Dear Aunt,
You know I like to read
adventure stories. Recently I read ‘Chander Pahaar’ written by Bhibhutibhusan
Bandyopadhyay. (Now, I am going to share you my views with you.)
The story started with a
village youth Sankar, an adventure lover. He went to Africa and worked there
for a railway company. One day he met a Portuguese fortune hunter named Diego
Alvarez. They set off together to look for the Chander Pahaar where diamonds
were said to be found. But Diego died and Sankar crossed the Kalahari Desert
where he found some diamonds but got rescued after great difficulties. Finally,
he returned to India.
This is all that thrilled me
a lot. No more now. With love and regards,
Your loving nephew,
Baban

Write a
summary of the following passage:
Mahatma Gandhi was very honest from his childhood. He never resorted to any unfair action. One day, while Gandhi was in school, an inspector of schools came on a visit. The inspector entered the classroom where Gandhi was sitting with other students. The Inspector gave a couple of English spellings to the students to write. Gandhi had written one incorrect spelling. The class teacher noticed this and indicated with his eyes to Gandhi to copy the correct spelling from another student’s exercise book. But he did not do this. After the Inspector left, the class teacher scolded him for not following his instruction. Gandhi replied bravely that copying was dishonest and that is why he had not done it. (119 words)
