Life is Like An Echo

A little boy came running excitedly to his mother saying: "Mom,

there is a boy out there in the woods who is mocking me.

Everything I say he says after me. If I say: "Hello," he says: "Hello."

When I say "Who are you?" he says: "Who are you?" "So I got mad

and jumped over the fence and went into the woods to find him.

But he wasn't anywhere. So I yelled, "I'll punch you in the nose."

And he said the very same thing, exactly as I had said it." The boy's

mother told him, "That is only an echo answering you Monu. If you

had said: 'I love you,' it would have said the same to you." There is a

similar story about a dog who went into a room full of mirrors. He

eventually died of exhaustion trying to fight his mirrored 'enemies.'

If he had only wagged his tail once, he would have had all of them

wagging their tails in friendship.

Life is like an echo or a mirror: we get out of it what we put in. So,

always do good

AROUND THE WORLD

COMPREHENSION- SIOUX LIFE

Many years ago, the Sioux tribes lived

on the grasslands, called the plains.
They killed bison for meat. Some
called these animals buffalo. The
Sioux cut the meat in strips and dried
it in the sun to make jerky. Buffalo
hides were used to make tepees. The
hides were wrapped around long
poles, making tall tents. The tepees
could be taken down and moved
around from place to place to follow
the buffalo herds. Canoes were used
for traveling down a river or crossing a
lake. The Sioux made buckskin
clothing out of deer hides. Sometimes
they decorated their clothes with
colourful beads. A group of Sioux living together was called a
tribe. The leader of the tribe was called the chief. The chief often
wore a long headdress of eagle feathers.

Read the passage carefully and answer the questions
given below:-:

The kangaroo is found only in Australia. There are some 50 living

species distributed throughout the continent. Some are no bigger
than rabbits and some can even climb trees. It is the red
kangaroo that is famous as Australias national symbol.
A full grown male kangaroo stands taller than a
man. His tail is often called his third leg. His
huge hind legs can send him sailing over a nine-
foot fence with ease. A twitch of his tail can break
a mans leg like a matchstick. Female kangaroos
have a pouch, which is basically a fold of skin
with a single opening. A new born kangaroo is
less than an inch long and is not ready for the
world. So, the baby kangaroo, or joey, has to
spend some time in its mothers pouch.

Answer the questions :

1. In which continent do we find kangaroos ?

2. What is a joey ?

3. Which kangaroo is Australias national symbol ?

Find the meaning of these words from the dictionary :

2. pouch
