INNOVATIVE ENGLISH NOTES BOOK I
LITERATURE AND TYPES
1. It is a body of written works. The name has traditionally been applied to those imaginative works of
poetry and prose distinguished by the intentions of their authors and the perceived aesthetic
excellence of their execution. Literature may be classified according to a variety of systems,
including language, national origin, historical period, genre, and subject matter.
2. Two main types
a. Fiction
i. Fiction refers to literature created from the imagination. Mysteries, science fiction,
romance, fantasy, historical fiction, horror, crime thrillers are all fiction genres.
b. Non fiction
i. Nonfiction is literature that, regardless of the subject matter, has a simple goal: to
provide information. It should be based on facts and conclusions of the author's
research or expertise, as opposed to the creativity of the author's imagination.
ii. History, Biographies, autobiographies, and memoirs, Travel guides and travelogues,
Academic texts, Philosophy and insight, Journalism, Self-help and instruction, Guides

9. The Twilight Zone
SUMMARY
Mr. Arthur and Mrs. Arthur (Norma) are a married couple. The husband and wife receive a box containing a
button. Shortly after receiving the button, Mr. Steward appears at their door and offers them the deal. He
makes it clear that whoever pushes the button does not have to see the unknown person die. The wife, Norma,
sees it as an opportunity to make money. The husband, Arthur, views pushing the button as murder. The
couple debate for a few days on whether or not to push the button.
Eventually Norma pushes the button, even though her husband views it as murder, and her husband dies in a
train accident as a result. She receives a check for $50,000 for her husband’s life insurance. Norma accuses
Mr. Steward of lying, and he asks her if she ever really knew her husband. “Button, Button” inspired an
episode of “The Twilight Zone” as well as a major motion picture called “The Box,” starring Cameron Diaz and
James Marsden.
PAGE NO 1
The package was lying by the front door — a cube-shaped carton sealed with tape, their name and address
printed by hand: "Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Lewis, 217-E, Thirty-seventh Street, New York, New York 10016."
Norma picked it up, unlocked the door, and went into the apartment. It was just getting dark. After she had
put the lamb chops in the broiler, she sat down to open the package. Inside the carton was a push-button
unit fastened to a small wooden box. A glass dome covered the button. Norma tried to lift it off, but it was
locked in place. She turned the unit over and saw a folded piece of paper scotch-taped to the bottom of the
box. She pulled it off: "Mr. Steward will call on you at 8.00 P.M.”
Norma put the button unit beside her on the couch. She reread the typed note, smiling. A few moments
later, she went back into the kitchen to make the salad. The doorbell rang at eight o'clock. “I’ll get it,"
Norma called from the kitchen. Arthur was in the living room, reading. There was a small man in the
hallway. He removed his hat as Norma opened the door. "Mrs. Lewis?" he inquired politely. "Yes?" "I'm Mr.
Steward" "Oh, Yes." Norma repressed a smile. She was sure now it was a sales pitch. "May I come in?" asked

Mr. Steward. "I'm rather busy," Norma said. "Don't you want to know what it is?" Norma turned back. Mr.
Steward's tone had been offensive. "No. I don't think so," she replied.
"It could prove very valuable," he told her. "Monetarily?" she challenged. Mr. Steward nodded, "Monetarily,"
he said. Norma frowned. She didn't like his attitude. "What are you trying to sell?" she asked. "I'm not
selling anything," he answered. Arthur came out of the living room. "Something wrong?" Mr. Steward
introduced himself. "Oh, the—" Arthur pointed toward the living room and smiled. "What is that gadget,
anyway?"

"It won't take long to explain." replied Mr. Steward. "May I come in?" "If you're selling something —,"
Arthur said. Mr. Steward shook his head. “I’m not." Arthur looked at Norma. "Up to you." she said. He
hesitated. "Well, why not?" he said. They went into the living room and Mr. Steward sat in Norma's chair. He
reached into an inside coat pocket and withdrew a small sealed envelope. "Inside here is a key to the bell-
unit dome," he said. He set the envelope on the chair side-table. "The bell is connected to our office."
"What's it for?" asked Arthur. "If you push the button," Mr. Steward told him, "somewhere in the world
someone you don't know will die. In return for which you will receive a payment of $50,000." Norma stared
at the small man. He was smiling. "What are you talking about?" Arthur asked him. Mr. Steward looked
surprised. "But I’ve just explained," he said. "Is this a practical joke?" asked Arthur. "Not at all. The offer is

completely genuine." "You aren't making sense," Arthur said. "You expect us to believe —" "Who do you
represent?" demanded Norma.
Mr. Steward looked embarrassed. "I'm afraid I'm not at liberty to tell you that," he said. "However, I assure
you, the organization is of international scope." "I think you'd better leave," Arthur said, standing. Mr.
Steward rose. "Of course." "And take your button unit with you." "Are you sure you wouldn't care to think
about it for a day or se: Arthur picked up the button unit and the envelope and thrust them into Mr.
Steward's hands. He walked into the hall and pulled open the door. "I'll leave my card," said Mr. Steward. He
placed it on the table by the door. When he was gone, Arthur tore it in half and tossed the pieces onto the
table. Norma was still sitting on the sofa. "What do you think it was?" she asked. "I don't care to know," he
answered. She tried to smile but couldn't. "Aren't you curious at all?" "No." He shook his head. After Arthur
had returned to his book, Norma went back to the kitchen and finished washing the dishes. "Why won't you
talk about it?" Norma asked. Arthur's eyes shifted as he brushed his teeth. He looked at her reflection in the
bathroom mirror.

"Doesn't it intrigue you?" "It offends me," Arthur said. "I know, but" - Norma rolled another curler in her
hair--"doesn't it intrigue you, too?" "You think it's a practical joke?" she asked as they went into the room.
"If it is, its a sick one." Norma sat on her chair and said after a moment. "Maybe it's some kind of
psychological research." Arthur shrugged. "Could be." "Maybe some eccentric millionaire is doing it."
"Maybe." "Wouldn't you like to know?" Arthur shook his head. "Why?" "Because it's immoral," he told her.
Norma slid beneath the covers. "Well, I think it's intriguing," she said. Arthur turned off the lamp. "Good
night," he said. Norma closed her eyes. "Fifty thousand dollars," she thought. In the morning, as she left the
apartment, Norma saw the card halves on the table. Impulsively, she dropped them into her purse. She
locked the front door and joined Arthur in the elevator.
While she was on her coffee break, she took the card halves from her purse and held the torn edges
together. Only Mr. Steward's name and telephone number were printed on the card. After lunch, she took
the card halves from her purse again and scotch-taped the edges together. "Why am I doing this?" she
thought. Just before five, she dialed the number. "Good afternoon," said Mr. Steward's voice. Norma almost
hung up but restrained herself. She cleared her throat. "This is Mrs. Lewis," she said. "Yes, Mrs. Lewis," Mr.
Steward sounded pleased. "I'm curious." "That's natural," Mr. Steward said. "Not that I believe a word of
what you told us." "Oh, it’s quite authentic," Mr. Steward answered. "Well, whatever -" Norma swallowed.

When you said someone would die, what did you mean?“ "Exactly that," he answered. "It could be anyone.
All we guarantee is that you don't know them. And, of course, that you wouldn't have to watch them die.“
"For $50,000,"Norma said. "That is correct.“ She made a scoffing sound. "That's crazy.“ Nonetheless, that is
the proposition," Mr. Steward said. "Would you like me to return the button unit?“ Norma stiffened.
"Certainly not." She hung up angrily. The package was lying by the front door; Norma saw it as she left the
elevator. Well, of all the nerve, she thought. She glared at the carton as she unlocked the door. I just won't
take it in, she thought. She went inside and started dinner. Later, she went into the front hall. Opening the
door, she picked up the package and carried it into the kitchen, leaving it on the table. She sat in the living
room, looking out the window. After a while, she went back into the kitchen to turn the cutlets in the
broiler. She put the package in a bottom cabinet. She'd throw it out in the morning. "May be some eccentric
millionaire is playing games with people," she said.
Arthur looked up from his dinner. "I don't understand you. "What does that mean? "Let it go," he told her.
Norma ate in silence. Suddenly, she put her fork down. "Suppose it's a genuine offer?" she said. Arthur
stared at her. "Suppose it's a genuine offer? "All right, suppose it is?" He looked incredulous. "What would
you like to do? Get the button back and push it? Murder someone? Norma looked disgusted. "Murder.“"How
would you define it? "If you don't even know the person?" Norma said. Arthur looked astounded, "Are you
saying what I think you are? "If it's some old Chinese peasant ten thousand miles away? Some diseased
native in the Congo? "How about some baby boy in Pennsylvania?" Arthur countered. "Some beautiful little
girl on the next block? "Now you're loading things. "The point is, Norma," he continued. "What's the
difference who you kill? It's still murder. "The point is," Norma broke in, "if it's someone you've never seen
in your life and never will see, someone whose death you don't even have to know about, you still wouldn't
push the button? Arthur stared at her, appalled. "You mean you would? "Fifty thousand dollars, Arthur.

You don't really think they'd kill somebody, do you?“ Arthur didn't answer. She saw his hands trembling.
After a while, he got up and left. When he'd gone to work, Norma remained at the table, staring into her
coffee. I'm going to be late, she thought. She shrugged. What difference did it make? While she was stacking

dishes, she turned abruptly, dried her hands, and took the package from the bottom cabinet. Opening it, she
set the button unit on the table. She stared at it for a long time before taking the key from its envelope and
removing the glass dome. She stared at the button. How ridiculous, she thought. All this furor over a
meaningless button. Reaching out, she pressed it down. For us, she thought angrily. She shuddered. Was it
happening? A chill of horror swept across her. In a moment, it had passed. She made a contemptuous noise.
Ridiculous, she thought. To get so worked up over nothing. She threw the button unit, dome, and key into
the wastebasket and hurried to dress for work.
She had just turned over the supper steaks when the telephone rang. She picked up the receiver. "Hello?
"Mrs. Lewis? "Yes? "This is the L`enox Hill Hospital.“ She felt unreal as the voice informed her of the subway
accident--the shoving crowd, Arthur pushed from the platform in front of the train. She was conscious of
shaking her head but couldn't stop. “As she hung up, she remembered Arthur's life insurance policy for
$25,000, with double indemnity for "No." She couldn't seem to breathe. She struggled to her feet and
walked into the kitchen numbly. Something cold pressed at her skull as she removed the button unit from
the wastebasket. There were no nails or screws visible. She couldn't see how it was put together. Abruptly,
she began to smash it on the sink edge, pounding it harder and harder, until the wood split. She pulled the
sides apart, cutting her fingers without noticing. There were no transistors in the box, no wires or tubes.
The box was empty. She whirled with a gasp as the telephone rang. Stumbling into the living room, she
picked up the receiver "Mrs. Lewis?" Mr. Steward asked. It wasn't her voice shrieking so; it couldn't be. "You
said I wouldn't know the one that died! "My dear lady," Mr. Steward said. "Do you really think you know
your husband?"

Summary
"Clearing in the Sky" is the story of a man who is a picture of determination and strong will to live an active
life to the age of seventy despite medical advice with regard to his weak heart. It is a first person narrative.
The father of the narrator is the hero of the story. It runs parallel to or in contrast with the advice of the
doctors.
The father wants to show something special to his son: his farm on the mountain slope. He grows yams,
tomatoes and potatoes on the farm. He takes his son there on a long walk over the steep paths in the hot sun.
Forty years back, the doctors had told him to stop all activity and live the few days he had left him. But he
lived to be seventy and raised a family of five children. During their walk, they remember the old trees and
woods which took them thirty years to develop and grow. Trees like alfalfa, hickory, pines had grown tall upon
sixty feet high. They hunt the rabbits and the fox squirrels for a meal. They have a coffee tree in their woods.
There is a clearing of not more than ¾ of an acre. This is the land that his father has cultivated and fenced to
protect it from wild animals. He has chosen this piece of land because he knows anything grown in new
ground like this has a better flavour. He climbs up the steep path to reach this farm. The reason is that
climbing makes him a fit smart man in spite of his age. He was 22 and his wife 19 when they cleared this place
and cultivated it to grow corn, beans and pumpkins in addition to other vegetables. The son also remembers
to have lost his little wooden plough in a furrow. The old man becomes nostalgic and remembers the places.
He has lived an active life as contrary to doctors' advice. He is a lover of nature as well.

"This is the way, Jess," said my father, pointing with his cane across the deep valley below us. 'I want to show
you something you've not seen for many years! "Isn't it too hot for you to do much walking?" I wiped the
streams of sweat from my face to keep them from stinging my eyes. I didn't want to go with him. I had just
finished walking a half mile uphill from my home to his. I had carried a basket of dishes to Mom. There
were two slips in the road and I couldn't drive my car. And I knew how hot it was. It was 97 in the shade. "I
knew that from January until April my father had gone to eight different doctors. One of the doctors had
told him not to walk the length of a city block. He told my father to get a taxi to take him home. But my
father walked home five miles across the mountain and told Morn what the doctor had said. Forty years ago
a doctor had told him the same thing. And he had lived to raise a family of five children. He had done as
much hard work in those years as any man.
"I could not protest to him now. He had made up his mind. When he made up his mind to do a thing, he
would do it if he had to crawl. He didn't care if it was 97 in the shade or 16 below zero. 1 wiped more sweat
from my face as I followed him down the little path between the pasture and the meadow. Suddenly he
stopped at the edge of the meadow, took his pocket knife from his pocket, and cut a wisp of alfalfa. He held
it up between him and the sun. "Look at this, Jess!" he bragged. "Did you ever see better alfalfa grow out of
the earth?" "Ifs the best looking hay I've ever seen any place," I said, "I've not seen better looking alfalfa
even in the Little Sandy River bottoms!" "When I bought this little farm, everybody around here said I'd end
up with my family at the country poor farm if I tried to make a living here," he bragged again. "It took me
thirty years to improve these old worn-out acres to make them do this!" "I like these woods, Jess," my father
said. "Remember when we used to come here to hunt for squirrels? Remember when we sat beneath these
hickories and the squirrels threw green hickory shells down at us? The morning wind just at the break of
the day in August was so good to breathe. I can't forget those days. And in October when the rabbits were
ripe and the frosts had come and the hickory leaves had turned yellow and when the October winds blew
they rustled the big leaves from the trees and they fell like yellow rain drops to the ground! Remember," he
said, looking at me with his pale blue eyes. "How our hounds, Rags and Scout, would make the rabbits
circle! These were good days, Jess! That's why I remember this mountain. "Is that what you wanted to show
me?" I asked.

PAGE NO 2
"Oh, no, no," he said as he began to climb the second bluff that lifted abruptly from the flat toward the sky.
The pines on top of the mountain above us looked as if the fingers of their long boughs were fondling the
substance of a white cloud. Whatever my father wanted me to see was on top of the highest point of my
farm. And with the exception of the last three years, I had been over this point many times. I had never seen
anything extraordinary upon this high point of rugged land. I had seen the beauty of many wild flowers, a
few rock cliffs, and many species of hard and soft-wood trees. "Why do you take the path straight up the
point?” I asked. “Look at these other paths! What are they doing here?" Within the distance of a few yards,
several paths left the main path and circled around the slope, gradually climbing the mountain. "All paths
go to the same place," he answered. "Then why do you take the steep one?" I asked. "I'll explain later," he
spoke with half-breaths. He rested a minute to catch his second wind while I managed to stand on the path
by holding to a little sapling, because it was too steep for my feet to hold unless I braced myself. Then my
father started to move slowly up the path again, supporting himself with his cane. I followed at his heels.
Just a few steps in front of him, a fox squirrel crossed the path and ran up a hickory tree. "See that, Jess!" he
shouted. "Yes, I did," I answered. "That brings back something to me," he said, "brings back the old days to
see a fox squirrel but this won't bring back as much as something I'm going to show you." My curiosity was
aroused. I thought he had found a new kind of wild grass, or an unfamiliar herb, or a new kind of tree. For I
remembered the time he had found a coffee tree in our woods. It is, as far as I know, the only one of its kind
growing in our country. Only twice did my father stop to wipe the sweat from his eyes as he climbed the
second steep bluff toward the fingers of the pines. We reached the limbless trunks of these tall straight
pines whose branches reached toward the blue depth of the sky, or the white cloud was now gone. I saw a
clearing, a small clearing of not more than three-fourths of an acre in the heart of this wilderness right on
the mountain top. Now, you're comin' to something, son," he said as he pushed down the top wire so he
could cross the fence. "This is something' I want you to see!“ "Who did this?" I asked. "Who cleared this land
and fenced it? Fenced it against what?“ "Stray cattle if they ever get out of the pasture," he answered me
curtly. "I cleared this land. And I fenced it!"

PAGE NO 3

"But why did you ever climb to this mountain top and do this?" I asked him. "Look at the fertile land we
have in the valley!“"Fertile," he laughed as he reached down and picked up a double handful of leaf-rot
loam. "This is the land, son! This is it. I've tried all kinds of land!" Then he smelled the dirt. He whiffed and
whiffed the smell of this wild dirt into his nostrils. "Just like fresh air," he said as he let the dirt run between
his fingers. "It's pleasant to touch, too," he added. "But, Dad — said, "I know what you think," he
interrupted. "Your mother thinks the same thing, She wonders why I ever climbed this mountain top to
raise my potatoes, yams, and tomatoes! But, Jess," he almost whispered, "anything grown in new ground
like this has a better flavor. Wait until my tomatoes are ripe. You'll never taste sweeter tomatoes in your
life." "They'll soon be ripe, too," I said as I looked at the dozen or more rows of tomatoes on the lower side of
the patch. Then above the tomatoes were a half-dozen rows of yams. Above the yams were, perhaps, three
dozen rows of potatoes. "I don't see a weed in this patch," I laughed, "Won't they grow; here?" "I won't let
em." he said.
""Now this is what I've been wanting you to see!" "This is the cleanest patch I've ever seen," I bragged. "But I
still don't see why you climbed the top of this mountain to clear this patch. And you did all this against your
doctor's orders!" "Which one?" he asked, laughing. Then he sat down on a big oak stump and I sat down on
a small black-gum stump near him. This was the only place on the mountain where the sun could shine to
the ground. And on the lower side of the clearing there was a rim of shadow over the rows of dark stalwart
plants loaded with green tomatoes. "What is the reason for your planting this patch up here?" I asked,
“twenty times in my life," he said, "a doctor has told me to go home and be with my family as long as I could.
Told me not to work. Not to do anything but to live and enjoy the few days I had left with me. If the doctors
have been right," he said, winking at me, "I have cheated death many times! Now,
I've reached the years the Good Book allows to man in his lifetime upon this earth! Three score years and
ten!" He got up from the stump and wiped the raindrops of sweat from his red-wrinkled face with his big
blue bandanna. "And something else, Jess," he said, motioning for me to follow him to the upper edge of the
clearing, "you won't understand until you reach three score and ten! After these years your time is
borrowed. And when you live on that kind of time, something goes back. Something I cannot explain. You go
back to the places you knew and loved. See this steep hill slope." He pointed down from the upper rim of the
clearing toward the deep valley below. "Your mother and I, when she was nineteen and I was twenty-two
cleared this mountain.

"slope together. We raised corn, beans, and pumpkins here," he continued, his voice rising with
excitement—he talked with his hands, too. "Those were the days. This wasn't the land one had to build up.
It was already here as God had made it and we had to do was to clear the trees and burn the bush. I
ploughed this mountain with cattle the first time it was ever ploughed. And we raised more than a barrel of
corn to the shock. That's why I came back up here. I went back to our youth. And this was the only land left
like that was." "And, Jess," he bragged, "regardless of my three score years and ten, I ploughed it. Ploughed it
with a mule! I have, with just a little help, done all the work. Its like the Iand your mother and I used to farm
here when I brought my gun to the field and took home a mess of fox squirrels every evening." I looked at
the vast mountain slope below where my mother and father had farmed.
I looked at the vast mountain slope below where my mother and father had farmed. And I could remember,
years later, when they farmed this land. It was on this steep slope that my father once made me a little
wooden plough. That was when I was six years old and they brought me to the field to thin corn. I lost my
little plough in a furrow and I cried and cried until he made me another plough. But I never loved the

second plough as I did the first one. Now, to look at the mountain slope, grown up with tall trees, many of
them big enough to have sawed into lumber at the mill, it was hard to believe that my father and mother
had cleared this mountain slope and had farmed it for many years. For many of the trees were sixty feet tall
and the wild vines had matted their tops together.
"And, Jess," he almost whispered, "the doctors told me to sit still and to take life easy. I couldn't do it. I had
to work. I had to go back. I had to smell this rich loam again. This land is not like the land I had to build to
grow alfalfa. This is real land. I had to come back and dig in it. I had to smell it, sift it through my fingers
again. And I wanted to taste yams, tomatoes, and potatoes grown in this land." From this mountain top I
looked far in every direction over the rugged hills my father and mother had cleared and farmed corn,
maize, and cane. The one slope they hadn't cleared was the one from which my father had cleared his last,
small patch. I followed him from his clearing in the sky, down a new path, toward the deep valley below.
"But why do you have so many paths coming from the flat up the steep second bluff?" I asked, since he had
promised that he would explain this to me later. "Oh, yes," he said. "Early last spring, I couldn't climb
straight up the steep path. That was when the doctor didn't give me a week to live. I made a longer, easier
path so I wouldn't have to do so much climbing. Then, as I got better," he explained. "I made another path
that was a little steeper, And as I continued to get better, I made steeper paths. That was one way of
knowing I was getting better all the time!" I followed him down the path that wound this way and that,
three times the length of the path we had climbed.

Summary
"Dark They Were, and Golden-Eyed" is a short story by Ray Bradbury about a family who emigrates from
Earth to Mars to start a new life. When they arrive, they begin to notice changes in themselves and the
environment, and they fear that they will lose their identity. As time passes, they become more and more
integrated into Martian culture, and forget their past on Earth. When Earth people try to contact them, they
mistake the message for a Martian warning and destroy their radio. The story ends with the family accepting
their new life on Mars and looking forward to the future.

"The rocket metal cooled in the meadow winds. Its lid gave a bulging pop. From its clock interior stepped a
man, a woman, and three children. The other passengers whirled away across the Martian meadow, leaving
the man alone among his family. The man felt his hair flutter and the tissues of his body draw tight as if he
were standing at the center of a vacuum. His wife, before him, seemed almost to whirl away in smoke. The
children, small seeds, might at any instant be sown to all the Martian climes. The children looked up at him,
as people look to the sun to tell what time of their life it is. His face was cold. "What's wrong?" asked his
wife. "Let's get back on the rocket." -Go back to the Earth?" "Yes! Listen!" The wind blew as if to flake away
their identities. At any moment the Martian air might draw his soul from him, as marrow comes from a
white bone. He felt submerged in a chemical that could dissolve his intellect and bum away his past. "They
looked at the Martian hills that time had worn with a crushing pressure of years. They saw the old cities,
lost in their meadows, lying like children's delicate bones among the blowing lakes of grass. "Chin up,
Harry," said his wife. "It's too late. We've come over sixty million miles." The children with their yellow hair
hollered at the deep dome of the Martian sky. There was no answer but the racing hiss of wind through the
stiff grass. He picked up the luggage in his cold hands. "Here we go," he said — a man standing on the edge
of a sea, ready to wade in and be drowned. They walked into town. Their names were Bittering — Harry and
his wife Cora. Dan, Laura, and David. They built a small white cottage and ate good breakfasts there, but the
fear was never gone. It lay with Mr. and Mrs. Bittering, a third unbidden partner at every midnight talk, at
every dawn awakening. "I feel like a salt crystal," he said, "in a mountain stream, being washed away. We
don't belong here. We're Earth people. This is Mars. It was meant for the Martians. For heaven's sake, Cora,
let's buy tickets for homer. But she only shook her head.

"One day the atom bomb will fix the Earth. When we'll be safe here.“"Safe and insane!" "Nonsense!" Mr.
Bittering looked out of the windows. "We're clean, decent people." He looked at his children. "All dead cities
have some kind of ghosts in them, Memories, I mean." He stared at the hills. "You see a staircase and you
wonder what the Martians looked like climbing it. You see the Martian paintings and you wonder what the
painter was like. You make a little ghost in your mind, a memory. It's quite natural. Imagination.- He
stopped. "You haven't been prowling up in those ruins, have you?" "No, Papa," David looked at his shoes.
"See that you stay away from them. Pass the jam." "Just the same," said little David, "I bet something
happens." Something happened that afternoon. Laura stumbled through the settlement, crying. She dashed
blindly onto the porch. "Mother, Father—the war, Earth!" she sobbed. "A radio flash just came. Atom bombs
hit New York! All the space rockets have blown up. No more rockets to Mars, ever!" "Oh, Harry!" The mother
held onto her husband and daughter. "Are you sure, Laura?" asked the father quietly. Laura wept. "We're
stranded on Mars, forever and ever!" For a long time there was only the sound of the wind in the late
afternoon. Alone, thought Bittering. Only a thousand of us here. No way back. No way. No way. Sweat poured
out from his face and his hands and his body; he was drenched in the hotness of his fear. He wanted to
strike Laura, cried, "No, you're lying! The rockets will come back!" Instead, He stroked Laura's head against
him and said, "The rockets will get through someday." "Father, what will we do?" "Go about our business, of
course. Raise crops and children. Wait, keep things going until the war ends and the rockets come again."
The two boys stepped out onto the porch. "Children," he said, sitting there, looking beyond them, "I've
something to tell you." "We know," they said. He looked with dismay at their house. “Even the house. The
wind's done something to it. The air's burned it. The fog at night. The boards, all warped out of shape. It's
not an Earthman's house anymore." "Oh, your imagination!" He put on his coat and tie. "I'm going into town.
We've got to do something now. I'll be back "Wait, Harry!" his wife cried. But he was gone.

In town on the shadowy step of the grocery store, the men sat with their hands on their knees, conversing
with great leisure and ease. Mr Bittering wanted to fire a pistol in the air. What are you doing, you fools! he
thought. Sitting here! You've heard the news — were stranded on this planet. Well, move! Aren't you
frightened? Aren't you afraid? What are you going to do? "Hello, Harry," said everyone. "Look," he said to
them. "You did hear the news, the other day, didn't you?" They nodded and laughed. 'Sure. Sure, Harry."
"What are you going to do about it?" "Do, Harry, do? What can we do?" "Build a rocket, that's what!" “A
rocket, Harry? To go back to all that trouble? Oh, Harry!" "But you must want to go back. Have you noticed

"Doesn't it scare you?" "Can't recall that it did much, Harry." "Idiots!" "Now, Harry." Bittering wanted to cry,
"You've got to work with me. If we stay here, we'll all change. The air. Don't you smell it? Something in the
air. A Martian virus, may be; some seed, or a pollen. Listen to me!" They stared at him. "Sam," he said to one
of them. "Yes, Harry?" "Will you help me build a rocket?" "Harry, I got a whole load of metal and some
blueprints. You want to work in my metal shop on a rocket you're welcome. I'll sell you that metal for five
hundred dollars. You should be able to construct aright pretty rocket, if you work alone, in about thirty

"Sam," Bittering said, "Your eyes —" "What about them, Harry?" "Didn't they used to be grey?" "Well, now, I
don't remember." "They were, weren't they'?" "Why do you ask, Harry?" "Because now they're kind of
yellow-colored." "Is that so, Harry?" Sam said casually. “And you're taller and thinner— "You might be right,
Harry," 'Sam, you shouldn't have yellow eyes." "Harry, what color of eyes have you got?" Sam said "My eyes?
They're blue, of course." "Here you are, Harry." Sam handed him a pocket mirror. "Take a look at yourself.“
Mr. Bittering hesitated, and then raised the mirror to his face. There were little, very dim flecks of new gold
captured in the blue of his eyes. "Now look what you've done," said Sam a moment later. "You've broken my
mirror." Harry Bittering moved into the metal shop and began to build the rocket. " Men stood in the open
door and talked and joked without raising their voices. Once in a while they gave him a hand on lifting
something. But mostly they just idled and watched him with their yellowing eyes, "its supper time, Harry,"
they said. His wife appeared with his supper in a wicker basket "I won't touch it," he said. "I'll eat only food
from our deep-freeze. Food that came from the Earth. Nothing from our garden." His wife stood watching
him. "You can't build a rocket," "I worked in a shop once, when I was twenty. I know metal. Once I get it
started, the others will help," he said, not looking at her, laying out the blueprints. "Harry, Harry," she said,
helplessly. "We've got to get away, Cont. We've got to!“Summer burned the canals dry. Summer moved like
flame upon the meadows. In the empty Earth settlement, the painted houses flaked and peeled. Rubber
tires upon which children had swung in back yards hung suspended like stopped clock pendulums in the
blazing air, at the metal shop, the rocket frame began to rust.
In the quiet autumn Mr. Bittering stood, very dark now, very golden-eyed, upon the slope above his villa,
looking at the valley. "It's time to go back," said Cora. "Yes, but we're not going," he said quietly. 'There's
nothing any more." "Your books," she said. "Your fine clothes.“"The town's empty. No one's going back," he
said. "There's no reason to none at all. The daughter wove tapestries and the sons played songs on the
ancient flutes and pipes, their laughter echoing in the marble villa. Mr. Bittering gazed at the Earth
settlement far away in the low valley. “Such odd, such ridiculous houses the Earth people built." They didn't
know any better." his wife mused. "Such ugly people. I'm glad they've gone." They both looked at each other,
startled by all they had just finished saying. They laughed. Where did they go?" he wondered. He glanced at

his wife. She was golden and slender like his daughter. She looked at him, and he seemed almost as young
as their eldest son. "I don't know," she said, "We'll go back to town may be next year, or the year after, or the
year after that," he said, calmly. "Now— I'm warm. How about taking a swim?" They turned their backs to
the valley. Arm in arm they walked silently down a path of clear-running spring water. Five years later a
rocket fell out of the sky. It lay steaming in the valley. Men leaped out of it, shouting. "We have won the war
on the Earth! We're here to rescue you! Hey!" But the American-built town of cottages, peach trees, and
theaters was silent. They found a flimsy rocket frame rusting in an empty shop. The rocket men searched
the hills. The captain established headquarters in an abandoned bar. His lieutenant came back to report.
"The town's empty, but we found the native life in the hills, sir. Dark people. Yellow eyes. The Martians. Very
friendly. We talked a bit, not much. They learn English fast. I'm sure our relations will be most friendly with
them, sir." "Dark, eh?" mused the captain. "How many?" "Six, eight hundred, I'd say, living in those marble
ruins in the hills, sir. Tall, healthy. Beautiful women. "Did they tell you what became of the men and women
who built this Earth settlement, Lieutenant?" "They hadn't the foggiest notion of what happened to this
town or its people," "Strange. You think those Martians killed them?" "They look surprisingly peaceful.
Chances are a plague did this town in, sir." Perhaps. I suppose this is one of those mysteries we'll never
solve. One of those mysteries you read about."

Summary
The story “Thank You Ma’am” is about a boy who tries to pick-pocket Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones but
she catches him. She takes him back to her house, tells him to wash his face, give him food, some money and
most importantly her advice. She teaches/tells him that she wasn’t perfect either in her childhood and
doesn’t make it right for Roger to do the same. When the boy leaves he is so grateful and he couldn’t ever
mutter a thank you or any thankful gesture of gratitude.
The story “Thank You Ma’am” is about a boy named Roger and a large woman. The name of this large
woman was Luella Bates Washington Jones. She had her purse with her while she was walking alone at was
about eleven o’clock in the evening. Out of nowhere, there was this boy who ran up behind her and attempted
to snatch her purse. While running, the boy lost his balance because of the weight of the purse and the
woman caught him. She was mad because the boy tried to steal her pocketbook. The woman had a
conversation with the boy then later on, she was too much bothered because his face was dirty; and then she
took him in her house. At Mrs. Jones’ house, she asked the boy his name. And he said it was “Roger”. Then she
let him wash his face in the sink. She invited him to eat with her and she even suspected him for being so
hungry for trying to steal her pocketbook. But he said that the reason why he tried to snatch it because he
desires to have a pair of blue suede shoes. Then Mrs. Jones said, “I were young once and I wanted things I
could not get.” They ate together and still had a conversation. When Roger was about to go home, Mrs. Jones
gave him 10 dollars to buy that pair of blue suede shoes. After that, he never saw her again.

single tug the boy gave it from behind. But the boy's weight and the weight of the purse combined caused
him to lose his balance. Instead of taking off full blast as he had hoped, the boy fell on his back on the
sidewalk and his legs flew up. The large woman simply turned around and kicked him Right Square in his

wash your face," said the woman, whereupon she turned him loose — at last. Roger looked at the door—

looked at her. There was a long pause. A very long pause. After he had dried his face, and not knowing what
else to do, dried it again, the boy turned around, wondering what next. The door was open. He could make a
dash for it down the hall. He could run, nm, run, run! The woman was sitting on the daybed. After a while

CHAPTER NO 5 THE PIECE OF STRING
WRITER
Guy de Maupassant was a renowned French writer, born on August 5, 1850, and died on July 6, 1893. He is
considered one of the masters of the short story genre and is well-known for his realistic and psychologically
insightful portrayals of characters and situations. Maupassant's works often explored the complexities of
human nature and society, touching on themes such as love, desire, class distinctions, and the effects of war.
Throughout his career, he wrote hundreds of short stories, six novels, and various other works, leaving a
significant impact on French literature. Some of his most famous short stories include "The Necklace," "Boule
de Suif," and "The Horla." Maupassant's writing style was characterized by its precision, economy of words,
and ability to reveal the deeper aspects of his characters' lives and emotions.
Despite his literary success, Maupassant's life was marked by struggles with mental health, and he spent his
final years in a state of decline until his death at the age of 42. Nevertheless, his contributions to literature
continue to be appreciated and studied worldwide, making him a significant figure in the realm of
storytelling.
Summary
"The Piece of String" is a short story set in a French village about Mr. Hubert, who is falsely accused of stealing
a pocketbook. He found a piece of string but is mocked by his enemy and others who don't believe him. The
pocketbook is eventually found, but the villagers still doubt him. Hubert becomes obsessed with clearing his
name, falls ill, and dies misunderstood, highlighting the theme of injustice and prejudice."
TEXT PAGE 1
At the end of market day, the rich people with vehicles of all kinds, carts, gigs, wagons, and dumpcarts
gathered at a great big hall for a great meal. There were chickens, pigeons and legs of mutton in the roast
and an appetizing odour of roast, beef. Leaf and gravy dripping over the browned skin, which increased the
appetite and made everybody's mouth water. Everyone told his affairs, his purchases and sales. The diners
discussed the crops and the weather which was favorable for the green things but not for wheat. Suddenly,
at the sound of drumbeat in the court everybody rose from the seats except a few ones who still had the
food in their hands. After the drumbeat had ceased, the drumbeater called out to the people who were now
attentive and impatiently waiting for him to call out the public announcement. "It is hereby made known to
the inhabitants of this place and in general to all persons in the market that a black leather pocketbook

it. As Gorgois archives his ambition at the age of sixty.
TEXT PAGE 1
Our talk at the Club one day was of opportunity and determination. Some said opportunity was required
for success, and millions never had it; other that only determination was needed. And then Jorkens joined
in, all for determination. If a man was determined to get anything, and stuck to it long enough, he got it,
said Jorkens. 'Anything?' asked Terbut. 'Anything,' Jorkens replied, 'so long as he sticks to it, and sticks to it
hard enough and long enough. Anything whatever.' Terbut disagreed. 'Life is like a race.' Jorkens went on,
'in which they tire after a while and sit down, or get interested in something else instead. The man who
keeps on wins the race.' 'And suppose a man wanted to be skating champion of the Sahara,' said Terbut, 'and
couldn't afford the money to get there.' 'He'd make the money,' said Jorkens. 'And he'd build a skating-rink
in the Sahara and organize a competition there. He'd be skating champion all right, if he really gives all his
time to it.'

'Could you tell us a case like that?' asked one of us. 'As a matter of fact, I can,' said Jorkens, 'a very similar
case.' 'Let's hear it,' said Terbut. 'There was a young fellow,' said Jorkens, 'to whom his parents probably
used to say the very things that we have been saying now; and very likely he, as many young fellows do, may
have wanted to prove them wrong. I don't know: it was a long time ago. But, whatever his motive was, he hit
on a most extraordinary ambition, and stuck to it. It was nothing less than to be appointed Court acrobat.'
'What?' said Terbut. 'Acrobat,' Jorkens went on, 'to the Court of the country in which he lived.' 'What kind of
country was that?' asked Terbut. 'Never mind what country it was,' said Jorkens. 'And as a matter of fact its
customs weren't so silly as you suppose. They had no post of Court acrobat, and never had had. But that
didn't stop young Gorgios. That was his name.

He was a good athlete when he came by (get something after effort) his wild idea at about the age of
sixteen, and had won the high jump and the hurdles and the hundred yards at his school.' 'Well, there was
opportunity,' argued Terbut, 'if he was born a good athlete.' 'But wait a moment,' said Jorkens. 'You don't
remain an athlete all your life, and he still had to get the post created. 'How did he do that?' asked Terbut.
'Simply by sticking to it,' said Jorkens. 'He went into (start doing) politics. They all do in that country. But he
went into them harder than anyone else, and never gave up his ambition. Of course he made speeches, and
fine ones, on many other subjects; but all the while he stuck to his one idea. The years went by (pass) and
the day came when he had power enough to preach his ambition openly, and he told them how the glory of
their country and of its ancient throne would be increased if the post of Court acrobat were created. He
gave examples of other Courts and greater ones. Of course many opposed him: that is politics. Of course it
took a long time: that is politics too.

But as the years went by he wore down opposing arguments, till he had taught people what a lesson it
would be to all the nations to have a young athlete at Court exhibiting perfect physical fitness, and how such
an example would strengthen their soldiers and enable them finally to win the just rights of the nation in
victorious battle against their accursed neighbours. And so the idea caught on; and to make a very long
story short, the post of Court acrobat was duly created,' 'Both parents of Gorgios were by then long dead. By
then, little remained to be done: he had only to stick for a few more days to that wild idea of his, and then,
when the question arose of choosing an athlete to fill the newly-made post, whom could they choose but the

man who had worked for it all those years?' 'So Gorgios was appointed acrobat to the Court, and learned so
late in life, what always takes time, that his parents were right after all.

3. Why was he chosen court acrobat?

It only remained then to inaugurate him. And that is where I came on the scene, wandering about Europe as
I used to do in those days when food used to be cheap and I was young and could easily walk long distances.
I came to that country and they were wonderfully friendly, and they let me see the great ceremony, which
took place as soon after the creation of the post as Gorgios's uniform could be got ready. And very
magnificent clothing it was, a tight-fitting suit of red velvet, all gay with gold buttons and shining with lines
of gold lace that wound and twisted about it. The great throne-room had been turned into a kind of
gymnasium, with the members of the Royal House seated along a raised platform at one end, and the
principal officers standing beside and behind them. Great curtains of red and gold were hung along the
walls, and the high swings of acrobats hung down with gilded ropes from the ceiling, and a row of neat
hurdles was arranged on the polished floor: like the ones over which Gorgios had won his race when at
school.
QUESTIONS
1. What were the arrangements made for the ceremony?
1. He used to living in slums before shifting to Lahore.
2. I could happy look over the sick ones.
3. The friendly looking view of the manager attracted every customer.
4. They did not let us to enter the room.

7. A kind of a tree you are observing is not found anywhere in the country.
8. The list of results were displayed on the notice board.
9. Every day my mother packed my lunch;/: a peanut butter sandwich, two cookies, and an apple.
Lights glittered, a band in pale green and gold played softly, and it was indeed a splendid scene. I will not
describe it to you, because everything there, the uniforms and the ladies brilliant dresses, was utterly put
in the shade (darken) by the moment when the doors opened with a flood of golden light, and the old man
In his brilliant uniform appeared between them for the crowning of his life's work. His white hair and the
red uniform of the Court acrobat showed each other off to perfection, and his thin figure worn with age was
made all the more melancholy by the tight-fitting uniform, As though tired by his long patience and the
work of a lifetime, he walked slowly in his pointed shoes and leaned on a gilded stick. He came to the
hurdles that he remembered, over which once he had won so easy a victory.
QUESTIONS
1. Write the scene of inauguration.
1. Indeed it could be the worst environmental disaster in Europe this century.
2. Evidence suggests that errors may be indeed occurring.
3. We live in strange indeed times.
4. The shop is opened at 7’O clock.
5. He appeared between the members of his family.
6. He showed his position of to his juniors.
7. Once he had been at a space station during his research.

8. He had once been there in the class room.
As he came to the first he looked up for a moment with a slightly sad expression towards the royal platform,
as though he asked some question with his eyes. Whatever the question was it was at once understood:
royal smiles were directed towards him, and gentle applause broke out from every hand, which he
understood at once, and the old bent form moved on away from the hurdle. Once he raised a hand to touch
the lowest of the swings that were hung from the ceiling. But again the applause broke out, assuring him

SPOT THE ERROR
1. Our talk at club one day was about opportunity and determination.
2. Some said opportunity is required for success ,and million never had it; other that only determination
was needed.
3. Jorkens joined all for determination .if man was determined to get anything and stuck to it long
enough, he got it, said jerkins.
4. As long as he stick to it and stick to it hard enough and enough.
5. Life is like a rice in which they tire after a while and sit down ,and interested in something else instead.
6. And suppose a man wanted to be skating champion of the Sahara and cannot afford the money to get
there.
7. He would build a skating –rink in the Saharan and organize competition there.
8. He would be skating champion alright, if really gives all his time to it.
9. There was a young fellow, to whom his parents probably used to say the very things that we are saying
now.

10. I don’t know it was a long time ago.
11. But ,whatever his motive was he it upon a most extraordinary ambition and stuck to it,
12. It was nothing less than to be appointed as court acrobat.
13. And as a matter of fat its customs were not very silly as you suppose.
14. They had no post of court acrobat , and never had have .
15. He was a good athlete when he had come by his wild idea at about the age of sixteen, and had won the
high jumbo and the hurdles and the hundred yards at his school.
16. You don’t, remain an athlete all your life and we still has to get the post created.
17. Simply by sticking to it he went in politics.
18. But he went into them harder than, anyone else and ever give his ambition.
19. Of course he made speeches, and fine ones on many other subjects; but all of the while he stuck to his
one idea.
20. The years went and thy day came when he had power enough to preach his ambition openly.
21. He told them how the glory of their country and of its ancient throne would be increased if the post of
court acrobat was created.
22. He gave examples of other courts and grater ones .of course many opposed him, that is politics.
23. Of course it took a long time; that was politics too.
24. But as the years went he wore down opposing arguments.
25. He had taught people what a lesson it will be to all nations to have a young athlete at court exhibiting
perfect physical fitness.
26. An example would strengthen their soldiers and enable them finally to win the just rights of the nation
in victorious battle for their accursed neighbors.
27. And so the idea caught and to make a very long story short, the post court acrobat was duly created.
28. Both parents of Gorgeous were then long dead.
29. By then, a little remained to be done; he had only to stick for a few more days to that wild idea.
30. Whom could they choose as the man who had worked for it all those years?
31. So Gorgeous was appointed as acrobat to the court and learned so late in life what always takes time,
that parents were right after all.
32. And that is where I came on the scene, wandering about Europe as I used to do in those days when food
used to be cheap and I was young and can easily walk long distances.
33. I came to that country and they were wonderfully friendly, and they let to me see the great ceremony
,which took places as soon after the creation of the post as Gorgios’s uniform, could be got ready.
34. And very magnificent clothing it was, a tight-fitting suit of red velvet, all gay with gold buttons and
shining with lines of gold lace that wound twisted around it
35. The great throne –room had been turned in a kind of gymnasium.
36. The members of the Royal House seated on a raised platform at one end, and the principal officers
standing beside and behind them.
37. Great curtains of red and gold were hung on the walls, and the high swings of acrobats hung down with
gilded ropes from the ceiling.
38. A row of neat hurdles was arranged on the polished floor, like the ones over which Geordies had won
his race when at school.
39. Lights glittered, a band in pale green and gold played softly, and it was indeed splendid scene.
40. I will not describe it to our because, everything there, the uniforms and the ladies’ brilliant dresses,
were utterly put in the shade.
41. By the monument when the doors opened with a flood of golden right, and the old man in his brilliant
uniform appeared in them for the crowing of his life’s work.
42. His white hairs and the red uniform of the Court acrobat showed each other off to perfections.
43. His thin figure worn by age was made all the more melancholy by the tight –fitting uniform.
44. As though tired by his long patience and the work of a lifetime, he walked slowly with his pointed
shoes and leaned on dilled stick.
45. He came to the hurdles that he remembered, over which once he had won so easily a victory.
46. As he come to the first he looked up for a moment with a slightly sad expression toward the royal
platform.
47. Whatever the question was it was at once understood, royal smiles were directed towards him.
48. The gentle applause broke out from every hand, which he understood at once, and the old bent from
moved away from the hurdle.
49. But again the applause broke out, assuring him that no actual activity was expected from him.
50. And so; having made his bows he was led to a seat, his life s ambition was achieved.

51. It must have taken him more than sixty years to do it when first when he came by that strange
ambition of his.
52. Not many stick to a thing for very long.
53. And Jorkans uttered a quiet sign, so clearly mourning on some lost ambition that he himself had given
up, that nor even turbet asked him what it was.

CHAPTER NO 7 THE USE OF FORCE
CARLOUS WILLIAM
William Carlos Williams (1883-1963) was an American poet, author, and medical doctor. He was a prominent
figure in Imagist and Modernist poetry, and critics regard Williams as a quintessentially American poet.
Williams often disagreed with his contemporaries and, unlike many of the poets of his time, attempted to
write in the vernacular of his fellow Americans. As the first-ever winner of the National Book Award for Poetry
and holder of the position of Consultant in Poetry (which would later become the Poet Laureate), Williams is a
titan in American poetry.
SUMMARY
The story ‘The Use of Force’ tells that the use of force is justifiable if it is used with good intention to save
somebody's life. In the story, the basic conflict is between the doctor and the child patient. The doctor, in the
story, uses force because of social duty while the parents do not want the use of force. The parents’ love for
their child was about to cause the death of their child. The parents just think about the immediate pain
without thinking about the consequences of deadly diseases. So, the doctor loves and cares the innocent child
but hates the parents. William Carlos Williams shows the physical conflict between a doctor and his patient at
one level and the psychological battle between the doctor and the parents at another level. This story justifies
that using force for the benevolent purpose is ethical and justifiable. In the story, a doctor visits the house of
the Olson family.
In the family, a small child named Mithalda has had a high fever for three days. Since no medicine worked, her
parents called the doctor to examine her sickness. Being fearful that the girl may be suffering from
diphtheria, a deadly disease, the doctor asked her parents if she had a sore throat. The parents had not taken
a look at the throat of the sick child because they did not want to hurt her. The doctor asks Mithalda to open
her mouth but suddenly the girl attacks his eyes with her nails treating the doctor as her enemy. The child’s
parents were embarrassed by their daughter’s behavior towards the doctor. The doctor hates the mother
when she says that the doctor is a nice man and he will not hurt her.
Then the doctor decides to use force than leave her to die because the child was not in the mood to cooperate
with the doctor. When the doctor is about to look into her throat, her father, who was holding the child,
suddenly releases her. So, he failed to inspect the child’s throat. The parents are restless and fearful that the
doctor may harm their child. On the next attempt, the doctor grasps the child's head and tries to get the
wooden depressor into her mouth. The girl breaks the wooden depressor with her molars. The child's mouth
starts bleeding because of a cut. Later, he pushes the spoon forcefully back into her teeth and throat and finds
that she has a sore throat and she is suffering from diphtheria.
TEXT PAGE 1
Please come down as soon as you can, my daughter is very sick." When I arrived, I was met by the mother, a
big startled looking woman, very clean and apologetic who merely said, "Is this the doctor?" and let me in.
She added. "You must excuse us, doctor, we have her in the kitchen where it is warm. It is very damp here
sometimes." The child was fully dressed and sitting on her father's lap near the kitchen table. He tried to
get up, but I motioned for him not to bother. I could see that they were all very nervous, eyeing me up (look
at interestingly) and down distrustfully. As often, in such cases, they weren't telling me more than they had
to, it was up to me to tell them; that's why they were spending three dollars on me. The child was fairly

eating me up with her cold, steady eyes, and no expression on her face whatever. She did not move and
seemed, inwardly, quiet; an unusually attractive little thing, and as strong as a heifer in appearance. But her
face was flushed, she was breathing rapidly, and I realized that she had a high fever.
QUESTIONS
1. What was the condition of parents when the doctor arrived?
2. Why did they keep the child in the kitchen?
3. What was the appearance of the child? How did she look physically?
1. I am feeling ill at this time.
2. Mr. Asif, kind young man, lives here.
3. Merely your angry glance can kill me.

10. It was up to he, how he could manage his affairs.
11. He treated me fair/fairly.
12. The fair/fairly way to deal a student is compassion.
13. It was total wrong in his decision.
She had magnificent blonde hair, in profusion. One of those picture children often reproduced in
advertising leaflets and the photogravure sections of the Sunday papers. "She's had a fever for three days,"
began the father, "and we don't know what it comes from. My wife has given her things, you know, like
people do, but it doesn't do any good. And there's been a lot of sickness around. So we tho't you'd better
look her over and tell us what the matter is." As doctors often do, I took a trial shot at it as a point of
departure. "Has she had a sore throat?" Both parents answered me together, "No.... No, she says her throat
doesn't hurt (irregular verbs) her.- "Does your throat hurt you?" added the mother to the child. But the
little girl's expression didn't change nor did she move her eyes from my face. "Have you looked?" "I tried to,"
said the mother, but I couldn't see. "As it happens we had been having a number of cases of diphtheria in the
school to which this child went during that month and we were all, quite apparently thinking of that,
though no one had yet spoken of the thing". "Well," 1 said, "suppose we take a look at the throat first. I
smiled in my best professional manner and asking for (getting information) the child's first name I said,
come on, Mathilda, open your mouth and let's take a look at your throat." "Nothing doing (idiom. no)."
QUESTIONS
1. She had a fever for three days, hadn't she?
2. Did the girl change her expression when the doctor said, "Does your throat hurt you?"
3. Why did the doctor call the sick girl by her first name?

9. Nor she approached me nor she requested me.
10. He was quiet exhausted.
11. He asked for/about
"Aw, come on," I coaxed, "just open your mouth wide and let me take a look.- "Look," I said opening both
hands wide, "I haven't anything in my hands. Just open up (show up previously hidden)and let me see."
"Such a nice man," put in the mother. "Look how kind he is to you. Come on, do what he tells you to. He won't
hurt you." At that I ground my teeth in disgust. If only they wouldn't use the word "hurt” I might be able to
get somewhere. But I did not allow myself to be hurried or disturbed but speaking quietly and slowly I
approached the child again. As I moved my chair a little nearer, suddenly with one catlike movement, both
her hands clawed instinctively for my eyes and she almost reached them too. In fact she knocked my glasses
flying and they fell, though unbroken, several feet away from me on the kitchen floor.

QUESTIONS
1. How did he convince the girl to open her mouth?
2. How did the girl react when he tried to open her mouth?

7. He talked quitely when he met me.
8. He has too shared his room with his fellow.
9. In the chair/chair, he was sitting.
Both the mother and father almost turned themselves inside out in embarrassment and apology. "You bad
girl," said the mother, taking her and shaking her by one arm. "Look what you've done. The nice man...."
"For Heaven's sake," I broke in, "Don't call me a nice man to her. I'm here to look at her throat on the chance
that she might have diphtheria and possibly die of it." But that's nothing to her. "Look here," I said to the
child, "we're going to look at your throat. You're old enough to understand what I'm saying. Will you open it
now by yourself or shall we have to open it for you?" Not a move. Even her expression hadn't changed. Her
breaths, however, were coming faster and faster. Then the battle began. I had to do it. I had to have a throat
culture for her own protection. But first I told the parents that it was entirely up to them. I explained the
danger but said that I would not insist on a throat examination so long as they would take the
responsibility.
QUESTIONS
1. How did the mother treat the girl when she mistreated the doctor?
2. What was the threat of the doctor to the child for not showing her throat?

"If you don't do what the doctor says you'll have to go to the hospital," the mother admonished her severely.
"Put her in front of you on your lap," I ordered. "and hold both her wrists,- But as soon as he did the child let
out (cry, utter) a scream. "Don't, you're hurting me. Let go off my hands. Let them go I tell you." Then she
shrieked terrifyingly, hysterically. "Stop it! You're killing me!" "Do you think she can stand it,(tolerate)
doctor?" said the mother. "You get out," said the husband to his wife. "Do you want her to die of diphtheria?"
"Come on now, hold her," I said. Then I grasped the child's head with my left hand and tried to get the
wooden tongue depressor between her teeth. She fought, with clenched teeth, desperately! But now I also
had grown furious — at a child. I tried to hold myself down but I couldn't. I know how to expose a throat for
inspection. And I did my best.
QUESTIONS
1. How did the girl react when the doctor held her tightly for inspection?
2. How did he control the girl to open her mouth?

When finally I got the wooden spatula behind the last teeth and just the point of it into the mouth cavity, she
opened up for an instant ' but before I could see anything she came down again and gripped the wooden
blade between her molars. She reduced it to splinters before I could get it out again. "Aren't you ashamed,-
the mother yelled at her. "Aren't you ashamed to act like that in front of the doctor?- "Get me a smooth-
handled spoon of some sort," I told the mother, "We're going through, (examine) with this." The child's
mouth was already bleeding. Her tongue was cut and she was screaming in wild hysterical shrieks. Perhaps
I should have desisted and come back in an hour or more.
QUESTIONS
1. What was the attitude of the girl?
2. Did the girl comply with his instructions?

No doubt it would have been better. But I have seen, at least, two children lying dead in bed of neglect in
such cases, and feeling that I must get a diagnosis now or never I went at (start doing again) it again. But
the worst of it was that too had got beyond reason. I could have torn the child apart in my own fury and
enjoyed it. It was a pleasure to attack her. My face was burning with it. In the final unreasoning assault I
overpowered the child's neck and jaws. I forced the heavy silver spoon back of her teeth and down her
throat till she gagged. And there it was - both tonsils covered with membrane. She had fought valiantly to
keep me from knowing her secret. She had been hiding that sore throat for three days at least and lying to
her parents in order to escape just such an outcome as this. Now truly she was furious. She had been on the
defensive before but how she attacked. Tried to get off (leave a place) her father's lap and fly at (attack) me
while tears of defeat blinded her eyes.
QUESTIONS
1. Why did the child break the wooden blade?
2. What was the condition of the tonsils of the sick?

18. Both parents answered me altogether, “she says her throat doesn’t hurt her.
19. But the little girl’s expression didn’t change nor did she moved her eyes from my face.
20. As it happens we had been having the number of cases of diphtheria in the school to which this child
went during that month.
21. We were all, quite apparently thinking of that, though no one had yet spoken of the thing.
22. Suppose we take a look on the throat first. I smiled in my best professional manner and asking for the
child’s first name.
23. I said, come on, Mathilda, open your mouth and let’s me take a look at your throat.”
24. Such a nice man,” put in the mother. “Look how kind he is to you. Come on, do what he tell you.

25. At that I ground my teeth in disgust. If only they wouldn’t use the word “hurt “I may be able to get
somewhere.
26. But I did not allow be hurrying or disturbing.
27. But speaking quality and slowly I approached to the child again.
28. As I moved my chair little nearer, suddenly with one cat like movement, both her hands, clawed
instinctively for my eyes.
29. In fact she knocked my glasses flying and they fell, though unbroken, several feet from a clawed on the
kitchen floor.
30. Both the mother and the father almost turned themselves inside out in embarrassment and apology.
31. “You bad girl, “said the mother,Taking her and shaking her with one arm.
32. “For Heaven’s sake, “I broke in. “don’t call me a nice man before her.
33. I’m here to look at her throat on the chance that she might have diphtheria and possibly from it.
34. Will you open it now yourself or shall we have to open it for you?
35. Not a move. Even her expression hadn’t changed. Her breathes, however, were coming faster and faster.
36. I had to have a throat culture for her own protection. But the first I told the parents that it was entirely
up to them.
37. I explained the danger but said that I would not insist a throat examination so long as they would take
the responsibility.
38. If you don’t do what the doctor said you’ll have to go to the hospital.
39. “Put her in front of you in your lap”, I ordered, “and hold both her wrists.
40. But as soon as he did the child let out a scream. “Don’t you’re hurting me.”
41. Let go of my hands. Let them go I tell you. Then she shrieked terrifyingly, hysterically.
42. Do you think that she can stand it, doctor?
43. You get out, dose you want her to die of diphtheria? “
44. Then I grasped the child’s head with my left hand and try to get the wooden tongue depressor between
her teeth.
45. She fought, by clenched teeth, desperately!
46. But now I also had grown furious – at the child.
47. I tried to hold myself but I couldn’t.
48. “Aren’t you ashamed of”, the mother yelled at her. “Aren’t you ashamed to act like that a front of the
doctor?
49. “Get me a smooth- handled spoon of any sort, we’re going through with this. “
50. But the worst of it was that I too had hot get away from reason.
51. I could have torn the child apart in my own fury and enjoy it.
52. It was a pleasure to attacking her. My face was burring with it.
53. I forced the heavy silver spoon back her teeth and down her throat till she gagged.
54. And there it were both tonsils covered with member.
55. Tried to get off her father’s lap and fly on me while tears of defeat blinded her eyes.

GULISTAN E SAADI
The The Gulistan (Persian: ‫تان‬ ‫س‬ ‫ل‬ ‫گ‬ Golestȃn "The Rose Garden") is a landmark of Persian literature,
perhaps its single most influential work of prose. Written in 1258 CE, it is one of two major works of the
Persian poet Sa'di, considered one of the greatest medieval Persian poets. It is also one of his most popular
books, and has proved deeply influential in the West as well as the East. The Gulistan is a collection of
poems and stories, just as a rose-garden is a collection of roses. It is widely quoted as a source of wisdom.
The minimalist plots of the Gulistan's stories are expressed with precise language and psychological
insight, creating”poetry of ideas" with the concision of mathematical formulas. The book deals with
virtually every major issue faced by mankind, with both optimism and delicate satire.
TEXT
Sheikh Sa'di was a great story teller. He speaks to all nations and is perpetually modern, said Emerson. He
thought of the Gulistan as one of the bibles of the world, for he found in it the universality of moral law. The
Gulistan translated in Latin and English, became love for the people. It is interesting to note that English
scholars used Sa'di's translated parables in their divine books till it was discovered to be an English
translation of a Latin version of Persian origin. Edwin Arnold has aptly described Gulistan in culinary terms
as "an intellectual pilaf, a literary curry; a kebab of a versatile genius". The readers are sure to enjoy these
parables as food for thought (something that ensures serious consideration).

experienced any calamity. After sometime the boat was hit by a storm and started tossing (shaking). It was

began to cry and tremble, and created inconvenience for the others. The others tried to pacify him by
kindness and affection but he didn't hear anybody, When the uneasiness lasted longer the king also became
displeased. In that boat there happened to be a sergeant, who said, "With your permission, may I quieten
him," "It will be a great favour," the king said. The sergeant ordered the slave to be thrown into the water, so
that he could have experienced the true danger of life. Two persons threw him in the sea and when he was
about to he drowned they pulled him back to the boat, and he clung the stem with both of his hands, Then
he sat down and remained quiet. This appeared strange to the king, who could not comprehend the
wisdom in the action taken by the sergeant, and he asked for (inquire about health of wellbeing) it, the

salt could be found. A boy was sent to a village to bring some salt. The boy brought it and presented it to the
king who asked whether he had paid for it. "No, said the boy. "Pay for the salt;' said the king, "lest it should
become a custom and the village be ruined." Having been asked what harm could arise from such a trifling
demand. "The foundation of oppression was small in the world," said the king. "Whoever enlarged it, so
that it reached its present magnitude, is at fault. If the king eats one apple from the garden of a subject, his
slaves will pull down the whole tree. For five eggs, which the king allows to be taken by force, the people
belonging to his army will put a thousand fowls on the spit." 'A tyrant does not remain in the world, but the

TEXT
A king fell seriously ill and all hopes of his recovery vanished. The more the disease was cured the more it
became painful. At last the physicians agreed that this disease could not be cured except by means of bile of
a person endued with certain qualities. Orders were issued to search for an individual of this kind. A son of
a farmer was discovered to possess the qualities mentioned by the doctors. The king summoned the father
and mother of the boy, whose consent he got by giving them a huge amount of wealth. The Qazi issued a
decree to shed the blood of a person for the health of the king. The boy was brought to the altar and the
executioner was directed to slaughter the boy. When all was ready the boy looked toward the sky and
smiled. "Why do you laugh in such a position?" the king asked. "A son looks to the infection of his parents,"
said the boy. "If they fail, they are expected to bring the case before the Qazi to seek justice. But in the
present case the parents have agreed to get my blood shed for the trash of this world. The Qazi has issued a

decree to kill me. The king thinks he will recover his health only through slaying me and I see no other
refuge besides Allah Almighty. To whom shall I complain against your brutality, if I am to seek justice from
your hand?" The king felt disturbed and on hearing these words he could not control his tears and said, "It
is better for me to die than to shed the blood of an innocent boy." He kissed the head and eyes of the boy
and presented him with a lot of wealth. It is said that the king also recovered within a week.
