Water is one of the most important natural resource. With the rising population there has been an increasing pressure on the earth's resources. Scarcity of water has been felt throughout the country. Efforts have been made to collect water by building dams. Wells have also been dug to create ground water structure. But this is not enough. Wise conservation of water is needed. One of the most popular ways of conservation is rain water harvesting. It means collecting rain water on the roofs of buildings and storing it underground for later use.

Thanking You

Yours faithfully

Q. 48. Write a paragraph on 'Discipline' Or 'Importance of Exercise'.

Ans.

Discipline

Discipline means to follow good manners. It is a great inner virtue of a man. We cannot imagine a life without discipline. It makes a man admirable and an apple of eyes (बहुत प्यारा) We cannot rise in life without it. It should be cultivated from our childhood. It has equal importance for everyone and everywhere. In offices, schools, homes, in the playground and parliament, discipline must be followed. Without discipline, the progress would be blocked. It promotes fellow feeling, intimacy and good relationship. A disciplined person is honoured by everyone. Even his counterparts praise him.

Importance of Exercise / Morning Walk

Morning walk is a good exercise. It keeps us mentally and physically fit. It keeps us in good health. It is suitable for the child as well for the young. It is necessary for the weak and old person. It is suitable for a person, who is engaged in brain work. Walking becomes interesting when it is undertaken with friends. It has its own pleasure. Some people like to walk alone. It is the only form of exercise prescribed for children, women and the old men. One who misses it, misses many good things.

Q. 49. How did Mij pass his time in london with the author?

or, How did Mijbil spend most of his time?

Ans. The author stayed in London for a month. During this time Mij passed his time by playing games. He played with ping-pong balls, rubber fruits, marbles and a shell. He had invented a game with the ping-ping ball.

Mij would place the ping-pong ball on the raised side of a broken suitcase cover. Mij discovered that the ball thus placed would run along the full length of the suitcase. He would dash around the other side to ambush the ball. He would hide from the ball, crouch and spring up. He would try to take the ball by surprise and trot off to put the ball on the high end of the suitcase once more. It was Mij's favoutite pastime.

or, Sketch the character of Lencho.

Ans. Lencho was a hardworking farmer. He worked hard in his fields in hope of good harvest. His crops were completely destroyed by the hailstorm He had deep faith in God. His only hope was the help from God. So he decided to write a letter to God. In his letter to God he requested God to send a hundred pesos.

Lencho is neither greedy nor selfish. He wants help only to save his family and himself from starvation after his crop has been destroyed due to hailstones.

He is unquestioning about God. After receiving money through the letter. he makes no attempt to know who has helped him. Instead of thanking for the money received, he becomes angry and blanes the post office people and calls them crooks.

He is so innocent that we find him ungrateful towards post office employees. Writing a second letter to God, asking Him to send the balance amount he needs but not through the mail makes us laugh. He is therefore, comical also.

Q. 50. How would the baker come everyday? Why did the children run to meet him?

or, How did the baker make his presence in the morning? What did the baker wear in the days when the author was a child?

Ans. The baker came with the 'jhang-jhang' sound of his bamboo stick. He carried his basket on his head, supporting it with one hand. With the other hand, he would bang the bamboo on the ground. Thus everyone would come to know of his arrival. He would greet with 'Good morning and place the basket on the vertical bamboo.

The baker then wore a shirt and trousers. These trousers were shorter than the full-length trousers. But they were longer than half pants. They reached just below the knees. Even today it is known as the dress of a 'pader'.

All children including the author eagerly awaited the arrival of baker to their house. When the baker came with loaves of bread in his basket the children had to be pushed away to take delivery. They would climb a bench or the parapet to peep into the basket. They loved bread bangles. When they got their share, they did not even care to brush their teeth or wash their mouths properly.

So he misled him by telling him about "the balcony" and the police. Max believed his story. To escape the police, he jumped down to "the balcony". But the fact was that there was neither police nor any balcony. It was only the product of Ausable's mind. He had actually jumped down to his death. Thus, Ausable got rid of Max by using his wisdom.
