(ii) What changes were seen in the shepherd after he became the governor of a small province?

(iv) The monkey was happy living in fruit tree, but his happiness was not complete. What did he miss?

(v) Who would you recommend to a patient in your neighbourhood - The physicians contacted first or the specialist contacted next? Give reason for your choice.

Answer:

(i) The mother bird and two baby birds met with a misfortune. There was a big storm, with thunder and lightening and rain. The wind blew down many trees. The tree in which the birds lived was also uprooted. The mother bird died and the baby birds were separated from each other.

(ii) There was no change in the shepherd's behaviour even after he became the governor of a small province. He was still as humble as ever.

(iii) Swami Haridas called Tansen talented because he could imitate calls of birds and animals.

(iv) The monkey was happy in the fruit tree, but he was all alone. He had no friend to share his food and thoughts.

(v) I would always recommend a specialist rather than a physician to a patient in my neighbourhood. The reason being that the physician though may treat any disease but they do not touch the root cause of the disease and the patient may get relapsed. But the specialist may after all tests and checkups would treat the patient well.
