 Lost Diamond
One day, Mum and Dad were carting
water from the windmill to the water tanks
next to our house. It was about one
kilometre across sand tracks and they
had to make about ten trips. They carted
the water in a smaller tank that Dad put
on the back of our really old rusty truck.
Mum drove the truck and Dad used a
small motor and transferred the water in
and out of the tanks. It had been a long,
hot summer and we had consumed all
the rainwater we had collected during winter. They had just finished their last
run and Dad was removing the tank from the truck when Mum let out a terrible
scream. We all raced over and saw that she was standing, staring at her hand,
unable to move. Her face was white with shock and she couldn’t speak.
‘Julia, what’s wrong, what’s wrong?’ Dad asked.
Mum just pointed to the ring on her finger. It was the engagement ring Dad had
given her many years ago, before they had left Ireland. It was her pride and joy.
There was now a black hole where the diamond should have been. Mum just
sobbed and sobbed.
‘We’ll just have to locate it,’ said Dad. ‘Come on kids.’ And he marched off to
the shed and told us to start sifting the sand. We all worked frantically for a
couple of hours, looking very carefully for something glinting in the mesh. But
the sun was going down and Dad said we would have to stop and resume in the
morning.
Mum said she had parked the truck in the shed and walked away so sadly. Four
or five minutes later she came racing back with a smile from ear to ear. She’d
found it. We couldn’t believe it but she took us back to the shed to show us.
We gathered around her as she explained what had happened. She had been
driving the old truck with its rusted-out floor, when she noticed a reflection on a
bit of metal jutting out across a huge hole. She was curious and leant over to
see what it was. To her amazement, there was her diamond, as she said,
‘winking at her’. The sun was very low and must have been at just the right angle
to hit the diamond.

3
Dad said it was a miracle that it hadn’t been dislodged by the bumps along the
rough sand track and that it had fallen the right way up on the piece of rusty
metal. He added that if he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he never would have
believed it.

 The Strange Birthday Party
Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions that follow.

One dark night in the middle of winter, a strange

thing happened. While searching for insects,
Stan, a spider, came across a large hole near the
wooden bridge where he lived. He was curious
and decided to enter the hole and take a look
inside.

Carefully, Stan tiptoed on all his eight legs

through a maze of tunnels. It seemed to him that he had been walking for a very
long time before he finally stumbled into a large room at the end of a tunnel. To
his surprise, he saw six mice sitting around a table. They were singing loudly.
In the middle of the table, which was actually a small fruit crate, was a cake
made of cream cheese, seeds and strawberries. There was a candle on top of
the cake. The cake was also decorated with tiny pieces of fruit and toffee. There
were other goodies piled up on leaf-plates and tiny seedpods filled with nectar.
The mice were obviously celebrating a birthday!

8
Stan quickly hid behind a partly eaten apple. He watched as one little mouse
climbed onto the table and began to blow out the candle with a large puff. The
other mice all cheered, then began to nibble at the edges of the cake. Stan’s
mouth began to water. He had never eaten any of those
things before, but they looked delicious.

“Maybe I should introduce myself,” he thought. “It would

be nice to have some new friends.’’ Then another
thought popped into his head. “I don’t really know much
about mice. What if mice like spider-pie for tea!”

When the feast was over and the room became dark,
Stan quietly tiptoed back to his home and his spider friends.

Q1. Why did Stan enter the hole near the bridge?

 The Hermit
In a dense forest in Australia, an old man
named Billy lived in a small old hut. Billy was a
woodcutter and each Tuesday, he would travel
by horse and cart to a nearby town to sell his
timber.

People thought that Billy was almost a hermit,

as he lived on his own, was extremely shy and
hardly had any visitors. However, on his way to
the town, he always stopped his horse and
wooden cart near a stream and limped across
the small bridge over it. From there, it was only
a short walk along a stony path to a tumbledown house. This was the home of
his one and only friend, Tommy.

Tommy kept goats and bees to sell their milk and honey. Whenever Billy arrived,
welcoming smoke from the chimney greeted him – Tommy’s kettle was boiling
the water for the tea they would have. The two old men would then sit on rickety
chairs in the garden, munching cheese sandwiches, sipping tea and talking
about old times. Then Billy would continue his journey to town contentedly.

One August day, just after a dreadful storm, Billy tottered up the garden path to
find a smokeless chimney. Where could Tommy be? He was always at home
on Tuesdays. Something must have happened to him. Billy searched the house
frantically, but Tommy was nowhere in sight. He stumbled into the garden again
and called loudly. He was answered by a faint sound from the backyard.

12
Billy limped hurriedly in the direction of the sound. He saw that poor Tommy was
soaking wet, very cold and pinned to the ground near the back gate by a heavy
branch. It took Billy just five minutes to lift the branch off and to check Tommy’s
legs for broken bones.

“The only thing injured is my pride!” cried Tommy with relief. “It wasn’t an
enormous branch, but it sure was heavy. I used to be so strong. And look at me
now – well, I just couldn’t lift it off!”

“I think I’ll call in more often,” Billy said. “After all, friendship is more important
than physical strength!” Tommy grinned.

The King of the Forest

Deep in the forest, all the animals

gathered to decide who should be
the king of the forest. Every animal
in the forest wanted to be the new
king. A meeting was held to
discuss who could be the new king
of the forest. First, a tiger stood up
and said, “I am the most powerful
and strongest animal in the forest, so I should be the new king.”

The giraffe disagreed and said, “I should be the king because

As the giraffe ended its speech, a parrot shook its head and said,

the king because
______________________________________________________________

_____________________________________________________________.”

“No!” A voice came from the distance. A fox appeared before the animals. He
said slowly, “I should be the king because

_____________________________________________________________.”

At this moment, a peacock spread his colourful feathers dazzling all the
animals. He spoke softly but proudly, “I should be the king because
______________________________________________________________

_____________________________________________________________.”

An old lion jumped down from the rock and shouted, “I don’t agree with all of
you! I should be king because

Without waiting for the lion to finish his words, the lion cub, the

son of the old lion, interrupted and said “I should be king because

All the animals began to argue and fight. After three days, none of the animals
managed to persuade the others that he should be the new king.

 INFORMATION WEATHER

Rainbows
Sometimes it rains even though the sun is shining. Raindrops split sunlight into
different colours. When this happens you might see a rainbow. From the
ground it usually looks like an arch, but from an aircraft it maybe a circle.

Make a rainbow
You can make your own rainbow even when it is not raining, as long as the
sun is shining. You will need plastic bags or bowl; a piece of paper and a
mirror.
1. Put the tray of water in a sunny place, such as on a window sill or outside.
2. Stand the mirror in the tray so the sun can shine through the water onto the
mirror.
3. Hold the paper above the tray. Tilt the mirror until you see a rainbow on the
paper.
COLOURS
 Most people can detect more than 10 million different shades of different
colours.
 Some people are “colour-blind”. They can see some colours but find it
hard to tell the difference between red and green.
 Many animals see only in shades of grey, not in colour.
 Scientists think it’s impossible for anything in the universe to travel faster
than light.
