We’ll all join in a circle,

And sing a song or two.

Then walk on and shake hands with the next child.
Stop when you come back to your first partner.
Give each other a high-five.

Maya’s 1. Listen and read with me.
Dream Ç¡¼È ¼ _¼¼ªÈ7xÈŃ}¼}Ö
Maya the milkmaid was carrying

a pot of milk on her head.
The milk was fresh and creamy.
Maya began to dream.
‘There’s so much milk in the pot.

It’s rich and creamy.
I’ll make nice, thick dahi
with this milk.
Then I’ll churn it and make butter.
I’ll take the butter to the market.
Many people will come to buy
the soft and tasty butter.
I will sell it at a good price.
I will get a lot of money.

What shall I do with the money ?
I know what I will do.
I will buy big golden earrings.
They will be much better than Meera’s earrings.
She is always showing them off.
But now, Meera, just you wait !
I will wear them and walk past her like this.’
UNIT 4 51
Maya began to walk with
her head held high.
She moved her head slowly
from side to side.
The milk in her pot
rolled gently.
Maya went on dreaming -
‘When Meera sees

my rings,
she will get a surprise.
She will say,
“Oh, what lovely rings !
Wait, Maya, wait !
I want to see your rings !”
But will I wait ? Oh, no !
Why should I ? Does she ever wait for me ?
No.
I will just toss my head like this -’
Maya tossed her head (with a jerk).
And what’s this ?

Away flew the pot of milk.
Out spilled the milk !
No milk - no dahi - no butter -

no earrings !
Maya lost her earrings
even before she bought them.

Fish
Malhar was a fisherman. He lived

with his wife in a little hut near the sea.
He went down to the sea every day to
catch fish.
One day, a strange thing happened.
He caught a big golden fish in his net.
When Malhar took the fish out of water,
the fish began to speak.
“O fisherman, please let me go.”

Malhar was very surprised. He
was a kind man. He let the fish go.
Malhar went home empty-handed.

He told his wife about the fish. His
wife was not very kind.
“Foolish man ! Why did you let the fish go ?

Go back to the sea and call the fish. It must be
a magic fish. Ask the fish to grant you a wish.”
So Malhar went back to the sea and

called the fish.
“O fish, please grant me a wish.”
The fish popped up its head out of the
blue sea and said,
“What is your wish ?”
UNIT 5 67
“I want a big house with a garden
for my wife.”
“Go back home. Your wish is
granted.”
Malhar went back home. In place
of his little hut, he saw a big house
with a garden. “What a beautiful
house !” he said.
Some days passed. Malhar’s

wife said to him, “This house is not
enough. I want to live in a castle. I
want to be a queen.”
So Malhar went back to the sea
and called the fish.
“O fish, please grant me a wish.”
There were big waves in the sea. The fish came

and asked,
“What is your wish ?”
“My wife wants to be a queen.”
“Go back home. Your wish is granted.”
Malhar went back home. In

place of the big house, he saw
a castle. The castle had many
buildings and towers. There
were many gardens around the
castle.
“What a beautiful castle !”
said Malhar.
68 UNIT 5
In the castle, his wife sat on
a throne of gold and diamonds. She
wore a crown.
“Are you happy, now ? ” asked
Malhar.
“We shall see,” said his wife.
Some days passed. Malhar’s wife

called him, “This is not enough for
me. Now I want to be a goddess.”
“What are you asking for, wife ?
It is not right.” said Malhar. But his
wife became angry.
“Go to the fish at once !” she
ordered.
Malhar went back to the sea and

called the fish, “O fish, please grant
me one more wish.”
When the fish came, there was
a storm in the sea. The fish looked
very very cross.
“What is it, now ?”
“My wife wants to be a goddess,”
said Malhar in a small voice.
“Go back home !” the fish said. His voice was like thunder,
“And don’t come again.”
Malhar went back home. In place

of the big castle, he saw his little hut.
His wife had to live in the little hut
once again.

What is there under the sea ?
The sea is very deep. There are

many plants and animals in the sea.
Some of them are very small. We
cannot see them with our eyes.
There are fishes, turtles and many
strange and beautiful animals in the
sea. The largest of all animals is the
blue whale. It lives in the sea.
There are many different

types of plants in the sea.
In some places, there are so
many that it is like an under-
water forest.
72 UNIT 5 UNIT 5
A very big sea is called
an ocean. If we go deep
down in the ocean, there
is no sunlight. It is dark
and quiet.
The bottom of the ocean is known as ‘ocean floor’.

The ocean floor is not flat. Just as we see mountains
and valleys and plains on land, there are mountains
and plains and also deep trenches in the ocean floor.
When the top of such a mountain rises out of ocean
water, it forms an island. You can see these things in
the picture below.

Story
Once there was a king.

He loved stories.
“Tell me a story !” he said all the time.
At the end of the story, he said,

“And then ? What happened next ?”
“Nothing. This is the end,”

said the story-teller.
“Tell me a story that has no end.

I want a never-ending story.”
The story-teller thought and thought.

All his stories had an end.
He could not think of a never-ending story.

Then he had a bright idea.
He began to tell a new story.
“Once there was a king.
He lived in a big palace.
The palace had a big kitchen and a big storehouse.
There were big heaps of grain in the storehouse.
There was a hole in the wall of the storehouse.
82 UNIT 6
A little sparrow saw the hole,
and swiftly flew inside the storehouse.
Then she picked a grain and flew away.”
“What happened next ?” said the king.
“Then another sparrow saw the hole,
flew in, picked a grain and flew away.”
“Oh, and then ?
What happened next ?”
“Then a third sparrow saw the hole,

flew in, picked a grain and flew away.”
“And then ?”
“Then a fourth sparrow saw the hole....”
The story went on and on like this.
Even now, the story-teller is telling the king
this story about the grains and the sparrows.
If you don’t believe me, you can go there and
see for yourself.
