There was an old man who was living in a tiny house and owned a beat up car. He
was living off of $99 social security checks. At 65 years of age, he decided things had to
change. So he thought about what he had to offer. His friends raved about his chicken
recipe. He decided that this was his best shot at making a change.
He left Kentucky and travelled to different states to try to sell his recipe. He told
restaurant owners that he had a mouthwatering chicken recipe. He offered the recipe to
them for free, just asking for a small percentage on the items sold. Sounds like a good
deal, right? Unfortunately, not to most of the restaurants. He heard NO over 1000 times.
Even after all of those rejections, he didn’t give up. He believed his chicken recipe was
something special. He got rejected 1009 times before he heard his first YES.
With that one success Colonel Hartland Sanders changed the way Americans eat
chicken. Kentucky Fried Chicken, popularly known as KFC, was born.
Remember, never give up and always believe in yourself in spite of rejection.

Venice
One of the famous city in Italy is

Venice. It becomes popular because it is rich
and interesting. It has a lot of history
documentations and offers a lot of attractive
things to visitors.
Venice has been established over 2000 years ago when waves of barbarians
drove people out of their homes in various Roman cities. Around years 800-1100 AD,
Venice underwent a period of growth, and became more centralized. It gradually
developed into a city state, which is essentially a self-governed region of a country that
trades freely among others.
As Venice gradually developed, it became a prominent player in the sea trade of
the time. It was set upon by many different threats. Pirates became the hugest problem.
Fewer and fewer shipments were making it through the treacherous water. It happened
when the Republic of Venice decided to move the operations to the eastern shores.
When we think of Venice, the first thing comes to mind are canals. They are
considered as the trademark of the city. Canals are mostly recognizable for providing the
main form of transportation throughout the city. Visiting Venice brings a rich aura of history
and culture. Floating through the canals for an afternoon makes a memorable experience.

Making Candles
Tool and Ingredient :

o wax moulds,
o wick,
o dye discs,
o essential oils,
o and a double boiler.
Steps :
1. Melt the wax. All wax has a flash point, so to prevent it bursting into flames, you
must melt it in a double boiler, with water in the bottom pan.
2. Prepare the mould with the wick. Thread the wick through the mould and make sure
that you leave a good few centimetres sticking out of the hole in the bottom.
3. After that, add the scent. If you want a scented candle, add a few drops of essential
oil
to the melted wax. You can use any essential oil you like, as long as it doesn't
contain water.
4. Next step, pour the wax into the mould. Try and tip the wax into the mould quickly,
all in one go, to minimise spillage and air bubbles.
5. Then, release the bubbles and top it up. Releasing the air bubbles will eventually
make the candle sink, so you will need to top it up with more melted wax.
6. Finally, remove it from the mould. After four or five hours, the candle can be taken
out of its mould.
7. Your candle is now ready for display. Remember, you must always leave it for a day
before lighting

Cappuccino coast is a natural ocean phenomenon. It is extremely rare, because it

doesn’t occur very often. But sometimes, the sea churns out thick brown foam that
resembles cappuccino froth. As cappuccino was brought to its shores by the strongest
storm.
This creamy, fluffy and frothy beach has a mysterious explanation to offer. The
foam gets its brown color from dirt and other impurities like seaweed excretion, fish
remains, and dead ocean plants. This thick foam appears when salt water interacts with
the decomposition products of underwater living creatures. Strong currents mix all of these
impurities, they all are shaken and stirred together, eventually creating bubbles and foam
that are carried off to the shoreline. The more powerful the swirl is, the more foam it
creates. And, that’s how ocean foam is formed. They are quite cool when touched. This is
definitely the place wherein the swimmers can revel in its divine caress.

Many years ago there was a great war between the birds and the land
animals. No-one knows why. It just happened. The creatures with wings flew to
the battle site and made their camp. Those who had legs, walked there. Bat
joined the birds. "Hey, I've got wings. So I must be a bird. And there are more of
us, so we should win!" The first battle was long and hard, but gradually slashing
claws and tearing teeth began to win over beaks and wings. Bat could see that
the birds were losing so he hid behind a bush. When the battle was over the land
animals walked back towards their camp.
The land animals stopped. "What are you doing with us?" shouted
Beaver, slapping the ground hard with his big, flat tail. "You've got wings. You're
with the other side." "Yeah, that's right" growled Bear. "Guys! Guys! Get Real!"
said Bat, pointing into his mouth. "When have you ever seen a bird with teeth? Of
course I'm one of you!"
The next day there was to be another battle and Bat walked to the site
with the land animals. This time the birds were winning. Again Bat hid behind a
bush. When it was all over and the birds started to fly back to their camp, bat
silently joined them.
Eventually the birds and animals got tired of fighting each other. They all
came together while their Chiefs held a council of truce to decide how things
would be settled. It was very difficult for Bat to pretend that he belonged to both
sides. The Chiefs knew what he had done. "Friends should always help each
other and not pretend to be one thing when they are another" they said.
"Bat has wings, but he is not a bird. He has teeth, but he is not a land
animal. From now on, Bat will only fly at night when other birds are asleep and
the land animals are hunting."
All the creatures nodded. "You will always be alone, Bat. You will never
have a friend among the creatures that fly or from those that walk!" And that's
why Bat always flies at night and doesn't have any friends.
46. What is the author’s intention in writing the text?

In 1482, he painted the famous artworks “Madonna on the Rocks” and also
“The Last Supper”, which has been described as one of his greatest religious
paintings. With Christ at the centre of the picture, it embodies great feeling and

It was six in the morning when my mother woke me up to go to market with

her. My eyelids were so heavy that when I opened them to look at her, all I saw
everything blur. I dragged myself from bed and began to change cloth.
We took a short walk to the market. My mother went on and on about what
she was going to buy for the day. That helped wake me up. By the end of that
short walk, I gathered that she was going to cook stew shepherd's pie for the day.
The market was very crowded. I was wearing sneakers. I made it to avoid
the fish stalls that the floors were always muddy and wet. The old chicken seller
was as friendly as usual, greeting my mother with the widest grin. My mother
bargained hard for the best price and they landed on a price they could both
agree after two minutes.
When my mother finished her marketing, we sat down at the food centre for
our breakfast. I looked into the plastic bags and saw that she had some fish in
them too. It is too bad that I seldom pay attention to how my mother chooses the
food that she buys, preferring instead to pay more attention to the people around
me.

on my return. I can imagine everything with only my head above water. No crabs
can compare with me. I am master of the water and lord of this shallow well. Why

A heat wave is a period of excessively hot weather, which may be

definition recommended by the World Meteorological Organization is when the
daily maximum temperature of more than five consecutive days exceeds the
average maximum temperature by 5 °C (9 °F), the normal period being 1961–
1990.
While definitions vary, a heat wave is measured relative to the usual
weather in the area and relative to normal temperatures for the season.
Temperatures that people from a hotter climate consider normal can be termed a
heat wave in a cooler area if they are outside the normal climate pattern for that
area. The worst heat wave in recent history was the European heat wave of
2003.

POINSETTIAS
The poinsettia is native to Mexico. It is found in the wild in deciduous

tropical forest at moderate elevations It is also found in the interior in the hot,
seasonally dry forests. There are over 100 cultivated varieties of poinsettia.
Poinsettias remain one of the most popular holiday flowers. Hybridizers
have expanded the range of colors from the familiar red to pastel yellow and
vibrant bi-colors.
The showy colored parts of Poinsettias that most people think of as the
flowers are actually colored bracts (modified leaves). The yellow flowers, or
cyathia, are in the center of the colorful bracts. The plant drops its bracts and
leaves soon after those flowers shed their pollen. For the longest-lasting
Poinsettias, choose plants with little or no yellow pollen showing,
To keep the poinsettia in bloom as long as possible, maintain a
temperature of 65 - 75 degrees F. during the day. Dropping the temperature to
about 60 degrees F at night will not hurt the plant. However, cold drafts or
allowing the leaves to touch a cold window can injure the leaves and cause
premature leaf drop. If you've ever seen a gangly poinsettia in bloom, with only a
couple of sad looking leaves hanging on, it was probably exposed to
temperatures that were too cool or extreme shifts in temperature.

When I was 8 years old, I used to go for music class two blocks away from
home. Whenever I had to pay fees to the music class, my grandpa would
accompany me so that he could hand over the money safely.
One day my grandpa gave me the fees (100 rupees I guess) and asked me
to take it carefully as he could not come. I was scared that I would lose the
money. I kept it in my notebook. While walking I looked at it every few seconds to
make sure that it was there. To my surprise, when I opened the book half way to
the class, the money wasn't there! I didn't know how I lost it. I came back all the

The Tiger and the Hare
A Tiger named Blind Fury became the king of a forest. He made a law that every
day an animal should appease his hunger by falling a prey to him. At this rate, in
the course of a few months, a great number of animals had been eaten up; the
beasts that remained held a council.
A hare among them, named Tiny Trick, observed, "I have a trick whereby I can
get rid of Blind Fury, if you would let me take my chance with him tomorrow."
They agreed. The usual breakfast hour of Blind Fury was nine; but Tiny Trick
trudged on, and came to him at twelve.
"Hullo! You rude little wretch! what keeps you so long from our presence?" said
Blind Fury.
"May it please your majesty," said Tiny Trick, "in a well by the road I have
travelled there is another king like your majesty. He said I should not go without
appeasing his hunger. It was with difficulty I could obtain permission of him to see
you, your majesty, for a moment and return."
"Lead the way to the well," said Blind Fury.
"Yes, your majesty," said Tiny Trick.
When Blind Fury came to the well he found his own shadow reflected in it, and,
fancying that it was another tiger, a rival, leapt into it and was drowned. The
beasts of the forest praised Tiny Trick as the savior of the state.
It happens that little folks do great things for the public good.
