perspective.
Sincerely

My
hobby
Good
hobby is the best answer to utilise our leisure. It becomes the best source of
recreation. My hobby is gardening. I have a small plot of land in front of my
house. Here I use the spare time of my morning and evening best. I prepare the
soil, nurse the plants and care the flowers. The greenery of my garden adds
extra beauty to my house. No one can pass without throwing sight over it. Then
I feel mental and physical satisfaction which pacifies my soul.

The
Happiest Day in Your Life

principles of science. Based on the practical aspects of science I use to make
various types of models and devices. Just during my leisure I made a model of
Clean Energy producing device. It was selected for National Science Exhibition
which was held in November 2021. It was a happy time for me. But the happiest
day in my life came in this exhibition. The International Scientists were very
impressed by my idea and they invited me for International Junior Science

But it was real. It was the happiest moment in my Life
Q. 49. How did the post office employees help Lencho? How did
Lencho react to their help?
or, What had the post-office employees done for Lencho? Why did
he call them a bunch of crooks?
Ans.
When the post office employees received the letter written to God, they first
burst into laughter. Then the postmaster decided to answer this letter. He
asked for money from his employees. He also asked his friends to contribute
money as an act of charity. He himself gave a part of his salary. In this way
he sent an envelope to Lencho with a signature "God".
When
Lencho received the envelope with signature of God, he became delighted. He
happily opened the envelope and counted the money. It was only seventy pesos, a
less of thirty pesos. Lencho became furious and decided to write again to God
for the rest amount but not through the mail. Because he believed that post
office employees were a bunch of crooks.
Q. 50. What are the twin obligation Mandela speaks of? Why could
he not fulfil these obligations?
or, What twin obligations does Mandela mention?
or, What twin obligation does every man have in life?
Ans.
Mandela talks about every man's twin obligations. One is to his family to his
parents, wife and children. The second obligation is towards his community,
people and his country. The author feels that in a free country a man is able
to fulfil both of these obligations. But in a country like South Africa, where
people are deprived of their freedom, it is not possible. If a man looks at the
suppression of the people and acts to get rid of the situation, he is punished
and isolated from his family. He has to live life of a rebel. In such condition
he cannot fulfil his responsibilities towards his family. On the other hand, if
he ignores the poor condition of his country and its people, he may live a good
family-life, but he is not fulfilling his obligation to his country.

food and every sort of clothing was given to it. Tricki had separate beds,
separate bowls. Tricki led a very comfortable and luxurious life. It did not do
any work. All the time it ate. So, eating all the time and doing no work made
it very fat. This resulted in its falling ill, Mrs. Pumphrey got worried. She
immediately called Mr. Herriot a veterinary surgeon for the dog's treatment.
So, it was Mrs. Pumphrey excess love that led to its falling very ill.

Ans.
Horace Danby was about fifty years old, He was unmarried. He was a healthy man.
But he had attacks of hay fever in summer. He earned his living by making
locks. He was successful at his business. He had two helpers. Thus he was good
and respectable.

loved rare expensive books. So he robbed one safe every year to buy such books.
He was a successful thief. He planned his robberies well. In this way he was
not completely honest.

was not a hard core thief. He felt nervous when he saw the young lady in red.
