I have the most beautiful heart in the world.”
Many people looked at him and were stunned to see his beautiful heart in a
perfect shape, without any flaw. It looked quite amazing. Most of the people
who saw his heart were mesmerized by the beauty of his heart, and praised him.
However, there came an old man who challenged the young man,
“No my son, I have got the most beautiful heart in the world!”
The young man asked him, “Show me your heart, then!”
The old man showed his heart to him. It was very rough, uneven, and had scars all over.
In addition, the heart was not in shape; it appeared like bits and pieces
joined in various colours. There were some rough edges;
some parts were removed, and fitted with other pieces.
The young man started laughing, and said,
“My dear old man, are you mad? See, my heart!
How beautiful and flawless it is.
You cannot find even a bit of imperfection in my heart.
See, yours? It is full of scars, wounds, and blemishes. How can you say your heart is beautiful?”
“Dear boy, my heart is just as beautiful as your heart is. Did you see the scars?
Each scar represents the love I shared with a person.
I share a piece of my heart with others when I share love,
and in return I get a piece of heart, which I fix at the place from where I have torn a piece!” said the old man.
The young man was shocked.
The old man continued, “Since the pieces of heart I shared were neither equal
nor in the same shape or size, my heart is full of uneven edges and bits and pieces.
My heart is not in shape because sometimes I do not get love
in return from those to whom I gave it. Your heart that looks fresh and full
with no scars indicates that you never shared love with anybody. Isn’t that true?”
The young man stood still and did not speak a word. Tears rolled down his cheeks.
He walked to the old man, tore a piece of his heart and gave the piece to the old man.
Many give importance and respect to physical beauty. Yet, real beauty is not physical!
1. Fill in the blanks with one word or phrase:
a) The young man’s heart was ____________ and ____________.
b) The old man’s heart was full of ___________, ___________ and _____________.
c) Each scar represented the ___________________ which the old man ___________ with others.

Speak gently; it is better far
To rule by love than fear; Speak gently to the aged one,
Speak gently; let no harsh word mar Grieve not the care-worn heart;
The good we may do here. Whose sands of life are nearly run,
Let such in peace depart.
Speak gently to the little child;
Its love be sure to gain; Speak gently, kindly to the poor;
Teach it in accents soft and mild; Let no harsh tone be heard:
It may not long remain. They have enough they must endure,
Without an unkind word.
Speak gently to the young; for they
Will have enough to bear; Speak gently ; ’tis a little thing
Dropped in the heart’s deep well;
Pass through this life as best they may, The good, the joy, that it may bring,
‘Tis full of anxious care. Eternity shall tell.
Speak gently; Love doth whisper low G. W. LANGFORD.

And gently Friendship’s accents flow;

THE VALUE OF A COPPER COIN
Mahatma Gandhi, honoured as the father of India, was a very special person.
The following story illustrates one of the reasons for him to be called ‘Mahatma’ (great soul).
Once, Gandhi was on an expedition to collect funds from
various cities and villages for an organization to help the poor.
He went to several places and finally reached Orissa.
He organized a meeting in Orissa.
There, he gave a speech to the public, requesting them to give him
funds for the organization. At the end of his speech, a very old woman
with bent back, tattered clothing, white hair, and shrunken skin got up.
She requested the volunteers to allow her to reach Gandhi.
However, the volunteers stopped her. She did not give up.
She fought with them and reached Gandhi.
She touched the feet of Gandhi. Then she took out a copper coin
kept in the folds of her saree and placed it at his feet.
Then the old lady left the stage.
Gandhi very carefully took the coin. The treasurer of the organization
for the poor asked Gandhi for the copper coin, but he refused to give it.
“I keep cheques worth thousands of rupees,” said the treasurer.
“Yet you won’t trust me with a copper coin!”
Gandhi said, “This copper coin is worth much more than those thousands.
If a man has several lakhs and he gives away a thousand or two, it doesn’t mean much.”
Yes, the coin might have been the only thing that the poor old woman possessed.
She did not even have proper clothes and could not afford good food.
Still she gave everything she had. That is why Gandhi regarded the coin as very precious.
Offering help when we have nothing or very little makes it more valuable.

 Read the following passage and answer the questions given below:
Maggie and Alex live in a tall building in a neighborhood in the center of the city. There are no trees near their
building, but they are happy in their home and it is close to their jobs.
In the part of the city where they live, there is not much fresh food to buy. The stores only have processed foods in
packages. Maggie and Alex and all the other people in the building have to eat food that they buy in boxes and
plastic containers.
This makes so much garbage that no one knows where to put it. While they wait for Fridays, when the city collects
the garbage, all the neighbors put their trash into bags and sometimes leave it in the hallway or on the big, sunny
roof. The whole building looks terrible. No one can spend time playing on the roof because it is full of trash.
One day, Maggie and Alex decide to make a change. They go up to the roof and separate all the recyclable
garbage, like cardboard, plastic bottles, glass, and aluminum cans. Then they take all of the garbage down to the
street for the garbage collectors.
But they do not carry down the plastic bottles! They cut off the tops and use them as pots to plant tomatoes and
carrots. They plant herbs, too.
Their neighbors get very excited when Maggie and Alex tell them about their project. Whenever they have free time
after work or on the weekends, all the neighbors go up to the roof. They enjoy the sun and help take care of the
plants in the garden. They all cooperate, and by working together, they soon have a big, beautiful vegetable
garden!
Now the roof looks beautiful, and everyone eats much healthier food. They spend time in their community garden,
enjoy the sun, and create much less garbage. In fact, they even save money because they do not have to buy so
much packaged food.
The garden is a real success, and the building in the center of the city is a much nicer place to live because of it. All
of the neighbors safeguard their environment and improve it for themselves and for each other.
And now, practice:

For a day and a night.

Had been going there too.

In a land far away, once upon a time there was great poverty: onlyTLO: PRONUNCIATION;
the rich could manage APPRECIATION OF POEM
without great problems. Three of those rich men, and their servants, were traveling on the
same road, in a convoy, when they came to a very poor village. Seeing this poverty provoked
different reactions in all three rich men.
The first couldn't stand to see it, so he took all the gold and jewels from his wagons and shared them out among the villagers.
He wished them all the best of luck, and he left.
The second rich man, seeing the desperate situation, stopped for a short time, and gave the villagers all his food and drink,
since he could see that money would be of little use to them. He made sure that each villager received their fair share and
would have enough food to last for some time. Then, he left.
The third rich man, on seeing such poverty, speeded up and traveled straight through the village without stopping. The two
other rich men saw this from a distance, and commented with each other how the third rich man lacked decency and
compassion. It was good that they had been there to help the poor villagers...
However, three days later, they met the third rich man who was traveling in the opposite direction. He was still traveling
quickly, but his wagons, instead of the gold and valuables they had been carrying, were now full of farming implements, tools,
and sacks of seeds and grain. He was heading to the poor village to help them out of poverty.
This happened a long, long time ago, but we can see the very same thing happening today too. There are some generous
people who give only so that people can see how much they are giving. They don't want to know anything about the people
they are giving to.
Other generous people really try to help others, but only so that they can feel better about themselves.
But there are other generous people: the best kind. To them it doesn't matter what the other kinds of generous people think
of them. Nor do they give in a showy way. Instead, they truly worry about how best to improve the lives of those they are
helping. They give greatly of something much more valuable than money. They give their time, their vision and their lives.
We still have time to change to this third, and best, group!

ACTIVITY III TLO: APPRECIATING NATURE; IMPORTANCE OF PLANET
1. THE PLANET IS ONE BIG PARTY. TLO: PRONUNCIATION; APPRECIATION OF POEM
EARTH
Earth is the only planet in our galaxy that can support life. Scientists estimate that Earth is home to about
300,000 plant species, over 600,000 species of fungi, and about ten million animal species. Guess you could say
we’re the life of the party.
2. EARTH HAS A SUPERPOWER—IT SPORTS AN INVISIBLE SHIELD.
Earth is surrounded by a cloud of gas called the plasmasphere. This cloud interacts with rings of particles that
also surround the planet to create an invisible shield. The “armor” deflects superfast electrons that zip through
space and could harm Earth if they were able to enter the atmosphere.
3. THIS PLANET IS INTO RECYCLING.
The ground you walk on is recycled. It starts off as sizzling-hot magma deep within the planet’s core. This is
pushed up to the surface, where it cools and becomes hard rock. Winds erode the rock, shaving off tiny
fragments that get buried back into the earth, where they’re reheated into magma. Then the cycle starts
again. Good to know Earth is so green.
4. EARTH IS IN THE PERFECT POSITION.
Earth spins around a tilted axis, or an imaginary line that runs through the planet from the South Pole to the
North Pole. If the planet were angled any differently, or if Earth were even just a little closer to or farther from
the sun, temperatures would shift drastically. And that would make life here impossible.
5. OUR PLANET IS A MYSTERY.

About 95 percent of the Earth’s oceans (which make up more than 70 percent of the planet) remain
unexplored. Scientists estimate almost a million undiscovered species could live in these unseen seas. Some
lands, like parts of the rain forests in New Guinea, are also uncharted. This means that many things on Earth
have yet to be discovered.

Akbar used to love going out on hunting expeditions.

Once, when Akbar was out on one such expedition,
he and some of his courtiers lost their way somehow.
At last, they came to a junction of three roads.
Akbar was very happy as he thought that now he could reach his capital,
Agra through one of these roads. He was not sure as to which of
the three roads led to Agra. No courtier was able to tell
which road went to the Emperor’s capital.
Just then, they saw a young man coming towards them
on one of the three roads. Akbar called out,
“Wait up young man!” and asked him, “Could you tell us which road goes to Agra?”
The man smiled and said, “Sir, none of these roads go to Agra.”
Everybody was shocked at the young man’s audacity.
Akbar kept his anger n check and asked the young man again, “What do you mean?”
The man said once more, “People travel, not roads. Do they?”
The Emperor’s anger vanished on hearing this clever reply.
He laughed and said, “Yes, you are right. Tell me, what is your name?”
The man said, “My name is Mahesh Das, sir! Now tell me about yourself.
Who are you and what is your name?”
Akbar said, “You are talking to Emperor Akbar, the King of Hindustan!
I need fearless and witty people like you in my court.”
He took off his ring, gifted it to the young man and said,
“If you want to be a part of my royal court, come to meet me with this ring
and I will recognise you immediately. Now, show us the way to reach Agra.
All of us are exhausted and need to reach Agra before the sun sets.”

A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep pit. All the other frogs
gathered around the pit. When they saw how deep the pit was, they told the two frogs that they were as good as
dead. The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit with all of their might. The other
frogs kept telling them to stop, that they were as good as dead. Finally, one of the frogs took heed to what the
other frogs were saying and gave up. He fell down and died. The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could.
Once again, the crowd of frogs yelled at him to stop the pain and just die. He jumped even harder and finally made
it out. When he got out, the other frogs said, "Did you not hear us?" The frog explained to them that he was
practically deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the entire time.
The moral of this story: Be careful of what you say.
1. Encouraging words to people who are down can motivate them to achieve their goals.
2. Destructive words to people who are down can have a devastating effect.

He thought of wearing it and slipping into the flock because then, it would be easy to get a prey.
When the wolf got into the flock, the shepherd drove it to the village.
Reaching there he enclosed it in the pen and shut the door immediately.
Just then his wife came there and said, "Today I have nothing to cook for dinner. So, kill one sheep for me."
The shepherd went into the pen and looked for a meaty sheep.
Mistaking the disguised wolf for a sheep, he killed him with an axe.
The wickedness is its own punishment.
The wolf wanted a sheep as his prey but himself became the food of the shepherd.

 Read out this poem loud with correct pronunciation :
Books are zoos that make a home

Books are ships that sail the seas For birds and beasts not free to
To lands of snow or jungle trees roam
And I'm the captain bold and free And I'm the keeper of the zoo
Who will decide which place we'll I choose the things to show to you
see I choose the things to show to you
Come let us sail the magic ship Come, let us visit in a zoo
Books are gardens, fairies, elves
Books are trains in many lands
Cowboys and people like ourselves
Crossing hills or desert sands And I can find with one good look
And I'm the engineer who guides Just what I want inside a book
The train on its exciting rides. Come, let us read! For reading's fun!
Come, let us ride the magic train
