Primary School Level

Points: His appearance and nature - his duties - how he spends his day - home and rest.

Madan is our school peon. He is tall, dark and quite good-looking. He has a very fine voice. He is honest and hard-working. Once Madan found a purse full of money. It belonged to one of the teachers. Madan handed over the purse to our Principal. Our Principal was so happy with him that he praised Madan openly at our school assembly. All of us clapped for him. Madan is never seen sitting idle. He is always doing something. He is humble, obedient and respectful to his superiors. He does his work willingly,                       

Smartly dressed in his khaki uniform, Madan comes to school an hour before school begins. He opens the school, He manages the class rooms, office rooms an cleaned as well the benches desks and chair tables. Then he sits on a stool outside the Principal's office. He rings the bell when it is time for our classes to begin. He carries about notices from one class to another. He also runs errands for the Principal. When school is over he has to lock up the place. He hands over the keys and returns home.

He has a wash and enjoys a hot cup of tea. He laughs and chats with his wife and children. He has his supper and enjoys his night's rest. We all like Madan because he gives his service with a smile.

Difficult Words: Sitting idly - sitting and wasting time. Run errands - goes about doing outdoor work.
