King Lear lived long ago in Ireland. He had four children, two boys and two girls, whom he loved dearly.
However, their step mother was jealous. She wove the spell that turned the children into swans.
Lear was heartbroken. His beard and hair turned white and grief as he searched for his children. One day he
saw four swans. He did not realize who they were; although they recognized him as their father.

white as their father’s.

One day she went to the lion and said,” Good day, respected elder brother. Image it, I met an animal over there
who looked exactly like you, and he said to me, ‘Is there anyone in the world who dares stand up to me? If there is, let

Soon the rabbit took the lion a hill and, not going to near herself, pointed to a well from a distance, and

7. What can we learn from the story? Source
 The first time I saw her was when I was sitting in a bench at the bus stop near my office, intending to go
home. She stopped next to me, downloaded her basket, tried to save herself from the bright sunlight. It was hot and dry
noon, most people would rather stay at home, but she looked not too care about it. I was in no hurry to go home, so I
watched her. I didn’t understand why she became so interesting in my eyes.
A voice came along, calling her, as she tried to sit on the bench I was sitting. “Bakul jamu!” Hurriedly, she
packed her basket. She smiled at me, a smile for a stranger, but somehow, I saw it was beautiful, yet meaningful. I
could not help myself but to smile back at her. I watched her as she walked by, wondering what would happen next. I
didn’t know why, but she became important for me. Suddenly, I felt like I need to follow her.
She shook her head right and left, searching for an interval between the running engines, and I did the same.
We were sure enough that it was safe to cross the street. Then, I saw a car running fast toward her. All I could think
about was saving her. My hands reached her back, pushed her so hard, so that she could stay away from the running
car. I could hear the sound of people shouting and yelling, and then I just saw her; across the street and saved. I gave
her the best smile I had, just right before a huge pain I felt through my chest. Then, it was all dark; I could feel
nothing, just a feeling of relieved that I had done what I should.

Charles Robert Darwin was born in Shrewsbury, England, on February 12, 1809. He came from a wealthy
family and never had to work. He studied medicine and theology. In 1831 he graduated from University of Cambridge
with a degree of theology.
He began a career as a scientist quite by chance. On December 27,1831, 22 years old Charles Darwin joined
the crew of the HMS Beagle as a naturalist.The five years expedition collected hydrographic, geologic, and
meteorologic data from South America and many other regions around the world. Darwin's own observation on this
