Suresh was a very intelligent boy who always stood first in the class. Ram 
was his best friend.
One  day  Ram  invited  Suresh  on  his  birthday.  Suresh  bought  a  set  of 
interesting books as a gift for his friend. As he was walking down the lane to 
Ram’s house someone threw banana peels on him.
“How uncivilised,’ he thought, “Why cannot people use dustbins?’ He 
looked around and spotted a dustbin. He picked up the peel and threw it in 
there. Most of the garbage was lying around the bin with flies all over.
As Suresh moved ahead, there was a bad smell coming from the open drain 
which was chocked due to the garbage.
Covering the nose with his handkerchief, he reached Ram’s house. Several 
of his friends were already there. He meet Ram’s parents and asked, “Ram, 
why is your locality so dirty? Do not the municipal corporation people 
come to clean it?”
Ram’s mother replied, “Son, those people do come. Dustbins are also 
there but people are not in a habit of putting the garbage in the bin. They 
conveniently throw it on the road. Hence cleanliness is not maintained.”
Next day in the classroom Suresh discussed this with his class teacher. His 
class teacher said, “You are right Suresh. Dirty and unclean surroundings 
are the cause of many diseases.
It is the job of the municipal corporation to clean the city but we need to 
give support to them. Well, let’s organise a cleanliness drive in Ram’s 
colony on Sunday.”

On  Sunday,  all  the  students 
and  the  class  teacher  went 
there.  Everyone  carried  a 
broom  and  a  bucket.  They 
swept the road, collected the 
garbage and put them in the 
bin.  They  cleaned  the  drain 
and  put  insecticides.  They 
also covered the dustbins.
In no time the entire colony 
was clean. Everyone in the colony came out and saw the children’s efforts 
and enthusiasm.
The teacher then talked about the importance of cleanliness to them. The 
people of the colony felt ashamed and realised that is their duty to keep 
their surroundings clean.
Some ways in which everyone can maintain cleanliness are as follows :
Throw garbage at fixed places.
Put garbage in a bin with lid.
Do not throw garbage in open drains, parks or other public places.
Avoid spitting in the open.
Teaching the importance of cleanliness to someone.
Get together to clean litter in the school/colony.
Plant a sapling and take care of it.
Be responsible towards your surroundings.

Sagar was a 
 boy. He remained quiet in class even as well. All the 
other children made fun of him. This made Sagar sad. 
So,  Sagar  thought  over  it  for  a  few  days  and  went  to  speak  to  his 
teacher. He said, “Ma’am, is there any good in talking a lot?”
The teacher smiled and said, “Toads and frogs 
 night and day, but 
no  one  pays  any  attention  to  them.  But  the  rooster 
  at  a  certain 
time early morning and wakes up everyone.”
Saying this the teacher 
 at her student and said, “This proves 
that  no  good  comes  out  of  talking  a  lot.  When  you 
  too  much, 
sometimes  you  may  say  things  without  thinking,  and  it  may  hurt 
someone’s feelings. What is

Respect Others
We  must  always  respect  others.  Respecting  means  giving  your 
consideration of somebody’s preferences, feelings, thoughts and ideas.
In  our  nation,  every  person  deserves  respect,  irrespective  of  any 
differences.  We  should  respect  our  elders,  including  our  parents  and 
teachers, and love our siblings and friends. If you want respect from others, 
you first need to have self-respect.
From  childhood,  our  parents 
and  elders  taught  us  how  to 
respect others. Respecting our 
nation’s law and regulations is 
also essential. Our country has 
people  with  different  moral 
values,  religion  and  cultural 
background.  But  irrespective 
of  all  the  factors,  we  should 
respect  everyone.  Respect 
comes from the qualities, abilities and achievements of whoever you want 
to respect. Respect is a sign of ethical behaviour. We develop great respect 
for people we consider honest and lose respect for those we discover to be 
false and greedy, and so we may try to respect only those who are truly 
worthy of our respect. We may learn that jobs and relationships become 
unbearable if we receive no respect in them. 
If you want people to respect you, then you have to respect them too. If you 
will not respect the person, that will also not respect you. For a better life, 
it’s very important to be respected by the people around you.
Keeping your promises is one of the most significant action you can make to 
start getting respect from others.

Boats sail on the rivers
And ships sail on the seas,
But clouds that sail across the sky.
Are far prettier than these.
There are bridges on the rivers
As pretty as you please,
But the bow that bridges heaven
And overtops the trees,
And builds a road from earth to sky
Is far prettier than these.

It  was  a  hot  day.  The  Sun  was  shining 
brightly  in  the  sky.  A  little  frog  was  jumping 
here and there. He was feeling very hot and 
tired.  Suddenly,  he  saw  a  pond  filled  with 
water. He quickly jumped into it.
The frog swam in the cool water for a long 
time. He felt better. 
He came out of the pond. He started 
looking  for  a  cool  place  to  rest.  He 
saw  a  big  rock.  He  jumped  onto  it. 
Then he looked around. He spotted a 
bush  on  top  of  a  hill.  He  thought, 
‘That  seems  to  be  a  good  place  to 
rest.’ He started hopping 
 it. 
There was a tiger sitting under a tree. 
He was looking for food. He saw the 
frog  and  thought,  ‘I  am  hungry 
and cannot find any big animal. 
Let  me  eat  this  frog  at 
once.’  He 
  on 
the  frog  and  caught 
him.

A Clever Frog 
This lesson is about a little frog who was caught by a tiger. But by his cleverness he got himself 
free from the clutches of tiger. So, we should never lose hope in any situation.

About The Lesson
The frog was very 
. 
But he was clever. He said, 
‘wait’,  Mr.  Tiger.  I  know 
you want to eat me. But I 
am so dirty. Let me wash 
myself  first.  Then  you 
can  eat  me.  I  will  be 
clean and tasty to eat.'
The tiger thought for some time. Then he said, “I think you are right. I 
should not eat a dirty frog. I can be sick. Go and wash yourself quickly. I 
am waiting here for you. But come back soon.” Saying this, the tiger let 
the frog go. 
Hop!  Hop!  Hop!  The  frog 
hopped  to  the  pond  and 
jumped  into  it.  Then  he 
  to  the  tiger.  The 
tiger  smiled  at  him.  The 
frog  turned  around.  He 
swam  away  as  fast  he 
could. Soon the tiger could 
not see him anywhere. 
The  tiger  went  near  the 
pond. He waited and waited 
for the frog to come out. He 
waited for a very long time. 
Then  he  lay  down  by  the 
side  of  the  pond.  Soon,  he 
was fast asleep.

Importance of Games in Our Life
It is essential for a human 
being to live a happy life. 
To  live  a  happy  life,  it  is 
necessary to be healthy. A 
healthy mind in a healthy 
body is essential, and to 
live  a  healthy  life,  a 
person must be physically 
and  mentally  fit.  Games 
play a crucial role in the 
life  of  human  beings  to 
keep  them  healthy  and 
happy. Both indoor and outdoor games help people in living happy life.
Games are significant for a person to live a healthy life. Games not only keep 
humans physically fit but also help in keeping them mentally fit. Playing 
games is very important for the fitness of the body for people of every age.
Still, they are most important for young age children, as they require more 
attention for physical and mental growth during their growing period.
Outdoor games like running, football, kabaddi help us develop physical 
fitness, and indoor games like chess, carom etc, help build concentration 
and  make  us  mentally  fit.  We  should  avoid  playing  games  or  mobiles 
phones as they make us more addicted to them.
Team in games teach us the lesson of unity and brotherhood. Rules in 
games teach us discipline. When you play games, you will develop honesty, 
teamwork, leadership, and strategic planning. Hence games make us fit 
both mentally are physically.
