Answer any four of the following questions:

(a) How did the spirit of the dog help the farmer second time?

(b) Why was the name plate missing at Mr. Gessler's shop?

(c) Does Nishad agree with Maya about Mr. Nath? How does he feel about him?

(d) Why does Mr. Wonka collect items from the oldest things? Do you think this is the right way to begin his invention?

(e) Which challenge of the king did Gopal accept?

(f) How does a butterfly sip nectar from a buttercup?

Answer:

(a) The second time, the spirit asked the old farmer to take the ashes of the mill, which had been burnt by the wicked neighbour, and to sprinkle them on any withered tree. The old man followed the spirit?s instruction and on doing so, the withered tree suddenly sprouted and filled the air with a nice fragrance. On seeing this, the daimio became happy and rewarded the old farmer.

(b) Mr. Gessler had died and the shop had been taken over by another man, so his name plate was removed and was not there anymore.

(c) No, Nishad doesn?t agree with Maya about Mr. Nath. He feels bad for Mr. Nath because he thinks him to be a poor and lonely man. He also feels that he is a generous man because he gives tips to Ramesh regularly. He is determined to find out why he is so thin and lonely.

(d) Mr. Wonka wanted to create a portion that will make people older, so he collected items from the oldest things. This is in fact a foolish way to begin an invention.

(e) Gopal?s cleverness was doubted by the king. The king did not think that Gopal would be able to buy a huge Hilsa-fish and bring it to the palace without anyone asking him about it. The same challenge was accepted by Gopal.

(f) A butterfly is a small beautiful insect in different colours. It has a long and thin body which seems to be very huge because of four coloured wings. It sits on the buttercup with its wings closed. It has a small and thin pipe like mouth which is used to sip the nectar from the buttercup easily.
