The milkmaid and her pail
A milkmaid was on her way to the market. On her head she carried a large pail of milk. As she
walked along she thought of all the money she would have as soon as she sold the milk. "I shall buy
hens from Farmer Brown," she thought, "and they will lay eggs every day. I will sell the eggs to the
parson's wife. She will pay me well. With the money from the eggs, I will buy myself a new frock
and bonnet. What colour shall they be? I think green - a lovely green, for that colour becomes me
best. When I go to market, I will wear my new clothes. All the young men will want to speak to me,
of course, but I shall pretend not to see them. When they follow me, I shall walk proudly on. I'll toss
my head-like this." And with that, she tossed her head. The pail slipped off from her head, and the
milk spilled all over the ground.
The milkmaid brought her empty pail and her sad tale home to her mother. "Ah, my daughter," said
her mother, "Do not count your chickens before they are hatched."
Where was the milkmaid going?

A To sell eggs to the parson's wife.

B To buy hens from Farmer Brown.

The monkey and dolphin
A sailor, embarking on a voyage to Greece, took along a monkey to amuse him on shipboard. Off
the coast of Greece, near Athens, a violent storm arose. Angry waves beat against the ship and
dashed it to pieces. The sailor, his monkey, and all the crew jumped into the sea and swam for their
lives. A dolphin saw the monkey struggling in the water and came to his assistance. The dolphin
swam with the monkey on his back towards the shore. Then the dolphin, thinking the monkey was a
man, asked, "Are you,sir, an Athenian?"
"Certainly I am," the monkey replied, "and furthermore I am descended from one of the noblest
families of Athens."
"Then of course you know Piraeus," the dolphin said. The monkey did not know that Piraeus was
the famous harbor of Athens. "Oh yes," he said, "I know Piraeus very well. He is one of my closest
friends." The dolphin was so angered at these lies that he dived into the water and swam away,
leaving the monkey to flounder helplessly in the sea. Then he called back to the monkey,
"Those who tell falsehoods sooner or later find themselves in deep water."
Why did the sailor take along a monkey while going on a voyage?

A To get his help.

B For entertainment.
C In order to sell him abroad.

The Holiness of Saint Joan of Arc
Joan of Arc was a young girl of seventeen. She believed that if France could put together a strong
army, it could free itself from foreign rule. France was at that time ruled by Prince Henry of
England. Joan was a simple, uneducated daughter of a farmer. Girls those days did not have the
freedom they have now. It was amazing that a simple girl like Joan should have such ambitious
ideas. Her conviction that her country could be free was so strong that she met Prince Charles of
France and convinced him that he was the rightful ruler of the country. After a great deal of
persuasion, Joan of Arc convinced Prince Charles to allow her to command a force to relieve
Orleans. Prince Charles gave his permission and Joan of Arc led an army of French soldiers to the
city of Orleans which had been conquered by the English. So great was the courage of her
conviction that this young girl whipped up tremendous enthusiasm and patriotism among her
soldiers. They fought fearlessly against the English. The English soldiers were taken aback by the
fervour of the attacking French soldiers and retreated from Orleans. After this grand victory, she
persuaded Charles to be crowned as "King of France". She led the armies of France in many other
campaigns after this and restored her country’s national pride. Joan of Arc thus achieved what had
seemed an impossible task through her courage and determination. She continued to lead the French
army from victory to victory but was captured in an encounter in 1420 and handed over to the
English. The English put her through a trial which was a mockery of justice and burned her at the
stake as a witch. The French people adore Joan as their greatest national heroine. She was made a
saint in 1920.

Joan of Arc was a young girl of seventeen. She believed that if France could put together a strong
army, it could free itself from foreign rule. France was at that time ruled by Prince Henry of
England. Joan was a simple, uneducated daughter of a farmer. Girls those days did not have the
freedom they have now. It was amazing that a simple girl like Joan should have such ambitious
ideas. Her conviction that her country could be free was so strong that she met Prince Charles of
France and convinced him that he was the rightful ruler of the country. After a great deal of
persuasion, Joan of Arc convinced Prince Charles to allow her to command a force to relieve
Orleans. Prince Charles gave his permission and Joan of Arc led an army of French soldiers to the
city of Orleans which had been conquered by the English. So great was the courage of her
conviction that this young girl whipped up tremendous enthusiasm and patriotism among her
soldiers. They fought fearlessly against the English. The English soldiers were taken aback by the
fervour of the attacking French soldiers and retreated from Orleans. After this grand victory, she
persuaded Charles to be crowned as "King of France". She led the armies of France in many other
campaigns after this and restored her country’s national pride. Joan of Arc thus achieved what had
seemed an impossible task through her courage and determination. She continued to lead the French
army from victory to victory but was captured in an encounter in 1420 and handed over to the
English. The English put her through a trial which was a mockery of justice and burned her at the
stake as a witch. The French people adore Joan as their greatest national heroine. She was made a
saint in 1920.
