ACTIVITY– I

Read aloud the story given below in the class.

THE LION, THE BEAR AND THE FOX

Once, it so happened that a Lion and a Bear were resting not very far from each other. They both chanced to see a strong Kid nearby. The great Bear rushed to seize the Kid from one direction and the Lion came towards it from the other.

Since both the Lion and the Bear wanted the prey, they fought savagely for it. In the battle, both received so many wounds that they sank to the ground, as they were too exhausted to continue the contest.

Just then the clever fox came by. The fox dashed up, seized the Kid in his jaws by his teeth, and whisked it off.

The mighty Lion and the powerful bear could only watch with helpless rage as a much weaker animal managed to get the prize, which they had themselves set their eyes upon.

“It would have been much better,” agreed the Lion and the Bear, “to have shared the prey between us ourselves in a friendly spirit, rather than lose it to a third party!”

On the basis of your reading of the story, answer the following questions and read aloud your answers in the class:

a) Do you think the fight between the Lion and the Bear was appropriate? Why?b) How was the fox able to get the Kid? c) Why, do you think, the Kid did not try to run away and save his life?d) What lesson did the Lion and he Bear learn by their own action?e) If the Lion and the Bear had not fought, the story would have been different and more

interesting. Use the imagination and write your story in this situation. Tell your story in class.
