ACTIVITY TASK III (Class X)

ACTIVITY TASK III

CLASS X

1. Read the text given below and answer the questions that follow: 

            We had a kite that was big and covered with lovely red paper. We pasted gold tinsel stars all over it and had written our names full on it – Claude Leete and Philippa Leete , Big Half Moon lighthouse. One day there was a grand wind for kite-flying. I’m not sure how it happened, but as I was bringing the kite from the house, I tripped and fell over the rocks. My elbow went clear through the kite, making a big hole. We had to hurry to fix the kite if we wanted to send it up before the wind fell. We rushed into the lighthouse to get some paper. We knew there was no more red paper. We took the first thing that came handy – an old letter lying on the bookcase in the sitting room. We patched the kite up with the letter, a sheet on each side and dried it by the fire. We started out, and up went the kite like a bird. The wind was glorious and it soared. All at once – snap! And there was Claude, standing with a bit of cord in his hand, looking foolish. Our kite had sailed away over to the mainland.

[ a fisherman went to sea – a storm arose – boat wrecked – he fell into the sea – floated for five days – only drank rain water – rescued by a ship – returned home]

MISFORTUNE OF A FISHERMAN

                It was a small village by the sea. The most inhabitants of the village had to depend on the sea to earn their living. And fishing was their most usual task. One day  it occurred that a fisherman went to the sea. There was no prediction of storm. But suddenly a violent storm arose from the clear sky and the sea started to roar loudly. Soon the boat hit a rock and was wrecked. As a result the fisherman fell into the sea. There was none to help the fisherman. With the help of a slender wood he floated upon the sea. The only thing that went inside his stomach was rain water. Spending five days he thought it was his destiny to receive a watery sepulcher. He ruminated the days he had spent with his family. He prayed to the God several times but it was unfruitful. He almost submitted to the Destiny when he was rescued by a passing ship on the seventh day. He thanked the God for bringing him back to life. Back on the land he narrated everyone the story of his unfortunate experience.
