Meaning of the words as used in the lesson.

Sympathy
I lay in sorrow, deep distressed
My grief a proud man heard
His looks were cold.
He gave me gold.
But not a kindly word.
My sorrow passed – I paid him back
The gold he gave to me.
Then stood erect and spoke my thanks
And blessed his charity.
I lay in want, in grief and pain.
A poor man passed my way.
He bound my head.
He gave me bread.
He watched me night and day.
How shall I pay him back again
For all, he did to me ?
Oh ! Gold is great. But greater far
Is heavenly sympathy !

an argument started between them as to who is stronger between the two. To end the dispute,
they decided to test their strengths. They saw a man walking on a dirt path. Both agreed on
the challenge to make the man remove his coat. First, the wind used its strength by blowing
hard. As it blew hard, the man caught hold of his coat tightly.
The wind blew even harder. The harder it blew, the more tightly the man held his coat. Finally,
the wind grew tired and gave up. It could not remove the coat. Now it was the sun's turn to
show its strength. It started shining brightly and raised the temperature. The man started
feeling hot and loosened his coat. The sun shone more brightly, and the man began to sweat.
He immediately took off his coat So, the sun became the winner.

Amritsar,

Dear Navjot,

I received your letter yesterday. I want to tell you about a friend of mine who had a bad
temper. He used bad words even in his routine talks. This bad habit earned him a bad
name. No one liked to talk to him. So I hit upon a plan to reform him. Whenever he used
a bad word, I objected to it and made him say ‘sorry’. Gradually, he got tired of his
apology . He began to control his speech. Within a week, he was speaking kindly and
softly. It was a great change which made both of us happy and surprised.

Your loving brother

Look at the picture given below. In the given space, describe what is happening in
the picture.

Water-Cycle

The picture shows the water-cycle in nature. Water in oceans, ponds, rivers and other water evaporates
due to heat. The vapour gets mixed with the air. The air becomes light and goes up. Clouds are formed.
Trees cool down the clouds and the vapour gets condensed into water drops, hailstones etc. They
bring heavy drop downs on earth. It is called precipitation. All this is water. It flows down on the
ground and gets collected in the water bodies again. Hence, the completion of the cycle.
