C. Hi John
I arrived in the USA last Monday. We left X Rome, flew over X and made a quick stop in X London. Then we went
shopping in the Harrods, visited the tower and enjoyed a sunny afternoon in the Hyde Park. On the following day,
we left for X New York. The time on board wasn’t boring as there were two films to watch on the monitor. The
people on the plane were all X Italians. Before we landed at the JFK airport, we saw the Statue of Liberty and the

Yours lovingly

A. An old farmer lived in a village. He had four sons. All of them were lazy and idle. They often quarrelled among
themselves. The old man was very much annoyed. So he called his four sons and told them that since his end
was near, he wanted to teach them a lesson and wanted to give them a useful piece of advice.
He sent them to bring a bundle of sticks. He asked all his sons, one by one to break the bundle of sticks. All tried
hard, but one of them was able to break the bundle.
Then he asked one of them to untie the bundle. This was also done immediately. Then he asked each of them
to break the sticks individually. Now each one succeeded in doing so.
The old farmer then said to them, “If you live together in peace, no one can harm you. But if you are divided, you
will lose.”

G. One day Akbar asked his courtiers, “What is the fastest thing in the world?” One of the courtiers said, “Bullock
cart.” Another said, “Wind”, yet another said, “Light.” Akbar waited for Birbal’s answer and then Birbal spoke,
“Your Majesty! The thoughts in the mind travel the fastest. In a moment you are in this court and in the next
moment, your thoughts will take you somewhere else. So, a thought is the fastest thing in the world.”
Everyone was surprised at Birbal’s answer. Akbar was proud of Birbal’s wisdom and rewarded him suitably.

Grapes are Sour
Once a fox was very hungry as it could not get anything to eat for a long time. It strolled in search of food.
It searched all along the jungle but its efforts were in vain. There was a garden near the forest. It went there in search
of food.
There it saw vine of grapes, ripe grapes, were hanging from a tree. Its mouth began to water. It wanted to eat them. So,
it jumped again and again to reach to them, but all in vain. The grapes were hanging too high for it to get.
At last, it gave up the attempt and went away saying, “The grapes are sour.”

The Proud Red Rose
One beautiful spring day, a red rose blossomed in a forest. Many kinds of trees and plants grew there, as the rose
looked around, a pine tree nearby said, “What a beautiful flower! I wish I was that lovely’’. Another tree said, “Dear Pine,
do not be sad, we cannot have everything.”
The rose turned its head and remarked “It seems that I am the most beautiful plant in this forest.” A sunflower raised its
yellow head and asked, “Why do you say that? In this forest there are many beautiful plants. You are just one of them.”
The red rose replied, “I see everyone looking at me and admiring me.” The rose looked at a cactus and said, “Look at
that ugly plant, full of thorns!” The pine tree said, “Red rose, what kind of talk is this? Who can say what beauty is? You
have thorns too.”
The proud red rose looked angrily at the pine and said, “I thought you had good taste! You do not know what beauty is
at all. You cannot compare my thorns to those of the cactus.”
“What a proud flower,” thought the trees.
The rose tried to move its roots away from the cactus, but it could not move. As the days passed, the red rose would
look at the cactus and say insulting things, like: This plant is useless. How sorry I am to be his neighbour.
The cactus never got upset and he even tried to advise the rose, saying, “God did not create any form of life without a
purpose.”
Spring passed, and the weather became very warm. Life became difficult in the forest, as the plants and animals needed
water due to no rainfall. The red rose began to wilt.
One day the rose saw sparrows stick their beaks into the cactus and fly away, refreshed. This was puzzling, and the
red rose asked the pine tree what the birds were doing. The pine tree explained that the birds got water from the cactus.
“Does it not hurt when they make holes?” asked the rose.
“Yes, but the cactus does not like to see any bird suffer,” replied the pine.
The rose opened its eyes in wonder and said, “The cactus has water!”
“Yes you can also drink from it. The sparrow can bring water to you ask the cactus for help.”
The red rose felt too ashamed of its past words and went to ask for water from the cactus. The cactus kindly agreed
and the birds filled their beaks with water and watered the rose’s roots. Thus the rose learned a lesson that, never to
judge anyone by the appearance.

Helping Others
Once there was a small boy named Ravinder. He belonged to a poor family. One day, he was crossing through a
forest carrying some wood. He saw an old man who was very hungry. Ravinder wanted to give him some food, but he
did not have food even for himself. So he continued on his way. On his way, he saw a deer who was very thirsty. He
wanted to give it some water, but this time he did not have water. So, he went on his way ahead. Then he saw a man
who wanted to make a camp but he did not have wood. Ravinder asked his problem and gave some wood to him. In
return, he gave him some food and water. Then he went back to the old man and gave him some food and gave some
water to the deer. The old man and the deer were very happy. Ravinder then happily went on his way, however, one
day Ravinder fell down the hill. He was in pain but he couldn’t move and no one pulled him up the hill. He had many
wounds on both of his legs. The deer whom Ravinder had given water, saw his wound and quickly went to the old
man. It guided him to Ravinder and then the old man brought some herbs. He applied them on the wounds and after
sometime Ravinder started to feel better.
All were very happy that they were able to help each other.

The Thirsty Crow
It was the summer season. The day was very hot and a crow was very thirsty. The crow flew here and there in search
of water. But it could not find water anywhere.
After some time, the crow came across a pot that was lying under a tree. It looked into it, and found that there was some
water, but at a very low level. It was not possible for it to drink the water with its beak. It was disheartened.
The crow suddenly saw a heap of pebbles which were lying on the ground nearby.
19
65 19
 An idea came to its mind that by dropping the pebbles into the pot, the level of the water could be raised to a high level.
So, he began to drop the pebbles one by one into the pot; and finally, the level of the water was raised and it drank it to
its heart’s content. What an intelligent crow it was!
