I got the idea with the help of my friends in the group
The teacher helped me to understand the passage.
I used the glossary given at the end of the passage.
I. Answer the following questions:
How were the animals before the jackal entered the forest? Pick out the words
which describe their mood.
What happened to the animals after the jackal came to the forest?
was the jackal’s plan? How did it succeed?
What did the animals do to check the jackal’s evil design?
How was the moon disguised? Why did he choose that form?
Why did the sadhu ask the jackal to take him for his meal? Would you do the
same if you were in his place?
What did the sadhu teach the animals in the forest?
Do you think the sadhu sacrificed his life for the sake of animals in the forest?
Give reasons for your answer.II. Read the following paragraph and analyse it in terms of cause and effect /
consequence. One has been done for you.
The animals in the forest were friendly, so the jackal could not eat any animal. The
jackal then thought of a plan and implemented it. The animals started suspecting each other
as the jackal’s plan worked. The life in the forest became dull because there were no
musical evenings. All the animals requested the sadhu for help, so he talked to the animals
and the birds and solved their problem. However, the sadhu didn’t want to kill the jackal,
but preferred to teach a lesson to it.
