1. Once upon a time, there was a very rich man. He along with his family lived in a big palatial building on the top of a hill. His house was surrounded by tall boundary walls like the Chinese Great Wall. The walls were his protection from outside attacks. He too had private soldiers and a great bulldog to protect him. In moonlit nights the building looked very beautiful. From there one could see the river, small hills, long stretch of paddy fields, small huts of poor farmers scattered all around-all flooded by the magic of moonlight. During moonless dark nights the building had a special look of its own. The building, the walls all around and the gardens inside were lit by lamps. From a distance one could see dazzling stars in the sky but the small huts were sleeping invisibly at night. The rich man lived there like a king very happily.

His happiness got doubled when he saw the poor farmers living in small huts down the hill toiling hard in their fields. His only sorrow was that his U only son did not like all his richness and glamour. Often he found him sitting alone in his garden looking down the hill at the poor farmers toiling in their fields and the rivers flowing by. He was found to be very indifferent to all the richness and glamour of his father.

He thought this would work like medicine for his son’s sadness. When his son would see these poor people living in small huts, his sadness would disappear. He would realize how privileged he was in contrast to those poor farmers. In a beautiful car, he took him all around. He made him see the poor farmers living in wretched condition. For the first time his son who lived like a prisoner in a big house got the chance to see the outside world. Throughout the tour his father was telling how these poor people were living in great difficulty. On his way back, very satisfied, he asked his son, “Did you see how poor the farmers are? What did you learn from this ?” His son sadly replied,
“We have one dog, they have four.
We have one pool, but they have rivers.
We have artificial lamps, but they have the moon and stars.
We buy food, they grow theirs.
We have walls to protect us, they have friends.
We have encyclopedias, they have Bibles.
Thank dad for showing me
How poor we are
Really I want to live
With them there.”

Loveliest of trees, the cherry now
Is hung with bloom along the bough.
And stands about the woodland ride
Wearing white for Eastertide

Now my threescore years and ten,
Twenty will not come again,
And take from seventy springs a score,
It only leaves me fifty more.

And since to look at things in bloom
Fifty springs are little room,
About the woodlands, I go
To see the cherry hung with snow.

Slowly, silently, now the moon
Walks the night in her silver shoon;

This way, and that, she peers, and sees
Silver fruit upon silver trees;

One by one the casements catch
Her beams beneath the silvery thatch;

Couched in his kennel, like a log.
With paws of silver sleeps the dog;

From their shadowy cote the white breasts peep
Of doves in a silver-feathered sleep;

A harvest mouse goes scampering by.
With silver claws, and silver eye;

And moveless fish in the water gleam,
By silver reeds in a silver stream.

Walter de la Mare

Answer:
This poem is an old poem. Because nowadays we do not have telephone wires, but we have towers.

Question 22.

8. Let’s Think

Let’s see how poems are made. The poet saw cobwebs on telephone wires. Quickly he linked it to the unfinished clothes of the weavers. A comparison is made between the spiders and the weavers; maybe he saw the cobweb during the daytime. It looked white. Next, he saw the cobweb at sunset. They looked colourful. Lastly, he saw the cobweb in the moonlit night. It looked magical white. Quick linking, comparison, different scenes – cobweb in daylight, cobweb at sunset, cobweb in the moonlit night. All these sights appeal to our eyes. These are called visual images. We can close our eyes and see these beautiful sights. Then the lifeless objects are given life. The sun is pouring colour on the cobwebs. The moon changes the colour of the cobweb. Finally, the poet put all his thoughts and feeling in the form of a poem using the right words at the right places, some words rhyming with other words. All these have turned a simple and common sight into a beautiful poem.
Now the question is: Are poets born or made?
Is it possible to become a poet? Think, think, think ……………

4. The Santals, as you know, are freedom-loving people. In those days they lived a free life without any outside control. They cleared the forests, prepared fields, and grew different kinds of crops. The king had little control over them. Once or twice a year, they had to help the king when there was a war. But after the Plassey battle, the British became the masters of Bengal, Bihar, and Odisha. The king of Bhagalpur came under the control of the British. The British wanted to collect more money. They asked the king of Bhagalpuror for more money. The king in turn appointed outsiders to collect rent from the tribals. Some tribal villages were given ‘pattas’ by some landlords. The landlords asked the Santals to pay more taxes and often took away their property and lands.
5. Tilka did not like this. He asked the Santals not to pay taxes. The Santals became a real problem for the Government. To bring the Santals under control, a new collector was appointed in Bhagalpur. His name was Cleaveland. In different ways, he tried to bring the Santals under control. He appointed soldiers from other tribes to fight against the Santals. Tilka could not bear this. He was looking for a chance to kill Cleaveland.

Mum, you’re like an angel,
Sent from up above;
With all your kindness, tenderness,
And everlasting love.

You have always looked after me,
And taught me right from wrong;
And when I am down and worried,
It’s always you that come along.

You are not just mum but a friend of mine,
A friend I cannot replace;
And every time I think of you,
All I see is your smilling face.

I thank you mum, for bearing me,
And allowing me to see these times;
Because if it wasn’t- for you, dear mother,
