1. LESSON - 6 | PAGE - 59 | ACTIVITY - 8 ( a )
Write a story in about eight words using the following hints:
[ A king, proud of his power – tells he can control everything on earth – takes his courtiers to the sea shore – orders the waves to move back – the waves lash at the feet of the king – the king moves back in fear ]
Answer:
False Pride
Once upon a time there was a king he was very proud of his power. He told his courtiers that he could control everything on the earth. They did not believe him. The king was determined to prove his power. He took his courtiers to the sea shore. The waves were rolling one after another along the sea shore. The waves lashed at the feet of the king. The king then ordered the waves to move back but the violent waves paid no head to his command. The king felt afraid of the huge waves. He thought he might get drowned. Therefore he moved back quickly. He realised that he should not be proud of his power because nature is more powerful.
Moral : Pride has a fall

Dear Manas,
I have not received your letter for a long time. Naturally I am very anxious. I hope that you are all quite well by the grace of God. I am also a here.
Anyway, I came to know from your mother's letter that you are very cruel to animals. You get pleasure by hunting cats and Street dogs. You also kill smaller animals like frogs mercilessly. But you know that animals are very agreeable friends. They ask no questions nor pass any criticism. They are all creations of almighty God. You should not be cruel to them if you hurt them you hurt God. You must be kind to them.
No more today. More when we meet in near future. You take my love and give my regards to your parents. Please write a letter to me and let me know how you are.

Dear Aunt,
I have not received your letter for a long time. Naturally I am very anxious. I hope that you are all quite well by the grace of God. I am also a here.
Anyway, you know I like to read adventure stories. Recently I read 'Chander pahar' written by the famous bengali writer Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay. The hero is Shankar, a teenager who want to Africa to earn his living. He began to work there for a railway company. One day he met a Portuguese fortune hunter named Diego Alvarez. The meeting changed the course of Shankar's life. They set off together to look for the 'Chander Pahar' where diamonds were said to be found. But Diego died and Shankar was left alone to fight for his life. He starved and faced many difficult situation courageously before he reached his destination. Finally he returned to India. It is a wonderful thriller and you know adventures are always exciting. So for this reason I like this story.
No more today. More when we meet in near future. You take my love and regard. Please write a letter to me and let me know how you are.

Dear Atul,
I have received your letter just now. It is a beautiful one. I am happy to know that you are all quite well by the grace of God. Don't worry. I am also well here.
You have described how you helped a child who had fallen from bicycle. I felt a similar pleasure recently. I was travelling in a crowded bus. I was fortunate because I managed to get a seat for myself. An old ailing person was also travelling in the same bus. None offered him to seat. I offered the old man my seat. The old man look at me as if I were an angel. I was happy that I helped an old man. It give me a warm feeling. I think that this incident will linger longer in my loving memory.
