    Q1. Think of appropriate words to describe the three children.
    Give a reason for each of your choices.
    (a) Bobbie (e.g. practical: She shows Peter how to tear the
    petticoat.)
    (b) Phyllis
    (c) Peter
    Ans. Bobbie – Bobbie was a practical girl. She helped Peter in
    making flags. She was very courageous and confident girl. She
    was also very daring as she didn’t care of her life and put all
    her efforts to stop the train and got succeeded.
    Phyllis- Phyllis was somehow nervous and confused in her
    nature. She felt that the landslide was because of some magical
    power. Instead of her nervousness, she tried her best to help
    her friends in their efforts to stop the train.
    Peter- Peter was full of leadership skills. He acted as a leader of
    the team. He took initiative to make flags with flannel
    petticoats and decided to wave the flag himself to stop the
    train. These were Peter’s efforts that he led the team and they
    managed to stop the train successfully.

    Q2. What do you think caused the rock and the trees to get
    uprooted and crash into the railway track below?
    Ans. The rocks and the trees got uprooted and crash into the
    railway track due to heavy rain and storm.
    Q3. Why do you think the children chose to make red flags?
    Would it have mattered if they had chosen another colour?
    Ans. The children chose to make red flags to wave against the
    upcoming train to warn the engine driver. The railway track
    was blocked by uprooted trees and rocks. The red colour
    usually symbolizes the danger. If they had chose any other
    colour, it might not convey the right message to the engine
    driver.
    Q4. How do you think the engine driver and the passenger must
    have felt when the children told them why they had stopped
    the train?
    Ans. The engine driver and the passengers must have felt
    scared and horrified. But after observing the situation, they felt
    relaxed when the children told them that the danger is now
    averted.
    Q5. Do you think Bobbie was foolish in standing on the track
    and waving her flag? What could have made her faint at the
    end of the story?
    Ans. No, Bobbie was not foolish in standing on the track and
    waving her flag. She was daring and very practical girl. She
    decided to stand on the track and wanted to gave her best to
    avoid the frightful accident. Although she succeeded, but due
    to extra stress on her mind she got a sudden shock and got
    fainted.
