Activity 16
Write a story [in about 80 words] using
the following points. Give a title to the story:
(A hare challenges a tortoise to a race – the race starts – hare takes
rest on the way – falls asleep – the tortoise reaches the goal first.)
The Hare and the
Tortoise
Once a hare and tortoise lived in a forest. The hare was very
proud of his fast speed. He made fun of the tortoise for his slow speed. The
hare challenged the tortoise in a race with him. The hare accepted the
challenge. The race started on the next morning. The hare ran very fast. The
tortoise was left far behind. The hare stopped to rest under a tree. He fell
asleep. The tortoise passed him and reached the winning post first. The hare
woke up and ran as fast as he could. He saw that the tortoise was already at
the winning post. He lost the race.
Moral: Slow
and steady wins the race.

Dear Prokash,
At first, take my cordial love. Hope you are
well by the grace of God. I am also well. Today I am writing this letter to
tell you about my experience of visiting a zoo.
Last December I along with my parents went to
Alipore Zoo. After buying tickets we entered the zoo. At first, we saw a
chimpanzee who welcomed us with his bare teeth. Then we saw different types of
birds like peacocks, robins, parrots, parakeets, ostriches etc. in the bird
zone and crocodiles, snakes, and lizards in the reptile zone. We saw zebras,
deer, leopards, monkeys, tigers, lions, elephants and many animals. Though it
is an incredible experience, my heart became heavy for the caged animals. If we
humans are kept in a cage like them, would we be happy? Never! I wish these
beautiful creatures should be kept in a reserve forest, not in these cages.
What you think about this? Share your thoughts with me!
I have taken many photos
there which I will show you the next time we meet. Till then, take care and
give my regards to your parents.
Your
loving friend,
Toton
