A Strange Experience of a Night

 
Once I with my friends went on a tour to a dense forest. All day long we enjoyed the beauty of the forest. Slowly the evening came. We saw a forest bungalow. So we decided to stay there that night. We were given separate rooms to sleep in. Being tired I soon fell a sleep. But after sometime some strange noises woke me up. Being scared I ran into the next room. But they were not there. I prayed for the dawn. As soon as I saw the light, I left the bungalow. Asking the way of the bus stop to the local people, I reached there and returned home safely at noon.
 

Activity - 10 (b)

Imagine that you have a very lazy brother who is always late in getting up from sleep. Write an imaginary conversation between you and your brother on the usefulness of early rising.
 
My brother : Good Morning!
 
I : Yes, very good morning. But why are you in such a hurry?
 
My brother : I am already very late for my school.
 
I : But why are you so late?
 
My brother : Actually I can’t rise early from bed.
 
I : I am very upset to hear such from you. It is a bad habit. It spoils your precious time. You should not be lazy.
 
My Brother : I try to get up early but I can’t.
 
I : Try again and again until it is rectified. Always remember “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.”
 
My Brother : Ok, dada, I promise you to rise early from tomorrow.
 
I : Ok, now safely go to school.
