Lesson -1 THE THREE QUESTIONS

Date: --- Leo Tolstoy

I. Vocabulary:

1. councillors - members of the council

2. wood/ woods - a small forest

3. fainted - lost consciousness

4. Break into – to enter somewhere using force

5. break out- to begin suddenly

6. break up – to end a relationship

III. Answer the following questions:

1. Why did the king want to know answers to three questions?

The king wanted to know answers of his three questions because he
wanted to be a successful ruler.

2. Did the wise men win the reward? If not, why not?
No, the wise men didn’t win the reward because their answers were so
different from each other and king was not satisfied with their answers.

3. How did the king and the hermit help the wounded man?
The king washed the wound and covered the wound of the man with his
handkerchief and kept on dressing it until the bleeding stopped completely.
The king also offered the wounded man water to drink. The hermit helped the
king to bring the wounded man inside his hut and allowed the man to spend his
night in the hut.
5. What were the hermit’s answers to the three questions? Write each answer
separately. Which answers do you like the most and why?
The most important time, the hermit said, is our present because it is the
only moment when we have the power to act. The most important person at a
moment is we ourselves because the future is unknown and we don’t know
whether we will meet anyone in the future or not. So, we should listen to
ourselves. The most important business is to be kind and good to others because we have been sent in this
world to serve this noble cause.
I liked the third answer the most because helping someone in need is like serving God. It makes us a good person
and brings a sense of satisfaction and contentment.

Answer: abbacddc

II. Read the extract given below and answer the following questions.

When everybody talks during the lesson,

The rebel doesn’t say a word.

When nobody talks during the lesson,

The rebel creates a disturbance.

a. With reference to the above extract, do you think it is good to be a

rebel?

No, to go against the flow just to show that you are different or
to prove your superiority is wrong. Unnecessarily breaking the rule
unless there is some noble cause is not acceptable.

b. Can there be a good reason behind staying silent when everybody

is talking?
 Yes, sometimes people keep on arguing unnecessarily out of their
ignorance of the entire and actual situation. In such situations, a wise
man would stay silent.

c. Can there be a good reason behind speaking when everybody else is

silent?

Yes, sometimes people do not dare to raise voice against the

wrong happening. But a rebel cannot tolerate unfair things and raises
voice against it. If nobody dares to speak, the once who do wrong are
encouraged to do so ever again.

d. What must be the main motto of a rebel, in your opinion?

Bringing about the change must be the main motto of a rebel.

2. Explain why no one seemed to be interested in talking about the Hilsa
fish which Gopal had bought

No one was interested about the Hilsa fish. Gopal had bought because
of Gopal’s condition. He was wearing rugs, his face was half-shaven and ash
was smeared over his body. People were more interested in his appearance
than the fish.

3. Why did Gopal’s wife find his activities strange?

Gopal had half-shaven his face, smeared ash over himself. Had put on
rags and was looking disgraceful. She asked Gopal the reason for such weird
acts. She stopped him from going out like that but Gopal told her that he
was going to buy Hilsa fish. At last she concluded that Gopal had gone mad.

Poem – 3 The Shed

-----Frank Flynn

Answer the following questions:

1. Who is the speaker in the poem?

The speaker of the poem is the poet.

2. Is she/he afraid or curious, or both?

He is both, afraid as well as curious. He is curious to enter the shed and

at the same time he feels that someone is staring at him.

3. What is she/he planning to do soon?

He is planning to open the door and enter the shed some day soon.
4. “But not just yet…” suggests doubt, fear, hesitation, laziness or
something else. Choose the word which seems right to you. Tell others
why you chose it.

I think “But not just yet…” suggests hesitation. It shows that the
speaker wants to take some more time to be sure of his thoughts about the
shed. He currently fears that someone stares at him and at the same time also
thinks that his brother saying that there’s a ‘ghost’ is just a lie. So, he is
hesitating to take any further step for now.

like his own child. He fed the dog small pieces of fish with their own
chopsticks and offer boiled rice to him as much as he wanted. The second
paragraph says that to provide food to the birds, the old farmer often turned
up the surface of the ground. Both these instances prove that the old man
was a kind person.
2. What did the dog do to lead the farmer to the hidden gold?
The dog came running towards the farmer. It kept his paws against his
legs and with its head it kept on directing towards a spot behind him.
The old man initially ignored the dog, but it kept on whining and
running to and fro until the farmer followed it to the spot.
3. Why did the neighbour kill the dog?
The neighbour killed the dog in anger. They have expected the dog to
help them get a treasure, but the dog had rather taken them to a foul-
smelling dead kitten.
4. Why did the daimio reward the farmer, but punish his neighbour for the
same act?
The farmer had sprinkled the ash over the withered cherry tree and it
blossomed. Daimio was pleased seeing the miracle and he rewarded the
farmer. His neighbour poured the ash over the cherry tree, but nothing
happened to the tree.
Fine particles from the ash entered the eyes of the daimio and his wife.
They began to sneeze and cough.
This spoiled the splendour of the procession and so the neighbour was
punished by man of the landlord.
