(iii) The water is gentle; rock is
(iv) The flower comes to a life for
We have a hibiscus plant in our garden. Every fortnight a flower blooms on it big, bright and tender. Through the day it smiles with the sun and dances with the wind, but as evening approaches, it starts wilting. The morning after, it withers completely and by evening it falls and becomes one with the earth again. The flower comes to life only for a day, yet it does so in full splendour. What if we too lived our life, however short, to its fullest ?
We went to a rocky beach and saw the spread of the majestic ocean and the rocks alongside, carved, sculpted and shaped by the water. Water is so gentle, rock so hard, yet, as the water flows over it everyday, for years, the rock gives in. It takes the shape that the water commands. Our problems are so colossal and we are so small, yet if we persist
We saw small bits of grass peeping through the small cracks in a concrete pavement. It left us thinking: however impossible things may look, there is always an opening

A5. Personal Response: (2)
‘Nature is the best teacher.’ Explain in 3/4 sentences.
Answer: Nature is the best teacher because it provides countless lessons through observation and experience. We can learn about resilience from trees that bend in a storm but do not break, patience from the slow growth of a seed into a mighty plant, and the importance of balance from the intricate interdependence of ecosystems. These natural examples offer profound insights into life’s challenges and virtues, often more effectively than any classroom lecture.
(B) Read the following passage and do the activities: (10 marks)
B1. Rewrite and state whether the following sentences are ‘True or False’: (2)
(i) The narrator heard the barking of street dogs.
(ii) The narrator did not hear the disturbance.
(iii) The dominant male usually does not allow another male to survive within its group.
(iv) The narrator gathered a thin stick in one hand.
Suddenly, I heard a group of street dogs barking furiously in the distance. I chose to ignore the commotion thinking that the pack of dogs might have cornered a hapless pig. But soon, the barking became louder and more aggressive and the alarmed cawing of a flock of crows added to the cacophony. I also heard the disturbance approaching closer.
Curiosity got the better of me. Leaving the book aside, I rushed to the veranda to see what was going on.
I glanced towards the roof of the club house and saw something horrible.
A big male langur, apparently the leader of its group, was holding a baby langur in his hands and mercilessly biting it all over with a definite intent to kill. The helpless mother of the baby and other lesser members of the langur group were scattered on the roofs of the buildings nearby watching the baby being killed. I recalled the terrible custom in the animal clan according to which a dominant male usually does not allow another male baby or adult to survive within its group.
Without losing any time, I gathered a stout stick in one hand and hurled a piece of stone at the marauding langur. The langur was so infuriated that it hardly took any notice of my assault. But then I started throwing more stones. The dogs on their part raised their pitch of cry.
