            Unlucky I am – with my skill – killed the tiger – killed the wild elephant – but credit went to the big man – the king and the people praised him \u2014 I was ignored – really unfortunate – what can I do now? – can I reveal the truth \u2014 may the king punish us – better to keep quiet.
            \nAnswer:
            \nHow unlucky I am! I killed the tiger and the wild elephant with my skill. But the credit went to the big man. I did not get any recognition.

            B. You have read the lesson \u2018The Brave Little Bowman\u2019. Rewrite it in the form a story.
            \nAnswer:
            \nOnce upon a time, there lived a bowman. He was a skillful archer in a city. Though he was short in height and had a crooked back, none could beat him in archery. One day he thought, \u201c I am good enough to join the king\u2019s army, but he would never take me in because of my short stature and hunched back. I must look for someone tall and pow\u00acerful, and then I can enter the king\u2019s army as his page.\u201d<\/p>\n

            One day, the little bowman found the kind of man he was Iooking for. He was a tall and powerful man and used to dig ditches to earn his living. The bowman approached him and said, \u201cThe days of your misery are over! 1 am the best archer of this country and worthy of being a part of the king\u2019s royal army. But, I may get rejected because of my height and crooked back. So, I need your help. You will immediately be recruited in the, army because of your physique and you can then introduce me to them as your assistant. I will do the work that you will be given to vdo and we shall divide the pay between us. This way both of us wili be able to live comfortably.\u201d<\/p>\n

            The tall man gladly agreed. Together they reached the king\u2019s palace and sent word to the king that a famous bowman was there to meet him. The king met the bowman and being impressed by his towering personality, joined him in the royal army. The little man\u2019s dream had come true. He was now a part of the royal army, though disguised as the assistant of the big man.<\/p>\n

            In those days, there was a man-eater tiger on the loose in the jungle. The king sent for the big man and ordered him to kill the tiger. The big man told the little bowman what the king had said. They went to the forest together and soon, the little bowman shot the tiger dead. The king was extremely impressed by the heroic act of the big man and rewarded him with expensive gifts.<\/p>\n

            Some days, later, a wild elephant came on the city roads and started killing the people. The big man was asked to go and kill the elephant. The big man carried the little bowman on his shoulders and as always, the little bowman hit his target and killed the elephant.The king was full of praise for the big man and gave him a reward. The big man started treating the little man as his servant and spoke him Very rudely. The little bowmah was very sad.<\/p>\n

            A few days later, the king of the neighbouring country attacked the kingdom. The king at once sent his army. The big man was mounted on a majestic elephant and was wearing shining armour. The little bowman knew that the big man could not shoot, so he also took his bow and arrow and quietly sat behind the big man on the elephant.<\/p>\n

            When the big man saw a huge enemy army in front of him, he started to shake with fear. The little bowman asked him to keep sitting quietly, but the big man was so nervous that he jumped off the elephant and ran back to the city from the battle-field.<\/p>\n

            The little bowman led the elephant fearlessly into the battle-field and killed many of the enemies with his unmistakable shots. All the soldiers were motivated by the little man\u2019s act of bravery and they soon forced the enemy army to withdraw, itself. The king now understood that it was the little bowman who was the real hero. He made ‘ him the chief of his army andalso rewarded him with rich gifts.<\/p>\n

                    The Brave Little Bowman Summary<\/h3>\n

                    Once upon a time, there lived a skillful archer in a city. Though he was short in \u2018 height and had a crooked back, none could beat him in archery. One day he thought, \u201cI am good enough to join the king\u2019s army, but he would never take ine in because of my short stature and hunched back. I must look for someone tall and powerful, and then I can enter the king\u2019s army as his .page.\u201d<\/p>\n

                    One day, the little bowman found the kind of man he was looking for. He “was a tall and powerful man and used to dig ditches to earn his living. The bowman approached him and said, \u201cThe days of your misery are over! I am the best archer of this country and worthy of being a part of the king\u2019s royal army. But, I may get rejected because of my height and crooked back. So, 1 need your help. You will immediately be recruited in the army because of your physique and you can then introduce me to them as your assistant. I will do the work that you will be given to do and we shall divide the pay between us. This way both of us will be able to live comfortably.\u201d<\/p>\n

                    The tall man gladly agreed. Together-they reached the king\u2019s palace and sent word to the king that a famous bowman was there to meet him.

                    A Fairy Song Summary<\/h3>\n

                    The poem \u2018A Fairy Song\u2019, refers to a fairy that serves his\/her fairy queen. He\/She spreads the dew on the flower everywhere he\/she crosses. He\/She wanders many places to do this work like hills, pales and so on.<\/p>\n

                    The fairy flies over hill and open river valleys, through bushes and prickly plants, above parks and fences, through floods and fire.<\/p>\n

                    The fairy travels everywhere faster than the moon revolves around the earth. The fairy serves the Fairy Queen.<\/p>\n

                    The fairy works for the fairy queen and must deliver dewdrops (orbs here refers to the spherical shape of the drops) on the greenery around. This includes delivering dewdrops to the cowslips – a yellow flower with tall slender stems. The cowslips are therefore indebted to the fairy queen and therefore become her pensioners.<\/p>\n

                    In their yellow gold petals being referred to as coats… thus personifying it in a way, you can see spots. The spots are red in colour and therefore look like rubies. If you have seen a cowslip, you will notice it has red spots in the centre. The poet says this is possible because of the favour the fairy does to the cowslips by delivering dew to them. The red spots are compared to freckles that appear at the peak of a cowslip\u2019s life.<\/p>\n

                    The fairy finally says that he\/she must look for more dewdrops that have been compared to pearls so that he\/she can hang them in every cowslip\u2019s ear. Again this is a personification where the cowslip is given a human quality of having an ear that can be fashioned with a pearl.<\/p>\n
