The Boy Who Never Told a Lie

Once there was a little boy,


With curly hair and pleasant eye –
A boy who always told the truth,
And never, never told a lie.

And when he trotted off to school,


The children all about would cry,
‘There goes the curly-headed boy –
The boy that never tells a lie.’

And everybody loved him so,


Because he always told the truth,
That every day, as he grew up,
It was said, ‘There goes the honest youth.’
And when the people that stood near
Would turn to ask the reason why,
The answer would be always this:
Because he never tells a lie.

With trees on either hand.

Green leaves a-floating,


Castles of the foam,
Boats of mine a-boating –­
Where will all come home?

On goes the river,


And out past the mill,
Away down the valley,
Away down the hill.

Away down the river,


A hundred miles or more,
Other little children
Shall bring my boats ashore.

The Rainbow

Boats sail on the rivers,


And ships sail on the seas;
But clouds that sail across the sky
Are prettier than these.

But the bow that bridges heaven,
And overtops the trees,
And builds a road from earth to sky,
Is prettier far than these.

Evening
The day is past, the sun is set,
And the white stars are in the sky;
While the long grass with dew is wet,
And through the air the bats now fly.

The lambs have now lain down to sleep,


The birds have long since sought their nests;
The air is still; and dark, and deep
On the hill side the old wood rests.

Yet of the dark I have no fear,


But feel as safe as when ’tis light;
For I know God is with me there,
And He will guard me through the night.

For God is by me when I pray,


And when I close mine eyes to sleep,
I know that He will with me stay,
And will all night watch by me keep.

For He who rules the stars and sea,


Who makes the grass and trees to grow.
Will look on a poor child like me,
When on my knees I to Him bow.

He holds all things in His right hand,


The rich, the poor, the great, the small;
Bed in Summer

When we sleep, or sit, or stand,


He is with us, for He loves us all.

‘I want a cow,’ said Birbal.
Akbar ordered a cow to be brought to the palace.
‘I want its milk. I want its milk,’ said Birbal, in the voice of a small child.
‘Milk the cow and give to him,’ said Emperor Akbar to his servants.
The cow was milked and the milk was offered to Birbal. He drank a little and then

Read the story carefully and answer the questions that follow.

A hare was very popular with the other animals in the jungle who all claimed to be
her friends. One day, she heard the wolves following her. She hoped to escape them
with the help of her friends. So, she went to the horse and asked him to carry her
away from the wolves on his back. But he said that he could not help her as he had
important work to do for his master.
She then went to the bull. She hoped that he would attack the wolves with his
horns. The bull replied: ‘I am very sorry, but I have some important work to do.
I am sure that our friend the goat will do what you want.’ The goat, however,
feared that her back might get hurt if she carried the hare. She asked the hare to go
to the ram.
So she went to the ram and told him the case. The ram replied: ‘Sorry, my dear
friend. I have to take care of my own life as wolves eat sheep as well as hares.’ The
hare then went to the calf. He said that he was unable to help her. He did not like
to take the responsibility as so many older friends who were stronger had refused to
help the hare. By this time the wolves were quite near. The hare quickly ran away
and luckily escaped.

A. Write T (true) or F (false) in the boxes.

1. The hare was popular with her friends.

Read the following poem carefully and answer the questions given.

My Treasures

These nuts, that I keep in the back of the nest


Where all my lead soldiers are lying at rest,
Were gathered in autumn by nursie and me
In a wood with a well by the side of the sea.

This whistle we made (and how clearly it sounds!)


By the side of a field at the end of the grounds.
Of a branch of a plane, with a knife of my own,
It was nursie who made it, and nursie alone!

The stone, with the white and the yellow and grey,
We discovered I cannot tell how far away;
And I carried it back although weary and cold,
For though father denies it, I’m sure it is gold.

But of all my treasures the last is the king.


For there’s very few children possess such a thing;
And that is a chisel, both handle and blade,
Which a man who was really a carpenter made.
Robert Louis Stevenson

Once there was a man named Gopu who was travelling through a forest with his
friend. He had seven slices of bread with him. Suddenly, they heard strange sounds
from the forest. Gopu’s friend ran away but Gopu kept sitting under a tree. Seven
little fairies lived on that tree.
Gopu waited for his friend. He shouted, ‘Come back! There is nothing to fear!’ He
was feeling hungry. He shouted, ‘I am going to eat the seven of them.’
The fairies thought that Gopu was going to eat them. They flew down from the
tree and said, ‘Please don’t eat us. We will give you a magic bag. When you finish
eating the seven slices of bread, you will find seven more in the bag.’
Gopu took the bag and went home happily. The greedy man thought that he made
a mistake by saying, ‘I am going to eat the seven of them.’ He decided to go under
the same tree and say, ‘I am going to eat the twenty of them.’ He again stood under
the tree and said the words. The fairies quickly changed the seven slices of bread
into big stones. The fairies did not fly down this time and Gopu got stones in place
of bread.

candies. But his grandmother always said, ‘No, I can’t. I’ll give you one candy each

One day, the grandmother went out for weekly shopping and the boy wanted
to eat another candy. He climbed on a chair to take down the jar from the shelf
with difficulty and put his hand in it after opening the lid. Since he wanted to eat
all the candies, he grasped them greedily. But he got into trouble as he couldn’t
get his hand out of the jar because the mouth of the jar was too narrow. Soon his

I don’t eat other animals.’ However, he decided to see what happens and went

of the sheep. Without saying a word, he quietly left the place. The lion asked why

Worksheet 71
Read the following story and answer the questions that follow.

A long time ago, in the depth of the ocean there lived a young sea turtle. His
neighbour was a big sea snail. Both of them were quite the opposite but they had
one thing in common – they were both scared of the king of sharks.
One day, when the sea snail was boasting about his shell as usual, along came the
king of sharks. The sea snail didn’t see this because he was looking at his wonderful
shell.
Suddenly, the king of sharks made a loud roar and kicked the sea snail high into the
water.
‘Ahhh!’ screamed the sea snail, ‘help me!’
The sea turtle heard the little cry. He quickly went to help the sea snail who was in
danger.
Just as the king of sharks was about to take a big bite out of the sea snail, the sea
turtle kicked the king of sharks in the nose with his feet. The king of sharks cried
out loud, and then dozed off to sleep, for that is what happens when you kick sharks
in the nose.
‘You saved me! But my shell has become flat when the king of sharks kicked me!
Here you can have it! I don’t want it anymore! I can get a new one,’ said the sea
snail gratefully.
‘Thanks,’ the sea turtle said excitedly.
From that day on, the sea turtle always had his beautiful shell. He was impressed
about it but never boasted. That’s how the sea turtle got its shell.
