II. Reading with Comprehension:
Many years ago a very poor peasant bought a plot of land. One day while he was plowing it, he came upon an iron box that was buried in the soil. When he opened it, he was astonished to discover that it was filled with valuable gemstones and coins made of silver and gold. Since he owned the land where it was found, he could have kept the treasure for himself. But the peasant was a truly honest man. He at once went to the peasant from whom he had bought the land and showed him the treasure. “What is this?” asked the previous owner of the plot. The peasant told him the story of how the treasure was found. But the previous owner refused to accept it, saying, “The treasure would have been mine if I had found it. I think it must have been hidden in the plot by my ancestors. As you have found it, it belongs to you.” Finally, the two men decided to divide the treasure into two equal parts. The peasant and previous owner of the plot would each take half. Those were the days when people were not greedy. 1. What was the hidden treasure that the peasant found? 2. What did the peasant do right after he found the treasure? 3. Why didn’t the previous owner of the land want to take the treasure from the peasant? 4. What lesson does this story teach? 5. Do you think that people today are more greedy or less greedy than the character in this story? Explain your answer.
III. Creative Expression: Write a letter to your friend inviting him/her to your village to spend Dasara holidays. Write about your family and the places where you will take him / her.
IV. Conventions of Writing: Answer any 3 of the following questions. 1. Why did the town mouse want to go to the countryside? 2. How can you say that the town mouse was not comfortable in the country?
