science, write about any two leaders from different nations. The following are prompts that can help you:
(a) Their thoughts (b) Their uniqueness (c) Honesty and integrity (d) Confidence and leadership qualities
(e) Inspirational speeches (f) Contributions to free their countries
Answer: (1) Subhash Chandra Bose : As far as the history of India’s Independence struggle against the
British is concerned Subhash Chandra Bose remains a key figure. Bose, also known affectionately as Netaji,
became part of the Indian struggle for Independence when he joined the Civil Disobedience Movement that
was being led by Mahatma Gandhi. Later on, he also became an active member of INC. In 1938 and 1939, he
was also chosen as the party president.
He was held under house arrest by the British because he had been opposing their rule. However, he left the
country secretly in 1941 and travelled westwards through Afghanistan to Europe where he sought assistance
in his struggle against the British from Russians and Germans. He visited Japan in 1943 where the royal
administration said yes to his appeal for help. It was here that he formed the Indian National Army with
Indian war prisoners who had served with the British Indian army.
Apart from the fact that he tried to be different, much like the revolutionary extremist freedom fighters of the
day, and kept up the spirit of fiery leadership in that critical period of India’s history, there are also several
other ways in which he made his own contribution to his motherland’s freedom struggle. The assault by the
INA, no matter how short-lived it was, was an important factor that eventually contributed to the British
decision to stop their operations and shift back to their own land. This in the end did pave the way for India’s
Independence.
Bose advocated complete unconditional Independence for India, whereas All-India Congress Committee
wanted it in phases, through dominion status. He was a militant Nationalist. He supported empowerment of
women, secularism and other liberal ideas. His most famous quote was “Give me blood and I will give you
freedom”.
(2) Kwame NKrumah : He was a Ghanain politician and revolutionary. He was the first Prime Minister and
President of Ghana, having led the Gold Coast to independence from Britain in 1957. An influential advocate
of Pan-Africanism, he was a founding member of the Organisation of African Unity.
After 12 years abroad pursuing higher education, developing his political philosophy and organising with
other Pan-Africanists, he returned to Gold Cost to begin his political career as an advocate of national
independence.
His administration was both nationalist and socialist. Thus, it funded national industrial and energy projects,
developed strong national education systems and promoted a national and Pan-African culture.
He got immersed into the African-American liberation struggle, met Martin Luther King Jr. while in the US.
While studying in Great Britain, he crossed paths with many fellow Africans struggling for Independence,
the likes of Kenya’s Jomo Kenyatta, Ethiopia’s Haile Selassie. His famous remarks were – “We face neither
East nor West: we face forward.” “Revolutions are brought about by men, by men who think as men of
action and act as men of thought.” He played a key role in creating the organisation of African Unity.

Go around your neighbourhood and talk to people, particularly elders, and collect riddles and puzzles in
their languages. • Ask them how and why such riddles could have emerged. • Collect at least 10–15 riddles
and write them in an order with information. • Find out more about the riddle. • Present it to the class as a
chart and oral presentation.
Answer:
A riddle is a statement, a question or a phrase having a double or veiled meaning, put forth as a puzzle to be
followed.
(1) Enigmas – problems generally expressed in metaphorical or allegorical language that require ingenuity
and careful thinking for their solution.
(2) Conundra – Questions relying for their effects in punning in either the question or the answer.
I, personally, am very fond of solving riddles for the fact that they nurture creativity and aid in sharpening the
analytical skills. I have collected few riddles from the elders of my neighbourhood. As told by them these
riddles were passed on from generation to generation by word of math. In the earlier times when people
didn’t have the modern gadgets at their disposal for entertainment this ‘fun activity’ of asking riddles from
one another, sharing jokes came to their rescue. Unlike today’s time people could be often seen spending
quality time in each other’s company engaging themselves in such recreational activities during their leisure
time. Many of us must have had the pleasure of learning about such riddles from our grandparents in the
comfort of our homes.
Riddle 1:
There were flocks of sparrows sitting on two different trees. One sparrow from one flock said to the other
flock perching on the other tree, “if one of you come and join our flock, our number would become same as
yours.” In reply a sparrow from the other flock said, “if one of you joins our fock our number would be twice
as yours.” How many birds were there in each of the flocks ?
Answer: There were 5 sparrows in one flock and 7 in the other one.
Riddle 2:
Two Hourglasses : You have two sand hourglasses, one that measures exactly 4 minutes and one that
measures exactly 7 minutes. You need to measure out exactly 2 minutes to boil an egg. Using only these two
hourglasses, how can you measure out exactly 2 minutes to boil your egg ?
Answer: Flip over both hourglasses at the same time. After 4 minutes, the 4-minute hourglass will be done,
and there will be 3 minutes left in the 7-minute hourglass. Immediately flip the 4-minute hourglass over
again. After 3 more minutes, the 7-minute hourglass will be done, and there will be exactly 1 minute left in
the 4-minute hourglass. Immediately flip the 7-minute hourglass over again. After 1 more minute, the 4-
minute hourglass will be done again, and there will be exactly 6 minutes left in the 7- minute hourglass.
Immediately flip over the 4-minute hourglass. After 4 more minutes, the 4-minute hourglass will be done
again, and there will be exactly 2 minutes left in the 7-minute hourglass. At this point, put your egg in the
boiling water. When the 7- minute hourglass is done, it will have been exactly 2 more minutes, and your egg
will have boiled just right.
Riddle 3:
I have two rectangular wires.
Both of them have property that when I light the fire from one end, it will take 60 minutes to get completely
burn.
However they do not burn at consistent speed (i.e., it might be possible 1st 20% burn in 50 minutes and 80%
can burn in 10 minutes).
So how could I measure 45 minutes?
Answer: Steps : (A) burn 1st wire from both end and 2nd wire from one end
(B) After 30 minutes (when 1st wire gets completely burned out), burn the second wire from 2nd end as well
(C) when 2nd run completely gets burned, you know its 45 minutes.
Riddle 4:
You have a 12 liters jug full of water. You have two empty 8 liters and 5 liters jug. Now can you divide the
water into two equal parts using these jugs?
Answer: Diagram

Riddle 5:
12th Floor Elevator: A man lives on the twelfth floor of an
apartment building. Every morning he takes the elevator down
to the lobby and leaves the building. In the evening, he gets
into the elevator, and, if there is someone else in the elevator or
if it was raining that day, he goes back to his floor directly.
Otherwise, he goes to the tenth floor and walks up two flights
of stairs to his apartment that is on the twelfth floor. Why?
Answer: The man is a dwarf. He can’t reach the upper elevator
buttons, but he can ask people to push them for him. If it is
raining, he pushes the buttons with his umbrella.
Riddle 6:
There was a man who was born before his father, killed his
mother, and married his sister. Yet, there was nothing wrong
with what he had done. Why?
Answer: His father was in front of him when he was born,
therefore he was born before him. His mother died while
giving birth to him. Finally, he grew up to be a minister and
married his sister at her ceremony.
Riddle 7:
Alexander is stranded on an island covered in forest. One day, when the wind is blowing from the west,
lightning strikes the west end of the island and sets fire to the forest. The fire is very violent, burning
everything in its path, and without intervention the fire will burn the whole island, killing the man in the
process. There are cliffs around the island, so he cannot jump off. How can the Alexander survive the fire?
(There are no buckets or any other means to put out the fire)
Answer: Alexander picks up a piece of wood and lights it from the fire on the west end of the island. He then
quickly carries it near the east end of he island and starts a new fire. The wind will cause that fire to burn out
the eastern end and he can then shelter in the burnt area.
Riddle 8:
A man is discovered dead sitting at his desk, alone in the locked office. He did not commit suicide and there
were no weapons in the room. The only clue is a sealed envelope on the desk in front of him.
How did he die ?
Answer: The envelope glue was poisoned and when the man licked the envelope to seal it, he died.
Riddle 9:
In the backyard, there is a hollow stump that carries six ears of corn. If a healthy squirrel carries out only
three ears each day, how many days will it take to empty the stump?
Answer: Six days. Each day the squirrel will carry out the two ears on his head plus one ear of com.
Riddle 10:
Who makes it, has no need of it. Who buys it, has no use for it. Who uses it can neither see nor feel it. What
is it? Answer: Coffin.

Mail in those days!
• Our railways have undergone magical transformation since independence from electrification to high
speed etc. Find more about Indian Railways and prepare a write up. You can add experiences of rail travel
of the people.
 Answer: A write-up on the Indian Railways:
Founded on 8th May 1845, the Indian Railways is
India’s national railway system operated by the
Ministry of Railways. It is the fourth largest network
in the world by size. It has a route length of 67,368
kilometre and total track length of 121,407 kilometre
as of March 2017. Routes are electrified with 25 KV
AC electric traction while thirty three per cent of them
are double or multi-tracked.
More than 20,000 passenger trains are run by the
Indian Railways daily on long distance as well as on
suburban routes from 7,349 stations across India. All
the trains have been a 5 digit number for
identification. The most common type of trains mail
or express – run at an average speed of 50.6
kilometres per hour. The Indian Railways runs more
than 92,000 trains daily in the freight segment; these
trains run at an average speed of 24 kms per hours.
The Indian Railways consists of 277,987 freign wagons, 70,937 passenger coaches and 11,452 locomotives.

• Collect the pictures and information about vintage, royal and luxury trains in India

Answer:

Information and Pictures About Luxury Trains: Luxury

trains are designed to offer a very comfortable ride and
evoke an association with history and heritage. Operating
in several countries, they are premium, travel option.
Although some luxury trains promote tourism in
destinations across continent, others such as Maharaja
Express take passengers on a long, leisurely ride through
a single country.
Although air travel can be monotonous, passengers on a
luxury train can see the local environment, social and
economic conditions and a myriad of colours during their
travels. Unlike airplanes, luxury trains are spacious, and
have restaurants and bars, comfortable seating and
sleeping areas and bathrooms.
Information And Pictures about Royal Trains: The British Royal Train is used to convey senior members of
the British Royal family and associated staff of the Royal Household around the railway network of Great
Britain. Owned by Network Rail, it is maintained and operated by DB Cargo UK.
Information and Pictures About Vintage Trains
A steam locomotive is a type of railway locomotive that produces its pulling power through a steam engine.
Steam engines were first developed in United Kingdom during the early 19th century. Richard Trevithick
built the first steam locomotive in 1802. The first commercially successful steam locomotive was built in
1812-13 by John Blenkinsop. Locomotion No. 1 built by George Stepheson and his son Robert’s company
Robert stephenson and company was the first steam locomotive to haul passengers on a public railway, the
stockton and Darlington Railway in 1825. In 1830, George Stephenson opened the first public inter-city
railway, the Liverpool and Manchester Railway.

1. In a group of four, conduct research on the following question and write a report on the findings. What
animals can be exported or imported under law? (Customs seizures show a variety of animals from reptiles,
lizards, leopards to pythons, venomous reptile. These are carried in tiny suitcases and smuggled.)
Answer:
The livestock definition covers mules, asses,’ bulls, calves, bullocks, buffaloes, goats, swine, dogs, cats,
poultry, parrots, pigeons, canaries, fishes and other seafood, etc. that can be exported or imported under the
law. However, apart from regular procedures and documentation to import goods, the special provisions are
also required to import live animals. The exporters and importers have to follow specific requirements of
each importing country to import live animals from foreign country. India’s live animal exports mainly
include live goat and sheep. It accounts for 1.5% of global live animals exports. Also, it is the largest
exporter of buffalo meat but not exporter of live buffalo. India exports live animals mostly to Nepal, Saudi
Arabia, Oman, Kenya, Maldives, Sri Lanka, etc. Due to various restrictions on meat or processed meat, the
industry is looking towards live animals.
The culture and several religious traditions of India advocate non-violence and compassion towards animals.
For example, the first scriptures of Hinduism, the Vedas teach us ahimsa or non-violence towards all living
beings. In Hinduism, killing an animal is regarded as a violation of ahimsa and causes bad Karma. Similarly,
ahimsa is the central teaching of Jainism. Jains believe in the sanctity of all life. So, they practise strict
vegetarianism. Many of them go to great lengths even to avoid harming insects. Buddhism teachings also
include ahimsa. Buddhism teaches vegetarianism. Buddhists even practise life release in which animals
destined for slaughter are purchased and released to the wild.
Under the British rule, animal experimentation began in India in the 1960s. The British began introducing
new drugs to the colony. Moved by the suffering of Indian strays and drought animals, the first Indian
Society for the Prevention of cruelty to Animals (SPCA) was founded in 1861 in Calcutta (now, Kolkata) by
C. Grant. Mahatma Gandhi also advocated vegetarianism. He argued for abstinence from meat on ethical
grounds.
India’s first national animal welfare law, the Prevention of cruelty to Animals Act, was passed in 1960. The
Act criminalizes cruelty to animals. Although, exceptions are made for the treatment of animals used for food
and scientific experiments.
India has passed a number of animal welfare reforms since 1960. Subsequent laws have placed regulations
and restrictions on the use of drought animals, the use of performing animals, animal transport, animal
slaughter, and animal experimentation.
The import and ownership of foreign animals are restricted under the Export-Import Policy which governs all
imports and exports in our country. This has elaborate procedures and permissions required for the import of
any live animal which is not covered under the definition of “livestock” under Livestock Importation Act,
1898. The illegal trade of wildlife is prohibited under the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972. The Act aims at
effectively protecting the wildlife of this country and to control poaching, smuggling and illegal trade in
wildlife and its derivatives. In fact, International trade in all wildlife species of India is regulated collectively
through the provisions of the Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972, Export-Import Policy (EXIM Policy) under
the Foreign Trade (Development and Regulation) Act of 1992 and Customs Act of 1962.
The Wild Life Protection Act provides for the prohibition of hunting of protected species, strict regulation of
their possession transport and trade and the creation and management of protected areas. However, in spite of
all legal provisions, exotic animal trade is thriving in India. People shell out large sums of money for pocket
monkeys from Brazil, black pond turtles from Southern Asia, iguanas from South America and the Caribbean
and fish from the coral reefs of Indonesia. These wild animals are illegally transported, cruelly bred and then
sold at steep rates in Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru and Delhi.
Although, sufficient legal backing is provided for the scheduled animals which are indigenous species native
to India and South Asia but non-indigenous animals are also imported illegally into India on a large scale. In
fact, there is lack of legislation for the exotic pet trade. Customs seizures show a variety of animals exported
from India such as reptiles, lizards, leopards to pythons, venomous reptile, etc. These are carried in tiny
suitcases and smuggled. An exotic animal or exotic pet is not defined under any law of India. So, there is an
urgent need for sufficient and stronger legislation to efficiently curb these criminal activities.
Question 2.
Make a team of four studients. Imagine a unique animal or bird as a pet. Draw the animal and write the
following information about it.(a) Name of the pet and draw the animal on a chart paper.
Answer:My Pet Dog – Rocky:
The dog is considered as the man’s best friend. It is a loving, honest and faithful animal. The dog is a four-
footed carnivore animal. However, pet dog may be omnivore. The dog is considered as the first animal ever
to be domesticated by the human. The earliest known fossil of a domestic dog is from 31,700 years ago in
Belgium. They have lived with people for at least 30,000 years. In ancient times, dogs were buried together
with humans. That is, they have been proved very useful for the mankind. They understand human’s way of
talking and nature very wrell. Dogs vary in their colours, shapes, sizes, weight, and habits depending on the
type. A female dog can give birth to 3-6 puppies in one time.
The mother dog feeds milk and takes care to all her puppies till they become independent. The lifespan of a
dog can be 12 to 15 years long. It sleeps in the day and remains active at night. It can make various sounds
such as howl, snarl, bark, growl, etc. in order to express
different moods. It can run very vast. It has strong sense
of smell and hearing. It is a very clever domestic animal.
That is why, it is used by the police and army to detect
criminals. Also, they have sharp vision and understanding
power. They have sweet glands in their tongue which help
in cooling themselves through the process of panting.
I have always been fond of dogs. I had an earnest desire to
have a pet dog at home. Ultimately, my parents allowed
me to purchase it from Sonepur animal fair. I purchased it
for X 5,000.
I named it, Rocky. The picture of my Rocky is as follows

(c) What all do you have to do to keep the animal with you at home ? (You can refer to the dos and don’ts
given on page no. 102 of the textbook First Flight.)
Answer: Care for My Pet – Rocky:
All the members of my family love Rocky very much. It is a fact that owning a pet is a lifetime commitment
involving considerable responsibilities. We have to involve in various caring activities to keep the animal
with us at home. So, the decision to acquire one, should be made by the whole family. Without full
agreement by everyone, the pet could end up unwanted. Most importantly, people should purchase the pet
having the knowledge on how to take proper care of them.
Rocky is so adorable that every member of my family is attracted to it. We take proper care of it. We take an
annual dog licence in accordance with government regulations. We are very careful for its annual vaccination
against major diseases. We have given it proper toilet training. Especially, my younger brown is involved in
its regular grooming and bathing. My sister Rita gives it obedience training. My mother is very careful of
feeding it a balanced diet. We don’t confine it in the cage or tie it up to stop its natural activities. But, we
encourage it for socialisation. We give special attention to a daily dose of exercise, affection and play. Rocky
is a very good source of entertainment for all of us. It takes special care of my grandfather. It loves and
respects him very much. It shows affections towards him by wagging its tail and licking his hand and legs.
He, too, cannot live without it.

(B) Write a paragraph on ‘Why it is essential to travel with a ticket?
Answer: Whenever we are on a travel via any public mode of transportation like Buses, trains, airplanes etc.,
it is imperative for us to always carry a ticket. But the trend that can be seen in many small cities, that are not
very strict with laws, rules and regulation, is that people choose not to buy tickets and travel free of cost. It is
not an appropriate behaviour as it reflects a person’s ill mentality and utter lack of responsibility. People
miserably fail to realise that the revenue generated through the sale and purchase of tickets will ultimately be
spent on the maintenance of the infrastructure that supports and improves such public utilities.
Those who travel without tickets sometimes have to face public humiliation when they are caught travelling
without a ticket. The penalities invited on account of such wrong behaviours can be huge and grave.
Sometimes the travel tickets bear the name of the person, his place of residence and other contact details.
This proves helpful and indispensable when a person gets lost or separated from his/her family. Travelling
with a travel ticket also establishes the person as genuine and honest.
Project (page no-123)
Answer: Jataka Tales
(1) The Ass in The Lion’s Skin:

Once upon a time an Ass found a Lion’s hide in a jungle left by a hunter. He felt very happy to find it. He
thought to himself “if I wear the lion’s skin and roam about in the jungle, all the other animals will be scared
of me.” The idea of creating fear amongst the animals of the
forest amused the Ass. The Ass donned on the Lion’s skin and
hid himself in the thick bushes. As any animal passed by he
suddenly came rushing out at the animal and scared it a way.
All the animals of the jungle developed great dread of him. He
felt really delighted to know that. He got so overwhelmed with
joy that he couldnot contain his happiness. He started giving
out a loud harsh bray. A fox who was running with other
animals to escape from the Ass suddenly stopped short. He
laughed at the Ass and told him that if he had not been stupid to
give out a bray of an Ass, he could have saved himself from a
lot of trouble. Soon all other animals gathered around him and
beat him black and blue.
 (2) The Fox and The Crow:

Once a crow found a piece of meat. He was very happy to find

the piece of meat as he was feeling extremely hungry. He flew
and perched on a thick branch of a tree to enjoy his meal. A fox
who was wandering here and there in search of food saw the
crow sitting on the tree with the piece of meat. He wanted to get
that piece of meat from him, so he thought of a plan. He started
praising the crow that he had heard that the crow had a very
melodious voice. He requested the crow to sing a song for him
in his beautiful voice. The crow felt very pleased to hear the
clever fox’s words. He immediately opened his beak to sing. As
soon as he did that the piece of meat that he held in his beak fell
down. The fox quickly picked it an gobbled it up. The poor crow
had to go hungry due to his foolishness.

(3) The Wolf and The Crane:

Once upon a time there lived a clever wolf in a jungle. One day a
thick piece of bone of his prey, that he had devoured, got stuck in
his mouth. The wolf was in great pain. He felt extremely
uncomfortable and grew restless on account of the excruciating
pain. He started crying for help from his fellow animals. Suddenly
he came across a crane who was wading in the waters of a river
nearby. He asked for help from the crane. The crane agreed to help
the wolf on one condition. She asked the wolf to give her a reward
in return of her help. The wolf quickly agreed to the crane’s
proposal. The crane very easily moved her long neck down the
wolf, mouth and with her sharp beak took out the piece of bone.
The wolf got relieved of his pain. The crane then asked for her
reward. The clever wolf said to the crane that she had already got her reward as she had successfully took out
her neck from a wolfs mouth. The crane was full of regret for helping the clever wolf.
(4) The Turtle Who Could Not Stop Talking:
Once upon a time there lived a Turtle in a river in a forest. Due to extremely hot weather the river, soon,
started running dry. All aquatic life in that river started getting seriously affected. The fishes, the plants, the
phytoplanktons were dying. The turtle called out his close friends who were the two geese that lived in a
river few kilometres away. The turtle requested his
friends to take him away with them to their dwelling.
His friends agreed to the Turtle’s request. They picked
a thick branch of a tree from the ground. Both of them
held it from its two ends. in their beak. They asked the
turtle to hold the branch in his mouth from its centre.
The turtle did what the geese said. The geese told the
turtle that he must not open his mouth while they fly in
the air. As the three of them moved through the air, a
bunch of naughty boys, who were playing on the
ground started making fun of the turtle. They mocked
at the Turtle and laughed at the funny sight. The Turtle
got irked and to defend himself opened his mouth. His
 grip on the wooden branch got loose, he fell on the ground
‘and lost his life.
(5) The Cock and the Cat:
Once a clever cat got hold of a poor cock who was feeding
on the grains of corn lying on the ground. The cat held the
cock from his neck with his sharp paws. He said to the
cock “every morning you disturb the sleep of thousands of
people with your sharp loud crow. You must be punished
for your bad deeds.” The cock at once said to the cat that
he crows early morning only for the benefit of humanity.
He wakes them up from their sleep so that they can get on with their day’s work and don’t miss the important
task. The wicked cat was determined to eat the cock to satiate his hunger. He said to the cock “you abound in
apologies but its breakfast time.” He instantly killed the bird and ate him up.
(6) The Goose That Laid The Golden Egg:

There lived a farmer, with his wife, in a cottage. They had a golden
goose that laid a golden egg everyday. The farmer and his wife were
very pleased and happy with their life. They would sell the golden
eggs and get a huge sum in return. They soon started making a lot of
money. One day the farmer and his wife had a discussion with each
other. They decided to kill the golden goose. They thought to
themselves that a goose laying a golden egg everyday must contain
great gold lump in its belly. Instead of waiting everyday for just a
single golden egg it’s better to cut the goose up and get all the gold at
once. They killed the goose. Due to their greed they had to part with
their golden goose who gave them riches and joy.
(7) The Crane and The Crab:
Once upon a time there lived a crane near a pond. He had grown old and debilitated. Due to his old age it had
become extremely difficult for him to make arrangement for his food. He saw the pond teeming with all sorts
of aquatic life including the fishes, crabs, prawns, etc. He thought of a clever idea to feast on the pond
dwellers. He sat down near the pond with a sad face. When all the pond animals saw him sitting with a sad
face they got curious to know the cause of his sadness. When they inquired him about the same he said that
an Astrologer had made a prediction that this pond would soon run dry. All the animals got worried and
disappointed to know that. They started discussing amongst themselves as to what could be done to improve
the situation. They all decided to go to the crane to ask for a solution
to their problem. The Crane replied that he could help them. He
would take all the animals, one by one, in his beak, to the other
pond. All the animals agreed to his plan. The clever crane would
pick up one animal daily in his beak to be taken to a deserted place.
There he would devour his prey to pieces. One day it was the Crab’s
turn. The Crane held the Crab in his beak and flew away on his way
to the deserted place. As the Crane was about to reach his
destination, the Crab saw the skeletons of the fishes on the rocks
below, he immediately sensed the danger and realised that the Crane
had brought him there to kill and eat him up like the other animals.
He quickly caught hold of his neck with his sharp pincers and
crushed him to death.
 (8) The Monkey and The Crocodile:

Once upon a time there lived a monkey on a rose apple tree

which was situated near the bank of a river. In the river lived
a crocodile. To satiate his hunger, the monkey would pluck
the rose apples and eat them up. He would also give some of
them to the crocodile. Soon the monkey and the crocodile
became very good friends. They started spending a lot of
time in each other’s company. The crocodile started reaching
his home late on daily basis. The crocodile’s wife got really
annoyed due to the crocodile’s neglect of duty towards his
family. She inquired from the crocodile the reason for his
coming home late. The crocodile told his wife about his new
friend and even gave her some rose apples, which the
monkey had sent for the crocodile’s wife. The Crocodile’s
wife found the fruits very delicious and said to her husband
“the fruits are so tasty and sweet. The heart of the monkey,
who had been eating them daily, must have become really
delicious and sweet.” She immediately demanded her
husband to bring the monkey along with him so that she
could feast on him. The crocodile refused to do so. His wife thought of a clever idea. She lied down on the
bed and pretended to be sick. She told her husband that the doctor had said that her condition was critical and
she could only get well if she ate a monkey’s heart. The crocodile was in great dilemma. He could not
sacrifice his friend’s life for his wife. The crocodile’s wife appealed to his husband’s conscience by
reminding him of his responsibilities towards his wife. The crocodile went near the tree and told the monkey
that his wife had invited him for the dinner. The monkey agreed to go with the crocodile to his place. On
their way, the crocodile told the monkey that he was taking him to his house not for any dinner but for his
wife who wanted to eat his heart. The monkey didn’t take a minute to think of an idea to save his life. He said
to the crocodile that he had left his heart on the tree. If he had been told that his wife wanted to eat his heart,
he would have brought it along with him. The crocodile asked the monkey to bring back his heart and took a
turn to go towards the tree. On reaching near the tree, the monkey quickly made a huge leap to reach his
home on the tree. He then said to the Crocodile that he must tell his wife that she had married a fool.
