2. From very young days Birsa was against superstition. Once, his left leg was wounded while cutting wood. He went to a village quack. The quack said that the wound was caused by an evil spirit. Birsa would have to sacrifice a goat to cure himself of his wound. Birsa did not do this. Instead, he told people not to believe in superstitions.

But the police failed to arrest Birsa. For about four years Birsa continued his fight against the Government without getting arrested. So the Government declared rewards to capture Birsa.

BSE Odisha Class 7 English Solutions Follow-Up Lesson 6 The Origin of Words

BSE Odisha 7th Class English Follow-Up Lesson 6 The Origin of Words Text Book Questions and Answers

Many words in the English langauge come from the names of people. Sometimes when something new is invented or discovered the name of the inventor or scientist is given to it. ‘Sandwich’ is such a word. You probably know its meaning. A sandwich is made of two slices of buttered bread with a thin spread of meat, or egg, or vegetable, pressed in between. You have perhaps eaten sandwiches. The word ‘sandwich’ comes from the name of an English nobleman. John Montague, fourth Earl of Sandwich, lived in the eighteenth century.

He was fond of playing cards. Often he would play cards for hours and hours. Once he played day and night, for twenty-four hours ! On such occasions he would not go home to eat. His servant would bring him meat and bread. But the Earl of Sandwich did not wish to stop playing even to eat. So, he would put the meat between two slices of bread. Holding this, and eating it. he would go on playing. Soon other people began to do the same thing with meat and bread. The new way of eating was very easy. And they called the new preparation sandwich, after the Earl of Sandwich.

Here is a story about another English word. Gandhiji asked Indians to boycott British goods. He meant that they should not buy British goods. When you boycott something, you refuse to buy or use it. When you boycott someone, you refuse to have any dealings with him, that is, you refuse to work with him or help him in any way.The word boycott was first used in Ireland. It comes from the name of an Irish landlord, Captain Charles C. Boycott. (A ‘landlord’ owns land; ‘tenants’ live on it and do the work). Captain Boycott’s tenants demanded that he should take lower rents from them. When Boycott refused, his tenants decided to teach him a lesson.

They cut off all relations with him. No one would work for him. His servants were forced to leave him. His plants and bushes were tom down. They would not allow the postman to deliver his letters to him. Captain Boycott was now in real difficulty. When the com was ripe in the field, he had to get workers from another part of the country for harvesting it. The government had to send 900 soldiers, to protect these workers from the people. Captain Boycott was indeed in trouble ! So then, we have the word boycott. To boycott someone is to treat him as poor. Captain Boycott was treated so.

(ନିମ୍ନ ବିଷୟଟିକୁ ନୀରବରେ ପଢ଼ ଏବଂ ନିମ୍ନ ପ୍ରଶ୍ନଗୁଡିକର ଉତ୍ତର ଦିଅ ।)
There lived a poor fisherman with his wife and children in a hut near the sea. Everyday he used to go to the sea and catch fish. ’
One day, as usual, he went to the sea. He threw his net into the sea, and when he pulled it out, he felt it very heavy. But there was no fish in it. He saw a log of wood in the net. He felt sad. He threw the net for the second time. This time he got a few shells and big stones. When he tried it for the third time, he found it heavier. This time too he did not see any fish in it but a big brass jar with a lid.
Taking the jar out of the net, he opened it. A lot of smoke came out of it. Suddenly a jinni appeared in the smoke. On seeing the jinni, he screamed. “I’ll kill you now” shouted the jinni.
“Why ?” asked the fisherman and said, “I haven’t done you any harm. Please don’t kill me.”
“I was in the jar. I was not free. Now I am free. I will kill you and eat you up” said the jinni. The fisherman was afraid of the jinni. He did not know what to do. Suddenly he got a clever idea and said, “Alright, you can kill me but I don’t believe what you say. You are very big. How could you come out of this jar ?”
The jinni got angry. “How dare you say I cannot come out of this jar ? I can take any form. I can take the form of an elephant or become even a small ant,” said the jinni.
“Is it so ? Can you become an ant ?” said the fisherman cleverly.
“Surely,” said the jinni and immediately took the form of an ant and got into the jar again. The fisherman immediately shut the jar tight and said with a grin, “Now I believe your story, my friend, you cannot come out any more and kill me ?” Then he threw the jar into the sea and returned home happily.

Scene – 2 (ଦୃଶ୍ୟ – ୨)

Place    : Another part of the jungle.
[The Brahman first meets a peepal tree, and tells it the whole story. He then asks whether the tiger is not showing ingratitude in trying to kill one who did a favour]
Tree          : What have you to compain about ? I am treated just as badly as every day. Don’t I give shade and shelter to everyone who passes by, and don’t people in return tear down my branches to feed their cattle ? Is it the way of the world ? So don’t complain be a man !
Tiger        : Now you are satisfied, aren’t you. O’ Brahman ?
Brahman : Not at all. Here comes an old dog. I must ask him; I am sure he willtell a different tale.
[An old dog cornes slowly along the path. He is toothless and half blind, and looks very angry J
Brahman : (To the dog) — 0 dog, I have just let this cruel tiger out of the trap. Now he wants to kill me and eat me. Is that fair? Is this the way in which kindness is repaid in this world?
Dog        : Fair or not, I don’t know. But this is the usual treatment we get from our masters. Look at me! When I was young and useful to my master, guarded his house and helped him in hunting, he treated me with kindness and gave me good food to eat. Now I am old and weak, toothless and half-blind. Does my master reward me for the past services? No ! Instead, he has driven me out to starve. It is the way of the world, and you must put up with it.
Tiger       : Ha! Ha ! The second witness also goes in my favour. Prepare to die, Holy Brahman.
Brahman : But wait just one moment, My Lord. Here comes a jackal. Let me ask him also. [A jackal comes along the path. The Brahrnan tells him the whole story]
Jackal      : I dont follow much. Please tell me once again.
Brahman : This tiger was caught in a trap. I took pity on him, and let him out. Now he wants to kill me and eat me. This is the way he rewards me.
Jackal      : I am afraid I don’t understand. All seems to go in at one ear and out at the other! I will go to the place where it all happened and then perhaps I shall be able to give a judgement. [So they return to the trap]

Every month two or three babies die due to branding in our state. When a baby has a fever or diarrhea or any other diseases, the illiterate parents and grandparents call the village quack, the disari. The quack, the village doctor puts hot iron rods on the stomach of the babies as a cure. Instead of getting cured, the babies die. But these blind practices continue. What can we do to check such blind practices? You are studying in schools. You know if we suffer from diseases, we should go to a qualified doctor, not to an illiterate disari or a village quack. As you are educated, you have a role to play in this regard. Tell the people not to go to a disari or a village quack. Ask them to go to a hospital for treatment. Talk to your classmates, form a group to fight against the bad and blind practices of branding in and around your village and locality.

• Socialization (ସାମାଜିକୀକରଣ):
• In the main lesson the father learned a lesson from his son. The son taught the father that the poor people are. in fact, rich. In this follow-up lesson you will read about a small girl of class-V leading a movement against bazzar notebooks. Let’s read and see how cheap bazaar notebooks do more harm than good.

1. One evening Mitu and Situ, two sisters, were studying in their room. Mitu studies in class VII and Situ in Class V. The two sisters were studying in two different schools. Their uncle, Mr. Giri, was watching them from a little distance. He was a retired teacher. He had come to visit them on a week-end. Mr. Giri saw Mitu reading one paragraph from her English textbook then reading the meaning of this paragraph in Odia from a bazaar notebook (Meaning book), which disturbed him. ‘If children study English like this, they will never learn English’, he thought.

2. The uncle was eager to help Mitu learn English on her own without the help of this meaning book. He came close to her and asked her to read the first paragraph of the lesson silently. The lesson was “The Story of Cricket”. The first paragraph was: The shape and the size of a cricket ground are not fixed. They are different. The cricket ground of Melbourne in Australia is bigger than that of Feroz Shah Kotla in New Delhi. Similarly the shape of Chepauk Cricket Ground in Chennai is circular. But the Adelaide Cricket Ground in Australia is oval.

She also banned the use of bazzar note books in their school. She made Situ the leader of the movement against meaning books in their school.

1. An animal that lives in the desert is the camel. People kept camels as pets many thousands of years ago. Camels usually live in small groups of up to thirty animals. Camels have long, shaggy winter coats to keep warm, and shorter, tidier coats in the summer to keep cool. A thirsty camel can drink as much as thirty gallons of water, about five hundred full glasses, in just ten minutes.
2. There are two different types of camels. One, known as the Dromedary, has only a single hump; the other is called a Bactrian camel and has two humps. The humps help the animal to survive in the desert by acting as storage containers.

1. There was a very big and handsome rooster. He looked like a king with his beautiful red crown. He also felt like a king. He got up very early in the morning, sat in a high place, and sang non-stop-cock-koo-doodle doo, cock-koo-doodle doo. He knew that his song was much better than the songs of the other roosters in his locality. But he wanted to make his song still better, louder, and clearer. But how to do this was his problem. It was a problem till a jackal suggested a way out.
2. The jackal saw the rooster singing every day early in the morning. But it sang keeping his eyes open. If he would try to catch the rooster, the rooster would fly away to the tree. This was what happened the other day when he tried to catch a rooster. So he came to the rooster and said, “Oh great, handsome, king-like rooster! Your song will be really nice if you sing closing your eyes.”
