An Old Farmer and His Lazy Sons
Once there lived an old farmer
in a certain village. The farmer was very anxious for his three sons as they
were lazy. One day an idea occurred to his mind. He called his sons and told them
that he had hidden vast treasure in their field. He asked them to dig up the
treasure. Immediately, they started digging the field but found nothing. Then
the old farmer advised them to sow seeds there. They did so and after some
months they saw a rich harvest. The sons understood the value of hard work.

Write a short paragraph in about sixty words
describing your favourite season. Use the following hints: Name of the
season – flowers and fruits – vegetables – festivals – why you enjoy it.
My Favourite Season
There are six seasons in
Bengal. Of them I like ‘Spring’ most. Spring is rightly called the ‘king of
seasons’. The season lasts for two months namely Phalgun and Chaitra. After the
biting cold of winter people got some relief. The sky remains cloudless. Mild
breeze begins to blow. Nature decorates herself with new leaves and flowers. Various
vegetables and fruits are also produced in this season. ‘Holi’ is the main festival
of this season. For all these reasons, I enjoy this season most.
