    Understanding the Poem (pg-10)

    become our chosen friend.

    Ans a. The friend is a character from the book that seems to come alive.

    3. Or we sail along the page to some other land or age.


    What is the speaker trying to convey when the speaker uses the word
    ‘sail’?
    Ans 3. The feeling we get when we read the word ‘sail’ is a feeling of ease and
    smoothness. It is a soft and gentle movement. When we read a book we get
    transported into the age and land of the story as easily as sailing on water.

    4. Here’s our body in the chair, but our mind is over there.
    a. Where is the mind at this point?
    Ans a. The mind is in the land and the time of the story that we are reading.

    b. Why is there a distance between the mind and the body?


    Ans b. There is a distance between the mind and the body because the body is in
    the room but the mind is far away in another age and another land.

    c. What kind of feeling is this? Does it make you feel uncomfortable or


    happy?
    Ans c. This is a dreamy feeling and all book-lovers enjoy this feeling. It makes
    us happy.

    5. Each book is a magic box


    Why does the speaker refer to a book as a ‘magic box’?
    Ans 5. A book takes the reader into the wondrous world of surprises and
    exciting events, just like a magic box that brings out a whole load of exciting
    things, taking us by surprise.

    OUTCOME- Books bring many new ideas that help man to awake and see
    the world in a new way. This poem tells us about the importance of reading
    books.
    RAP QUESTION

    Q1. How does the speaker convince us that reading books is a magical
    experience?
    Ans1. Reading a book is a magical experience, according to the speaker because
    it introduces the reader to new ideas and experiences. It sparks our imagination.
    It takes us to new lands and makes us meet new people while being seated in
    our own homes. Just like how a magic box brings out exciting things, a book
    can also spring surprises for a book lover.
