FOLKTALE
Once upon a time there lived a ferocious lion
in the forest. It was a greedy lion and started
killing animals in the forest indiscriminately.
Seeing this, the animals gathered and
decided to approach the lion with the offer
of one animal of each species volunteering
to be eaten by the lion everyday. So every
day it was the turn of one of the animals and
in the end came the rabbits’ turn. The rabbits
chose an old rabbit amongst them. The
rabbit was wise and old. It took its own
sweet time to go to the lion.
The lion was getting impatient on not
seeing any animal come by and swore to kill
all the animals the next day.
The rabbit then strode along to the lion by
sunset. The lion was angry with him. The
wise rabbit was calm and slowly told the lion
that it was not his fault. He told the lion that
a group of rabbits were coming to him for
Panchatantra: The
Foolish Lion and
the Clever Rabbit
the day, when on the way, an angry lion
attacked them all and ate all the rabbits but
him. Somehow he escaped to reach safely.
He said that the other lion was challenging
the supremacy of his lordship the lion.
The lion was naturally very enraged and
asked to be taken to the location of the
other lion.
The wise rabbit agreed and led the lion
towards a deep well filled with water. Then
he showed the lion his reflection in the
water of the well.
The lion was furious and started growling
and naturally its image in the water, the
other lion, was also equally angry. Then the
lion jumped into the water at the other lion
to attack it, and so lost his life in the well.
Thus the wise rabbit saved the forest and its
inhabitants from the proud lion.

Pondering Corner
Who is the Easter Bunny?
Easter is a festival celebrated by Christians to comemorate the
ressurection of Jesus Christ. It is a celebration as it marks the
end of a period of penance and fasting - known as 'lent'. Easter
is celebrated on different dates each year, usually ranging from
21st March to 25th April and is dependent on the full moon.
Christians spend Easter at church in prayer and spend time
with their loved ones and share a special meal.
The Easter bunny has many different origin stories. Some
believe that the Easter bunny developed from the German
legend of the Easter Hare - who would decide whether or not
children had been good or bad and accordingly deserved
Easter eggs.
Another story became common in the 19th century. As rabbits
usually give birth to large litters of babies (called kittens), they
became a symbol of life, celebration and fertility. Legend has it
that the Easter bunny lays, decorates and hides eggs as a
symbol of new life.

Science or Myth?

Martin, Eeshan and Nikhil had come to Martin’s farm

house for the weekend.

Looks like it’s about to rain! We are a long way from a

shelter. All I see are cars
parked at a distance.

As the children closed in on the parking area they witnessed lightning strikes
at a distance. Eeshan got alarmed and told his friends to run towards the
nearest car. Seeing Martin run towards his car Eeshan screamed.

Not the convertible! Any hard top car.

The doors of the cars parked inside the estate generally remained
unlocked so they could be moved easily, when necessary. Lightning
struck and the children were saved because they were inside the
car. No one spoke out of shock till the rain
stopped pelting.

That was really close!

Why did you stop me from getting into the convertible?

When lightning strikes

an automobile, it’s actually the car’s metal
exterior frame that protects the passengers,
acting as a conductor and passing the electrical
current right along to the ground. This is the
reason that a convertible can’t protect
you like a hardtop vehicle.
You saved the day again, Einstein! I
know that lightning can strike the
same place again, so we should get
back to a proper shelter.

Who
invented the
camera?
Today, when you snap a picture on your phone
or camera and have it instantly available to
view, it's hard to believe that hundreds of years
of experimenting have gone by just to get you
here. Photography was not invented by a
singular person.
Between the 11th and 16th centuries, the
"camera obscura" was developed and became
common. This allowed the user to show an
image on a piece of paper while the artist
traced it and this technique was used by
famous painters throughout history to make
their paintings realistic. But is didn't really take
a picture.
In 1568, Danielle Barbara fitted a lens on the
camera obscura which allowed sharper images.
In 1802 two scientists, Thomas Wedgwood and

Humphrey Davy recorded images of paintings
for the first time on special contact paper but
were never able to make it permanent. Finally
in 1835, William Talbot made the first positive
image from negatives and made the first per-
manent images.
The first modern cameras were nothing like
what we see today. They were large and clunky
and a lot used silver plates which were sensitive
to light. The invention of these fall on the shoul-
ders of a Frenchman named Louis Daguerre in
1837.
Finally in 1888 the first box camera was put on
the market, and slowly over the years the shape
and form began to evolve.
I was walking home from the park one afternoon,
when I spotted a group of young boys laughing
and teasing a small animal near my house. When
I got close, I realized it was a small rabbit they had
found. It looked distressed and clearly belonged
to someone. I pushed them out of the way and
scooped it up into my arms and rushed home...
