After some time, a goat passed by and saw the fox in the well. The goat asked, “Is the water sweet?” The clever fox wanted to trick the goat, so she said, “Oh yes! The water is very tasty. I drank so much that I might faint!” Hearing this, the goat believed the fox and jumped into the well to drink the water. As soon as the goat jumped in, the clever fox quickly climbed onto her back and jumped out of the well. Now, the goat was stuck inside and now she remembered her mother’s advice: “Be careful when listening to strangers.” She realized she had been fooled.

Moral of the story: Think before you act. Do not trust others blindly.

3. Read the following news item.

History becomes fun at this school
Mumbai: Students in the sixth grade of a certain school in Navi Mumbai love their history lessons thanks to a novel teaching aid. It is not surprising given the fact that their study material includes comic books and they use their textbooks for reference to put things into perspective. Besides, students are encouraged to tap other sources of information as well. During history classes, students pore over comic strips of historical periods, enact characters of emperors and tyrants, and have animated discussions on the subject. History has become fun. In the class students are asked to read the comic strip aloud, after which they break up into groups of four, discuss what they have heard and write a summary. Each group leader reads his group’s summary aloud and the whole class jumps into discussion and debate, adding points, disagreeing and qualifying points of view. A sixth grade student says, “It’s a lot of fun because everyone gets a chance to express themselves and the summary takes everyone’s ideas into account.” According to the school principal the comic strip format and visuals appeal to students. A historian feels that using comics in schools is a great idea. Comics and acting help students understand what characters in the story are actually thinking.

(adapted from The Times of India, New Delhi, October 2007)

Based on this news item, write a paragraph on what you think about this new method of teaching history.

Ans:
This new way of teaching history sounds fun and interesting. Students learn more about history when they use comic strips, act, and talk about it. Students don’t just have to memorize facts from textbooks, they can also read about past events, talk about them, and even act them out. This makes learning fun and interesting. Kids learn from each other when they share their thoughts and work together. The comic strip style also helps them picture the past and imagine what people in history were thinking. I like this idea because it brings history to life and gives kids a fun way to remember what they’ve learned.

Long-type questions & answers

1. What changed after English education started?
Ans: In 1835, the British introduced English education in India to train Indians for small government jobs. Indians were hired as clerks and translators for British officers. However, this education also helped Indians learn new ideas about freedom, equality, and rights. Over time, educated Indians realized that British rule was unfair and started working for independence. This education created a new generation of leaders, thinkers, and reformers, who later played an important role in India’s fight for freedom.

2. Why did the First War of Independence happen in 1857?
Ans: In 1857, the First War of Independence began because Indians were unhappy with British rule and unfair policies. Farmers had to pay high taxes, Indian rulers lost their kingdoms due to the Doctrine of Lapse, and Indian soldiers (sepoys) were treated unfairly compared to British soldiers.

The final spark was when the British introduced cartridges greased with cow and pig fat, which hurt the religious beliefs of Hindus and Muslims. This led to a rebellion in Meerut, which quickly spread across North India. Many kings, soldiers, and common people joined the fight against British rule.

3. What superstitions were spread by religious leaders?
Ans: During British rule, many religious leaders spread false beliefs and superstitions. People were told not to question old traditions. Practices like untouchability, child marriage, and the belief that women should not get an education were common. Many people were afraid to accept new ideas because they believed that change was bad.

However, reformers like Raja Ram Mohan Roy and Swami Dayanand Saraswati worked hard to end these false beliefs and promote equality and education. They taught people that everyone is equal and deserves respect.

4. What was special about Raja Ram Mohan Roy?
Ans: Raja Ram Mohan Roy (1772–1833) was a great thinker, reformer, and social leader. He worked to end bad customs like Sati (burning widows), child marriage, and untouchability. He believed that education was important for progress, so he started the Brahmo Samaj to spread modern ideas.

He also supported women’s education and equal rights for all. He fought against British policies and even went to England to talk about Indian rights. His ideas helped change Indian society and inspired many future leaders.
