II. Reading with Comprehension:
Many years ago a very poor peasant bought a plot of land. One day while he was plowing it, he came upon an iron box that was buried in the soil. When he opened it, he was astonished to discover that it was filled with valuable gemstones and coins made of silver and gold. Since he owned the land where it was found, he could have kept the treasure for himself. But the peasant was a truly honest man. He at once went to the peasant from whom he had bought the land and showed him the treasure. “What is this?” asked the previous owner of the plot. The peasant told him the story of how the treasure was found. But the previous owner refused to accept it, saying, “The treasure would have been mine if I had found it. I think it must have been hidden in the plot by my ancestors. As you have found it, it belongs to you.” Finally, the two men decided to divide the treasure into two equal parts. The peasant and previous owner of the plot would each take half. Those were the days when people were not greedy. 1. What was the hidden treasure that the peasant found? 2. What did the peasant do right after he found the treasure? 3. Why didn’t the previous owner of the land want to take the treasure from the peasant? 4. What lesson does this story teach? 5. Do you think that people today are more greedy or less greedy than the character in this story? Explain your answer.
III. Creative Expression: Write a letter to your friend inviting him/her to your village to spend Dasara holidays. Write about your family and the places where you will take him / her.
IV. Conventions of Writing: Answer any 3 of the following questions. 1. Why did the town mouse want to go to the countryside? 2. How can you say that the town mouse was not comfortable in the country?

    A week later the Town Mouse sent a letter to the Country Mouse explaining why he left. The letter stated “ Dear Country Mouse, Thank you for your hospitality but I cannot take the country life.

    Bursting through the door I yell, “I found gold”. The older grey bearded man behind the shady glass counter slowly wobbled to my service, clinching his aged wooden Cain in an uneasy manner. I gently lift the gold coin from my pocket as if its beauty were fragile. His loud wheezing is immediately interrupted by a cough. Passing him the coin I watch in slow motion as he brings up a shaky magnifying glass. Adjusting his low toned voice in a clearer manner he says “Son, where did you find this coin?” I answer “I found it in an abandoned barn”. With eyes glowing from astonishment he says “there are only 20 of these coins known to…

    Greed In King Midas

    • 878 Words

    King Midas wanted nothing but gold. He loved his shiny, golden coins more than anything else. The room he had to hold his money was nothing short of capacious. One day a satyr was brought before him. He recognized the satyr. It was Dionysus’s main satyr. The God and the satyr were coming back from a trip. While on their way back, the Satyr had too much to drink. He decided a nap would be appropriate and fell asleep in the king’s garden. The king decided to let the satyr stay and kept him for ten days. After those days were over, he took the satyr back to Dionysus. The God, delighted by Midas’s kindness, gave him one wish. Midas knew exactly what he wanted, a touch that could turn anything into gold. Dionysus warned the foolish king that he would regret his wish, but he granted the wish anyway. The King was told to wait until the next morning to get his golden touch. When Midas awoke the next morning, he reached for the nearest thing to see if it would turn to gold, and it did. He was so happy, for he thought he would be the richest king ever.. He probably was for a while, until he realized that everything he touched would turn to gold. Midas soon realized that he could not even touch food or drink without it turning to gold. It was in that moment that he felt his heart shatter. His touch was toxic. He would starve. It was then that his daughter ran…

    I thought this course had a ton of very valuable information. I learned a lot about all the different stages of development including the milestones that should be accomplished during each of the stages of life. It is amazing that interference with development early in life can affect your development throughout the stages, but there are ways that you can learn different skills that may help you at different times in your life. I really enjoyed learning that nothing is set in stone and that the stages we learned about are approximations and that everyone is different and that is it important to embrace the differences between everyone.…

    The main theme of the story is that greed destroys all in its path, and sometimes gets in the way of the truth and takes the place of love. In the story the mother and father are loveless and greedy. Neither the mother nor the father showed his or her love for the children. Their greed consumed and corrupted their innocent children, which ended in a tragic death. Greed consumes the mother's thoughts and distorts her outlook on life. She thinks that money is much more important than anything else, including her children, and no matter how much money she acquires she can never be happy. Greed has no boundaries with social inequality; however the innocent pays the maximum price. People are never happy with what they have and it's human nature. The more one gets the more one wants. Greed is powerful, and easy to accept to.…

    People think that the relationship between schools and students is simple; students study in schools and schools educate students. Schools should provide enough resources and good living surroundings to students, while students should behave well and accomplish schoolwork in schools. However, the connection between schools and students is complementary. Both schools and students give to and gain from each other at the same time, especially with school pride. Students spend their money and time in cheering for schools so that schools can earn reputation, while schools provide advanced technology and good teaching back in return to students so that students can learn more. School pride is one of the most important responsibilities that students should fulfill in schools, since it helps show what the school atmosphere is and helps build a harmonious community. Even though many people cast doubt on the influence of school pride in schools, school pride has certain impact on both schools and students. As a result, students should be proud of their school, since it not only encourages the school spirit, but also helps improve the learning environment.…
