(iii) How do we know that Akbar was fond of Tansen? Give two reasons.

(iv) What happens to our body when we sleep?

(v) Why do you think Prem wants to tell the story of reptiles to the people of his village?

Answer:

(i) The farmer brought the baby mongoose into the house because he wanted a companion for his only son.

(ii) Their suspicious movement made Ray think that the visitor was not really a shopper.

(iii) We know that Akbar was fond of Tansen because:

(a) Akbar would call upon Tansen to sing at any time during the day and night.

(b) Quite often he would just walk into Tansen?s house to hear him.

(iv) When we sleep, our body feels relaxed, heart beats become slow, temperature and blood pressure goes down. The activity of the brain also slows down.

(v) At first he did not want to go back to his village to tell the story but in my opinion Prem thinks that if he told the story to the people of his village, they might understand that everyone has a role to play in this world.
