Grammar:

I. Degrees of Comparison : (Comparison of Adjectives)

Read the following sentences.

The elephant is bigger than the donkey.
The donkey is not so big as the elephant.
In the above sentences the elephant and the donkey are compared with respect to their size. The words “big” and “bigger” are adjectives that are used to compare their size.

Read these sentences.

1. Aruna is a tall girl.
2. Aruna is taller than Karuna.
3. Aruna is the tallest girl in the class.

In the first sentence the adjective ‘tali’ tells us that Aruna is a tall girl, without saying how much tall she is. The adjective ‘tall’ is said to be in the ‘Positive Degree’. In the second sentence, the adjective taller tells us that Aruna is taller than Karuna. Here the comparison takes between two persons. The adjective ‘taller’ is said to be in the ‘Comparative Degree’.

In the third sentence, the adjective ‘tallest’ tells us that of all the girls in that class, Aruna is the tallest girl. It shows us the highest degree. The adjective ‘tallest’ is said to be in the ‘Superlative Degree’.

The adjectives come either before or after the noun. They take intensifiers like very, quite etc.

So, we can say that there are three degrees of comparison in English. They are

1. Positive Degree
2. Comparative Degree
3. Superlative Degree

1. The Positive Degree :
The Positive Degree of an Adjective is the Adjective in its simple form. It is used when there is no comparison.

2. The Comparative Degree :
The Comparative Degree of an Adjective tells us a higher degree of the quality than the Positive. It is used when there is comparison between two things or persons or places.

3. The Superlative Degree :
The Superlative Degree of an Adjective tells us the highest degree of the quality. It is used when there is comparison among more than two things or persons or places.

Here are the three forms of a few adjectives.

Positive	Comparative	Superlative
dark	darker	darkest
small	smaller	smallest
near	nearer	nearest
big	bigger	biggest
lovely	lovelier	loveliest
dirty	dirtier	dirtiest
melodious	more melodious	most melodious
great	greater	greatest
long	longer	longest
tall	taller	tallest
happy	happier	happiest
easy	easier	easiest
many	more	most
old	older	oldest
old (two members of the same family)	elder	eldest
sweet	sweeter	sweetest
sad	sadder	saddest
thin	thinner	thinnest
courageous	more courageous	most courageous
beautiful	more beautiful	most beautiful

Listen to the story “The Friendly Mongoose” and answer the following questions:

The Friendly Mongoose

Once, a farmer and his wife lived in a village with their small son. They loved him very much. “We must have a pet,” the farmer said to his wife one day. “When our son grows up, he will need a companion. This pet will be our son’s companion.” His wife liked the idea.

One evening, the farmer brought with him a tiny mongoose. “It’s a baby mongoose,” said his wife, “but will soon be fully grown. He will be a friend to our son.”

Both the baby and the mongoose grew. In five or six months, the mongoose had grown to its full size – a lovely animal with two shining black eyes and a bushy tail. The farmer’s son was still a baby in the cradle, sleeping and crying alternately.

One day, the farmer’s wife wanted to go to the market. She fed the baby and rocked him to sleep in his little cradle. Picking up the basket, she said to her husband, “I’m off to the bazar. The baby is sleeping. Keep an eye on him. Frankly. I don’t like to leave the child alone with the mongoose.”

“You needn’t be afraid,” said the farmer. “The mongoose is a friendly animal. It’s as sweet as our baby and they are the best of friends, you know.”

The wife went away, and the farmer, having nothing to do in the house, decided to go out and take a look at his fields not far away. He ran into some friends on the way back and didn’t return for quite some time.

The farmer’s wife finished her shopping and came back home with a basket full of groceries. She saw the mongoose sitting outside as if waiting for her. On seeing her, he ran to welcome her, as was customary. The farmer’s wife took one look at the mongoose and screamed. “Blood!” she cried. The face and paws of the mongoose were smeared with blood.

“You wicked animal! You have killed my baby,” she screamed hysterically. She was blind with rage and with all her strength brought down the heavy basket full of groceries on the blood-smeared mongoose and ran inside to the child’s cradle.

The baby was fast asleep. But on the floor lay a black snake torn and bleeding. In a flash she realised what had happened. She ran out looking for the mongoose.

“Oh! You saved my child! You killed the snake! What have I done?” she cried touching the mongoose, who lay dead and still, unaware of her sobbing. The farmer’s wife, who had acted hastily and rashly, stared long at the dead mongoose. Then she heard the baby crying. Wiping her tears, she went in to feed him.

Question 1.
Which character do you like the most in the story and why ?
Answer:
I like the character of the mongoose the most in the story. It saved the little child’s life by sacrificing its life.

Question 2.
Do you think the mongoose would have bitten the child ?
Answer:
No, I don’t think the mongoose would have bitten the child.

Question 3.
Is the woman right in killing the mongoose ? What would you have done ?
Answer:
No, the woman is not right in killing the mongoose. I wouldn’t have killed the mongoose. I would have gone into the room where the baby slept and known what had happened there.

Question 4.
Why did the husband go to fields leaving the child to the mongoose ?
Answer:
The husband went to fields to reap the harvest leaving the child to the mongoose.

Question 5.
Why do you think the mongoose killed the snake ?
Answer:
I think that the snake tried to bite the baby. Then the mongoose killed the snake to save the baby.

Question 6.
Suggest one word that describes the character of the mongoose in the story.
Answer:
Faithfulness

Question 7.
It is a good idea to have a mongoose as a pet ? Give reasons.
Answer:
Yes, it is a good idea to have a mongoose as a pet. A mongoose is a lovable and faithful animal. The crawling creatures may not dare to enter our houses.

Peace And Harmony Summary in English

Once there lived many animals, birds, snakes and insects in a thick forest. They wandered together around the forest without any fear. They lived in peace and harmony. They often held a musical evening in a large open field and invited the moon and her friends and the stars as the guests of honour. They used to show their special abilities at their cultural evenings.

One day a cunning jackal entered the forest and disturbed the peaceful atmosphere. He wanted to make all the animals as his prey one by one by creating enmity among them. He changed their minds with his saying and poisoned them. He was successful and the animals moved about individually or with their own group. There was the opportunity the cunning jackal was waiting for. He started killing the animals one by one and ate them up. There were no more cultural evenings.

Seeing this the moon came to the forest in the disguise of a sadhu. All the creatures met him. They blamed one another in his presence. The sadhu understood the situation and tried to set peace and harmony by talking to them. Gradually the normal conditions were being set. But the jackal was very angry with the sadhu and was looking for an opportunity to attack him.

One day, while the jackal tried to kill the hens, the sadhu offered himself as a prey to the jackal and requested the jackal to leave them. Then the jackal dragged him into the forest, tore him into pieces and ate him up. After eating the sadhu, the jackal’s stomach bloated until it burst. Even in his last seconds, the sadhu advised and wished that the animals, birds and insects should live in peace and harmony. The creatures once again started to roam, sing and sleep in peace. The moon and the stars witnessed their cultural evenings in a happy mood.
