What causes Pollution?
Sam was a hard working farmer, who was very poor. His family helped him plant crops such as wheat, rice etc.
His family used to work from day to night harvesting plants and once these plants were harvested, he used to sell the produce in the market. By this process he used to get money and was able to feed his family. The next day after selling the produce, Sam gathered all the waste and burnt it on his field. There was a big layer of smoke covering the nearby village due to this air pollution and the health of the villagers was in danger.
Fantastic Three
The Lost Badge
‘Where is my badge? Where is my badge?’ said Jack. I remember,’ I had put it in the drawer after coming from school yesterday.’ He removed his socks, handkerchiefs and t-shirts from the drawer to look for his school badge. ‘Mummy, where is my school badge?’ cried Jack.’ I have it, but before you collect it from me clear up the mess which you have made in your room,’ ordered Jack’s mother.
Jack requested his mother to give the badge as he was late for school. His mother told him to clean up his room and then his badge will be in your hand. He quickly cleared up his room and he ran to the school with the badge on his tshirt, the heavy school bag and lunch bag.
On the way while running he thought whether Ram would be able to come to school as he had a fever last night and then ran faster realising that he would be late for school. After reaching the school he met Ram and felt ecstatic and then James joined them. They all walked to the assembly hall for their daily prayer. After a usual day at school the final bell rang, everyone was screaming in the class and then formed a queue near the gate to leave their school and reach home. Jack, James and Ram were discussing what they were about to play in the evening. James suggested to play lock and key near his house and all agreed to James Idea and went to their home.
Lost Earring
As soon as Jack reached home he heard someone weeping. He ran towards the room and saw his mum crying loudly. ‘What happened mum?’ asked Jack. She looked pale and unhappy, and in a low voice, she replied, ‘I lost my gold earring.’ They were very precious to me as it was remembrance of my parents. The earrings were given to me on my wedding day.
Jack was curious and asked his mum ‘Where did you lose it, mum?’ Jack’s mum replied, ‘I lost it in the Cubbon Park, when I had been there for my evening walk.’ Jack eagerly asked, ‘How did you lose it?’ She told him, ‘it was very windy when I was exercising with my friend Latha. After exercising on my way home, I realised that my earring was missing”. So I ran with my friend back to the park to find it. We searched on the walking track, near the bushes, the exercising place but we were unable to find it.
Then the phone rings, ‘Tring-Tring!’ Jack picked up the call. It was James on the other side, asking Jack, ‘Why are you late?’ Jack explained that when he came home he saw his mother crying for her lost earring.
James anxiously asked ‘Ohhh!’ When did this happen? Where did it happen?’ James said Ram and I are coming now and cut the call ….
The Three friends
The bell rings ting tong, ting tong! Jack opened the door and a voice came ` Hi! Jack”. Jack says “Hi Ram and James”. James asked, ‘where is your mum?’ Jack says, ‘she is in our room and she is crying.’ James and Ram replied, ‘let's go and meet her.’ They went to the room and asked Jack’s mum in which park had you lost it? Jack’s mum said it was in Cubbon Park. They asked her which part of the park she walked. Jack’s mum said in the North side of the park, near the place of the Dog Show. Opposite to it was the library and beside the library is the place where you get rented bicycles. James, Ram and Jack quickly sat in an auto and went to the park. After they reached the park they saw tall trees with thick branches, birds chirping, dogs roaming around. They decided that each of them would go in different directions- like one near the bush, one on the walking track and one near the exercise place. Then all went to different places to find the earrings. Each of them carefully saw every single place carefully. After searching for half an hour, they were tired. Jack was found in the exercising place, and asked the security and other people about the earring. James searched the tracks near the sides of the track. Ram searched near the bushes, and near the bush he saw something flashed. It was the earring! Ram screamed” Hurry! James and Jack, I have found it”. James and Jack ran towards Ram as quickly as they could. Jack and James asked “Where is it? Where is it?” Ram said it's in my hand. They asked him to show and then Ram gave it in Jack's hand. Jack said this is my mom's and hugs him and said thank you. They caught an auto and went to Jack’s home as soon as possible. They reached home and Jack said, “there you go… mum”. His mum felt so happy and stopped crying and took the earring in her hand and she hugged them all.
She said she would prepare a lovely dinner for them, as you have found my precious earring.
