Read the short story and answer the following questions.
The Little Prince
When I was six years old, I saw a magnificent picture in a book, called ‘True Stories
from Nature’. It was a picture of a boa constrictor swallowing an animal. Here is
a copy of the drawing:
In the book it said: “Boa constrictors swallow their prey whole, without chewing
it. After that they are not able to move, and they sleep for six months to digest
28
their prey.”
I thought deeply about the adventures of the jungle. And after some work with
a coloured pencil, I succeeded in making my first drawing. It looked something
like this:
I showed my drawing to the grown-ups, and asked them whether the drawing
frightened them. But they answered: “Frighten? Why should any one be
frightened by a hat?”
My drawing was not a picture of a hat. It was a picture of a boa constrictor

digesting an elephant. But since the grown-ups were not able to understand it, I
made another drawing. I drew the inside of a boa constrictor, so that the grown-
ups could see it clearly. They always need to have things explained.
[Adapted From ‘The Little Prince’ written and illustrated by Antoine de Saint Exupéry

Read the text and answer the following questions.
There once lived an old man named Abdu in the mountains near an African
village. The villagers respected him and went to him for advice. They often came
to Abdu to complain about the same problems.
One day, Abdu told them a joke, and everyone laughed loudly. After a couple of
minutes, he told them the same joke and only a few of them smiled.
38
When he told them the same joke for a third time, no one laughed anymore.
“Why are you telling us the same joke again? It is not funny anymore!” said the
people.
Abdu smiled and calmly said, “You can’t laugh at the same joke over and over.
So, why are you always crying about the same problem?”

terrible dragon that had come to live in the lake. The dragon attacked the village
every day. The villagers gave the dragon all their food, but the dragon just took
the food and still attacked the village. Then, they gave the dragon all their gold
and jewels. The dragon took everything, but was still was not satisfied. The king
sent his army to capture the dragon, but the dragon was too strong. The king
then decided that they must sacrifice the children. Each day a child was chosen
by lottery until the king’s daughter was chosen.
When Prince George heard this, he rode as fast as he could to the lake. George

Dear Diary,
Today it was my first day at school. I was happy to join Star
Secondary School. My classmates are very friendly especially Ali who
sits next to me. My Form teacher, Miss Kamini, is really kind and
helpful. However, as I don’t like Maths, I didn’t like the class of the
Maths teacher – Mr. Wesley. He has already given a lot of homework!
But I’m sure I will enjoy my school days there.

Dear Diary,
Today I really enjoyed my day at school. I met my Music teacher, Miss
Wendy, for the first time. She took the class to the Music Room
where she showed us the instruments. She also played my favourite
instrument- the guitar. I was excited and I’m sure I will do well in
this subject.
