“Appa, there’s been a murder in the next town…” she began. “I know, I know. That’s why I
came running”, he said. “Come under the umbrella.” They started walking. Sivagami rarely got a
change to walk like this with her father. When she was little, she often wanted to touch her
father’s rough, hardened palms. His hands were like stone. He would laugh and stretch out his
hands to her. Touch them, he would say. Now her father’s face was tense. But after walking
some distance, the familiar calm look re-appeared. Smiling, he turned to look at her. “Appa....”
she said, softly. “What is it, darling?” he asked. “You know Susai, my school Susai…?” she
started to say, like a question. “What about him?” “Nothing, “she said and inched closer to him.
“You know, they have to walk a long way to church. If you make them a three or four foot-high

you make a Yesu, “Sivagami said, “I made a Virgin Mary when you were a baby. Some people
in the next village asked for it. We have no religion, you see. Mosque, church, temple…. For

V. Precise writing: (1 x 10 = 10)
Write one third of the following passage.
Neglect of small things is the rock on which the great majority of the human race has split.
Human life consists of a succession of small events which are comparatively unimportant and yet
the happiness and success of every man depends upon the manner in which these small events
are dealt with. There are many little things in the household, to which is indispensable to health
and happiness. Cleanliness consists in attending to a number of apparent trifles – the scrubbing
of a floor, the dusting of a chair – but the general result of the whole is an atmosphere of moral
and physical well-being-a condition favourable to the highest growth of human character.
Neglect of little things has ruined many fortunes and marred the best of enterprises. The ship
which bore home the merchant’s treasure was lost because it was allowed to leave the port from
which it sailed with a very little hole in the bottom.
All savings are made up of little things. Many a penny makes a pound. A penny saved is the
seed of pounds saved. And pounds saved mean comfort, plenty, wealth and independence. But
the penny must be earned honestly. It is said that a penny earned honestly is better than a shilling
given.
