Que : 1. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow : It happened many years ago. I was in the fifth standard at the government school, Kambelpur, now called Atak. One day, I went to school with four rupees in my pocket to pay the school fees and the fund. When I got there I found that the teacher who collected the fees, Master Ghulam Mohammad, was on leave and so the fees would be collected the next day. All through the day the coins simply sat in my pocket, but once school got over and I was outside, they began to speak. All right. Coins don't talk. They jingle but I am telling you, that day they actually spoke ! One coin said, “what are you thinking about ? Those fresh “Jalebis coming out of the Kadhai' in the shop over there, they are not coming out for nothing. “Jalebis' are meant to be eaten and only those with money in their pocket can eat them, and money isn't for nothing. Money is meant to be spent and only they spend it, who like Jalebis.” Questions : (1) Why didn't the writer pay the school fees on the day he brought money to school ? (2) What were the coins saying to him ? (3) Do you think the coins were misguiding him ? (4) Who could eat Jalebis ? (5) Find the words in the passage which mean : (a) The money you pay in school. (b) The place where children go to be educated. |
