Once, a hunter lived a village. He used to boast of his brave hunting trips to the villagers.

The
villagers respected him a lot. He mostly told everyone how he had fought a lion bare-handed.
He said that the tiny animals used to get scared even at the sight of him.
One day, the hunter was passing through a forest. He met a woodcutter from the same village.
The boastful hunter approached him and said, “How are you? it’s a fine day, isn’t it?”
“Yes, yes, indeed!” the woodcutter replied.
“Well, can you tell me if you have seen some footprints of the lion nearby? it’s been months
since i defeated any.”
The woodcutter knew that the hunter only boasted, so he said, “Yes, a lion is in a nearby den.
Can i take you there?”
The scared hunter said, “No … No … i only just wanted to see his footprints.”
Finally, the boastful hunter ran away from the spot.

3. Once upon a time two brothers who lived on adjoining farms fell into conflict. They had
been sharing machinery, trading a labour and goods as needed without a hitch. Then the long
collaboration fell apart. It began with a small misunderstanding and it grew into a major
difference which exploded into an exchange of bitter word followed by week of silence.
One morning there was a knock on the elder brother’s door. He opened it to find a man with a
carpenter’s tool box. “i am looking for a few small jobs here and there. Could i help you?”
“Yes1″ said the elder brother. ” i do have a job for you. Look across the creek at that farm!
That’s my neighbour in fact, it’s my younger brother and we don’t get along. Last week he
dug a wider passage for water into his farm. But he ended up creating a very wide creek in
between our farms and i am sure he did it just to annoy me. I want you to build me something
so that we don’t have stand and see each other’s face from across.”
The carpenter said, “i think i understand the situation. i will be able to do a job that will
please you.” The elder brother had to go to town for supplies, so he helped the carpenter get
the materials ready and then he was off for the day. The carpenter worked hard all that day
measuring, sawing, nailing.
At sunset when the elder brother returned, the carpenter had just finished his job. The elder
brother’s eyes opened wide and his jay dropped. It was not what he had even thought of or
imagined. It was a bridge stretching from one side of the creek to the other! A fine piece of
work, beautiful handrails. To his surprise, his younger brother across the creek was coming to
meet him with a big smile and arms wide open to hug him.
“You are really kind and humble, my brother! After all i have done and said to you, you still
show that blood relations can never be broken! i am truly sorry for my behaviour,” the
younger brother said as he hugged his elder brother”

At last one of the frogs, the oldest and bravest, put his head out of the water, and said ” Oh,

A cactus (plural: cacti) is any member of the plant family Cactaceae, native to the Americas.
They are often used as ornamental plants, but some are also crop plants. Cacti are grown for
protection of property from wild animals, as well as many other uses.
Cacti are part of the plant order Caryophyllales, which also include members like beets,
gypsophila, spinach, amaranth, tumbleweeds, carnations, rhubarb, buckwheat, plumbago,
bougainvillea, chickweed and knotgrass.
Cacti are unusual and distinctive plants, which are adapted to extremely arid and hot
environments, showing a wide range of anatomical and physiological features which
conserve water. Their stems have adapted to become photosynthetic and succulent, while the
leaves have become the spines for which cacti are well known.
Cacti come in a wide range of shapes and sizes. The tallest is Pachycereus pringlei, with a
maximum recorded height of 19.2 m, and the smallest is Blossfeldia liliputana, only about 1
cm in diameter at maturity. Cactus flowers are large, and like the spines and branches arise
from areoles. Many cactus species are night blooming, as they are pollinated by nocturnal
insects or small animals, principally moths and bats. Cacti range in size from small and
globular to tall and columnar.

Snakes are reptiles (cold-blooded creatures). They belong to the same group as lizards (the
scaled group, Squamata) but from a sub-group of their own (Serpentes).
Snakes have two legs but a long time ago they had claws to help them slither along. Snakes
are not slimy. They are covered in scales which are just bumps on the skin. Their skin is hard
and glossy to reduce friction as the snake slithers along the ground.
Snakes often sun bathe on rocks in the warm weather. This is because snakes are cold-
blooded; they need the sun’s warmth to heat their bodies up.
Most snakes live in the country. Some types of snakes live in trees, some live in water, but
most live on the ground in deserted rabbit burrows, in thick, long grass and in old logs.
A snake’s diet usually consists of frogs, lizards, mice and other snakes. The Anaconda can eat
small crocodiles and even bears. Many snakes protect themselves with their fangs. Some
snakes are protected by scaring their enemies away like the Cobra. The flying snakes glide
away from danger. Their ribs spread apart and the skin stretches out. Its technique is just like
the sugar gliders.
