2. Once the people of the village wanted to celebrate their temple festival. The festival could not start till the temple flag was put up. The temple had the flag, but no flagpole. So the villagers went to the forest and made a fine flagpole out of a tall tree. The flagpole was too heavy for the villagers to carry. And so Mahagiri brought it to the temple. The villagers also wanted the elephant’s help to fix the flagpole in the ground. They had already dug a hole in front of the temple.

The villagers were angry and they shouted at the mahout. Mahagiri could not stand the noise any longer. He threw away the flagpole. And the mahout was also thrown off. The people became so frightened that they ran away for their lives.
4. Mahagiri was now alone. He moved to the hole and went down on his forelegs. He put his long trunk into the hole and gently picked up a kitten ! The little cat had been hiding in the hole. The people had been watching all this. They now knew why the elephant had not obeyed the mahout’s orders. He did not like to kill the kitten. Mahagiri then placed the flagpole into the hole and held it straight with his trunk. Everyone at the temple gave sweets and fruits to the elephant. From that day Mahagiri became the villagers’ favourite elephant and the children’s best friend.

(ଅନୁଚ୍ଛେଦ ୧ – ୨ କୁ ନୀରବରେ ପଢ଼ ଏବଂ ପରବର୍ତ୍ତୀ ପ୍ରଶ୍ନଗୁଡ଼ିକର ଉତ୍ତର ଦିଅ ।)
1. To start with, human beings had no language. How did they talk to each other? How did they say what they wanted to say? They did this through action and gesture. Even today we also use an action to say something. When your teacher puts his / her finger on his / her lips what does she/he say? She/he says, “Don’t make a noise. Be silent.”
2. Much later language came. Human beings used language to say what they wanted to say. But they did not know how to write. For many many years, they only spoke but could not write. To start with they drew pictures to write. If someone wanted to say ‘tree’, s/he drew a picture of a tree. But one cannot draw pictures of all that s/he wanted to say. Thus, there was a need to develop a writing system-letters, for, and scripts. Most of the scripts are developed from pictures. Pictures slowly developed into symbols. Symbols looked different from the pictures from which they came. Take, for example, the Chinese letter (symbol) which developed from the picture of a tree.

ଓଡ଼ିଆ ଅନୁବାଦ :
୧. ଆରମ୍ଭରୁ ପ୍ରାଚୀନ ମାନବର କିଛି ଭାଷା ନଥିଲା । ସେମାନେ କିପରି ପରସ୍ପର ସହିତ କଥାବାର୍ତ୍ତା ହେଉଥିଲେ ? ସେମାନେ ଯାହା କହିବାକୁ ଚାହୁଁଥିଲେ ତାହା କିପରି କହୁଥିଲେ ? ସେମାନେ ଆଚରଣ ଓ ଭଙ୍ଗୀ ମାଧ୍ୟମରେ ଏହା କରୁଥିଲେ । ଏପରିକି ଆଜି ମଧ୍ୟ କେତେକ କଥା କହିବାକୁ ଆମେ ଆଚରଣକୁ ବ୍ୟବହାର କରୁଛୁ । ଯେତେବେଳେ ତୁମର ଶିକ୍ଷକ ତାଙ୍କର (ପୁ/ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ) ଆଙ୍ଗୁଳିକୁ ତାଙ୍କ (ପୁ/ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ) ଓଠ ଉପରେ ରଖନ୍ତି, ସେ (ପୁ/ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ) କ’ଣ କହନ୍ତି ? ସେ (ପୁ/ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ) କହନ୍ତି, ‘‘ଗୋଳମାଳ୍ କରନାହିଁ । ନୀରବ ରୁହ ।’’
୨. ଭାଷା ବହୁତ ପରେ ଆସିଲା । ମାନବମାନେ ଭାଷା ବ୍ୟବହାର କଲେ କହିବାକୁ ଯାହା ସେମାନେ କହିବାକୁ ଚାହୁଁଥିଲେ । କିନ୍ତୁ କିପରି ଲେଖିବାକୁ ହେବ ସେମାନେ ଜାଣି ନଥିଲେ । ଅନେକ ଅନେକ ବର୍ଷ ଧରି ସେମାନେ କେବଳ କଥା କହିଲେ କିନ୍ତୁ ଲେଖିପାରିଲେ ନାହିଁ । ଆରମ୍ଭରୁ ସେମାନେ କିଛି ଲେଖିବାକୁ ଚିତ୍ର ଅଙ୍କନ କଲେ । ଯଦି କେହି ‘ଗଛ’ କହିବାକୁ ଚାହୁଁଥିଲା, ସେ (ପୁ/ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ) ଗୋଟିଏ ଗଛର ଚିତ୍ର ଅଙ୍କନ କରୁଥିଲା । କିନ୍ତୁ ଜଣେ ଯାହାସବୁ କହିବାକୁ ଚାହୁଁଥ‌ିବ, ସେ (ପୁ/ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ) ସେସବୁର ଚିତ୍ର ଅଙ୍କନ କରିପାରିବ ନାହିଁ । ଏହିପରିଭାବରେ ଲେଖୁବା ବ୍ୟବସ୍ଥା – ଅକ୍ଷର ଓ ଲିପିର ବିକାଶ କରିବା ଆବଶ୍ୟକ ହେଲା । ଅଧିକାଂଶ ଲିପି ଚିତ୍ରଗୁଡ଼ିକରୁ ବିକଶିତ କରାଯାଇଥିଲା । ଚିତ୍ରଗୁଡ଼ିକ ଧୀରେ-ଧୀରେ ସଙ୍କେତ ବା ଚିହ୍ନକୁ ବିକଶିତ ହେଲେ । ସଙ୍କେତ ବା ଚିହ୍ନଗୁଡ଼ିକ ସେଗୁଡ଼ିକ ଆସିଥ୍‌ ଚିତ୍ରଠାରୁ ଭିନ୍ନ ଦେଖାଗଲା । ଗୋଟିଏ ଗଛର ଛବିରୁ ବିକଶିତ ଚୀନା ଭାଷାର ଅକ୍ଷର/ଲିପିକୁ ଉଦାହରଣରୂପେ ନିଆଯାଇପାରେ ।
