The Balloon Man by Rose Fyleman
He always comes on market days

And holds balloons a lovely bunch
And in the market square he stays,
And never seems to think of lunch.

And when it is a sunny day
The carts and people get between
You see them shining far way.

come out and lie on the beach. The sand is white, soft, and shiny. When there are lots
of people on the beach, children laughing and running, and the birds crying, but it is a
pleasant noise. I like the beach because it smells good. The smell is salty, and you can
often smell the snacks the vendors are making and selling. but I feel relaxed and happy.

Activity 32 Summarising
Activity 32.1 Read the texts given and summarise
A. Once Emperor Akbar fell ill. Though the illness was not very serious, it prevented
the Emperor from sleeping till the early hours of the morning. The royal physicians
tried various medicines, but without any effect.
In the end, a hakim suggested that the Emperor should hear a story before retiring
to bed every night, so that his mind might remain cheerful and enable him to sleep
peacefully.
“It seems a good suggestion,” said the Emperor, “But how shall I get a man who
will tell me a story every night?” “That’s easy,” remarked the hakim. “You have
in your durbar a number of courtiers, Huzoor. You could certainly ask each one of
them to tell you a story every night.”
Now, it became a real problem for the durbaris to tell a tale to their Master every
night. For, though they managed to tell a story, as the emperor would not sleep, the
minister had to add on another tale to the first and go on with it. And this went on
till, not the listener, but the storyteller began to feel sleepy!

B. As daylight can be seen through even the smallest of holes, little things illuminate
a person’s character. Indeed, character consists of little acts, well and honourably
performed in our daily life. One of the most marked tests of our character is the
manner in which we conduct ourselves towards others. A graceful behaviour
towards superiors, inferiors and equals alike is the constant source of pleasure. It
pleases others because it indicates respect for their personality; but it gives tenfold
pleasures to us. Every man may, to a great extent, be a self-educator in good
behaviour, just as in everything else. He can be civil and kind, if he wills, though
he may not have a coin in his purse. Even a kind look will give pleasure and confer
happiness. Gentleness in society is like a silent influence of light which gives colour
to all nature. It is more powerful than loudness of force, and for more beautiful.

or a bicycle. Even I just thought he lost a cricket match or had a fight with a friend. Not
for once did we think something was really wrong. Something must have happened at
home or school. Physical and emotional neglect, bullying, exploitation or forced crimes.

A.
Beyond the East the sunrise, beyond the West the sea,
And East and West the wander-thirst that will not let me be;
It works in me like madness, dear, to bid me say good-bye;
For the seas call, and the stars call, and oh! the call of the sky!
I know not where the white road runs, nor what the blue hills are;
But a man can have the sun for a friend, and for his guide a star;
And there’s no end of voyaging when once the voice is heard,
For the rivers call, and the road calls, and oh! the call of the bird!
Yonder the long horizon lies, and there by night and day
The old ships draw to home again, the young ships sail away;
And come I may, but go I must, and if men ask you why,
You may put the blame on the stars and the sun and the white road and the sky.
- Gerald Gould

Oh, the sunshine told the bluebird,

And the bluebird told the brook,
That the dandelions were peeping
From the woodland’s sheltered nook.
Then, the brook was blithe and happy,

And it babbled all the way,
As it ran to tell the river
Of the coming of glorious May.
99
Soon, the river told the meadow,
And the meadow told the bee,
That the tender buds were swelling
On the old chestnut tree.
And the bee shook off its sleep,

And spread each yellow wing,
As it flew to tell the flowers
Of the coming of Spring.

The express train comes down the hill
When my little village is asleep still.
It brings the mail for our father from the mill
And flowers and vegetables for those living down the hill.
It steams as it comes in
And blows its horn for station master Bin.
He comes out of his room with a grin
Amidst all the din.
From my window I see it puff
As our sleepy villagers wake up to collect their stuff.

It was already quite late when they set out for the next city, which was about fifteen
kilometres away on the other side of the hills. They felt sure that they would find food and
a hotel for the night there. It became dark soon after they left the town, but luckily, they
did not meet anyone as they drove fast along the wide road that led to the hills. As they
drove, it became cold and began to rain, making it difficult to see the road ahead. They
slowed down but continued on their journey.
After they had travelled for about fifteen kilometres, they still had not seen the city
which was on the map. They were beginning to get worried. Then, suddenly, without any
warning, the car stopped. They found out that the car had run out of petrol. Although they
had a little food, only some bread and biscuits, they decided to sleep in the car that night
and locate the city the next day.

Once there was an old woman who lived in a bottle. She had a table and a chair and cat.
One day, the old woman and her cat were very sad. A fairy appeared before her. “What’s
the matter?” asked the fairy. “I don’t want to live in a bottle,” said the old woman. “I want
to live in a house. The fairy said, “Stand up, close your eyes, turn around three times and
open your eyes.” The old woman stood up, closed her eyes, turned around three times,
and opened her eyes. She was in a house. It had a chimney, a roof, two windows and a
door. The old woman and the cat were happy.
But soon, the old woman was very sad again. The fairy came again. “What’s the matter
now?” asked the fairy. “I don’t want to live in a house,” said the old woman. “I want to
live in a castle.” The fairy said, “Stand up, close your eyes, turn around three times and
open your eyes.” So, the old woman stood up, closed her eyes, turned around three times,
and opened her eyes. She was in a castle. It had a big tower with a flag on top. There were
many rooms and windows. The old woman and the cat were very happy.
Soon, the old woman was sad again. The fairy came again. “What’s the matter now?”
asked the fairy. “I don’t want to live in a castle,” said the old woman. “I want to live in
a palace.” The fairy said, “Stand up, close your eyes, turn around three times, and open
your eyes.” So, the old woman stood up, closed her eyes, turned around three times, and
opened her eyes.
But the old woman was not in palace. She was not in a castle either. Nor was she in a
house. She was back in her bottle again.

Activity 47.2 Read the stories aloud.
The Frog and the Hare
Once upon a time, a big green frog fell into a deep hole. It tried to jump out but could
not reach the top. It stopped trying and began to shout for help. A hare was playing in
the tall grass nearby. He heard the cry and went near the deep hole. “I can’t get out of
this hole,” croaked the frog. “I can’t jump very high.” “Wait a minute,” said the hare.
“I know where I can find a ladder. I’ll go and bring it. Then you can use the ladder and
get out.” “Thank you,” croaked the frog. “I’ll wait.” The hare ran off to fetch a ladder.
When he came back with the ladder, there was the frog sitting outside the hole.
“Oh!” said the hare, “You’ve done it. I thought you couldn’t get out by yourself.” “I
thought So too,” croaked the frog. “But a snake came into the hole, and I just had to
get out. So, I did. “I do not know what I could do, till you I just had to.
The Clever Rat
A rat saw a piece of cake. “I will take it home and eat it tonight,” she thought. Just then,
a cat came by. She jumped and caught the rat by the tail. The clever rat did not cry. She
just smiled at the cat. “It’s too bad that you got me,” said the rat. “But you didn’t get
my cake. That cake looks good. My friends do need food. Now they can eat the cake.”
“No, they can’t. I won’t let them,” said the cat.
The cat let go of the rat’s tail and jumped on the cake. The rat ran away. “Good-bye,
Cat,” said the rat when she was in her hole. “You may eat the cake if you want to. But
you shall not eat me!”
The Swans and the Tortoise
Two swans and a tortoise once lived in the same lake. The three were very good friends.
One day, one of the swans said to the other, “The rains have not come this year. This
year will soon become dry. Shall we go to another lake?” The other swan replied,
125
“Yes, it will be a good plan to leave this place. But first, we’ll tell our good friend the
tortoise.” And the swans told their plan to the tortoise.
The tortoise said, “You have wings and are able to fly away. But what shall I do? Will
you leave me here?” He was very unhappy. The swans thought for a long time, and
then they spoke. “We have a plan,” they said. “Listen to us and we will take you with
us. But please promise to keep your mouth shut all the way. Don’t speak a word. If you
do, you will die.” The tortoise agreed to this plan.
The swans brought a strong stick. “Take the middle of this stick in your mouth,” the
swans said to the tortoise. “We will carry the stick in our beaks, one on each side, and
fly away. But remember not to speak!” The tortoise held the middle of the stick in his
mouth. The swans each took one side. Then they flew away.
After some time, they flew over a big city, and some people saw them. “Oh, look there!
They cried. “Look at the swans and the tortoise! The tortoise has a stick in its mouth,
and the swans are carrying it!” All the boys and girls made a lot of noise. They wanted
to make the swans drop the tortoise. The foolish tortoise wanted to know why there
was so much noise. He forgot his promise. He opened his mouth and said, “What is
that noise?” And down, down, down he fell! The swans were not able to save him.
When he fell to the ground the children picked him up and took him home. The swans
flew on to find another lake.
D. The Arab and His Camel
It was wintertime and the wind was cold. An Arab was crossing the desert on his
camel. At sunset, he got down and put up his tent. The tent was too small for both of
them, so the Arab went in and left the camel outside. The camel stood outside the tent
in the cold for two hours. Then he said to his master, “It’s very cold outside. May I put
my head and neck inside the tent?” The Arab said, “Yes,” and moved to a corner of the
tent. The camel put his head and neck inside the tent.
After a short time, he said to his master, “My head and neck are warm now, but my
front legs are cold. May I put them inside the tent?’ The Arab said, “Yes,” and moved
to another corner of the tent. The camel put his front legs inside the tent.
126
After an hour, the camel said again to his master, “Half my body is inside the tent and
the other half outside. I can’t shut the door and the cold wind is coming into the tent.
Both of us will catch cold. May I come in and close the opening of the tent door?”
The Arab replied, “No, no, you can’t come in. The tent is too small for both of
us. But the camel replied, “Yes, yes, the tent is too small for both of us.” And he
went in anyway and pushed the Arab out of the tent. Then he said to his master, “Oh,
are you going out? Thank you. You’re a kind man. Please close the door. It’s a very
cold night.”
