A Dialogue between Two Friends on Good Health

Hitu : Hello, Mitu! How are you?

Mitu : I am not fine. What about you?

Hitu : I am fine. But what happened to you?

Mitu : Nothing serious, but I feel very weak.

Hitu : It seems to me you are very careless about your health. May be you do not take physical
exercise regularly.

Mitu : Yes, you are absolutely right. I am not habituated to take physical exercise.

Hitu : But you should know that physical exercise is very important to keep us fit. Because a sound
mind lives in a sound body.

Mitu : Yes, you are right.

Hitu : If you do not take physical exercise regularly, you cannot keep yourself fit and do anything
properly. Besides, you will become idle.

Mitu : It seems to me you are absolutely correct. Now tell me what I should do.

Hitu : You should take physical exercise regularly. Apart from this, you should have a balanced diet to
keep yourself fit.

Mitu : What do you mean by a balanced diet? Please tell me in detail.

Hitu : A balanced diet means to take regular food containing all the necessary ingredients needed for
health in right proportion.

Mitu : I see, both taking physical exercise and eating a balanced diet regularly are very important for
good health.

Hitu : Exactly! I hope you will follow both of the rules to keep yourself fit.

Mitu : I highly appreciate your wise suggestions. Thank you.

Hitu : You are most welcome.

*Write a story in 150-200 words with the help of the following outline. Give it a suitable
title also. There was a village - A farmer lived with his four sons - all sons were lazy -
always quarreling - worried farmer - calls four sons - gave each a bundle of sticks - teaches
lesson for not quarreling and staying together with unity.

Unity is strength

An old farmer had four sons. But he was not happy with them. They always
quarreled among themselves. He tried to bring them to their senses but failed. One day the farmer
fell ill and felt that his death was knocking at the door. At last he thought of a plan.

He called all his sons and asked them to bring a bundle of sticks. When the bundle was
brought, he asked each of his sons to break the bundle. They tried hard but failed. Then the farmer
asked his sons to unite the bundle and break a stick each one by one. They could break the sticks
easily.
Then the farmer said to them, " You see, my sons, each of you broke one stick easily. But
none of you could break the bundle of sticks. Why couldn't you do it?"

"Because", said the eldest son, "in the bundle the sticks were together."
"That's right", said the father, "You see the strength of unity now. If you remain together, nobody
can break you. You must live together so that no one can harm you."
After this incident they lived together in peace and the farmer was happy.

Moral : Unity is strength / United we stand divided we fall.

Thank You
