Let us talk
Ö In your home too, do people quarrel over fans, TV, newspapers,
chairs or anything else?
Ö In your home, who settles such quarrels?
Let us talk
Ö Does this kind of thing happen in your house or in any of
your friend’s house? What do you think about this?
Ö Do you think that there should be different rules for girls and
180 boys, women and men?

Pilloo Aunty
One day, Pilloo Aunty took Phali and Nazu and their friends to
the beach. What a good time they had! They played in sand
and water, and then went for a ride on the Giant wheel. After
that they ate bhelpuri and bought balloons. Then everybody
enjoyed some icy cold kulfi. When the kulfi-seller asked for
money, he made a mistake. He charged for five kulfis instead of
seven. The children thought, “Hurrah! We have saved money.”
But Pilloo Aunty paid the money for seven kulfis to the kulfi-
seller.
The children will always remember what Pilloo Aunty did
that day.
Ö If you were to write a different ending for this story, how will 181
you end it?

Ö What do you think Akshay will do?
For the teacher: These examples reflect some situations that we face in our
daily life. These often affect us in different ways. Encourage children to 183
think about these and to express how they feel about them.

Ö If you were in Dhondu’s place what would you do?
For the teacher: Some children may have similar experiences as Ritu did.
It will help to build their confidence and feeling of support, if children can
184
discuss this in class. In case you feel the need, you could talk individually
with some of the children. If there is a counsellor in the school, you could
take their help.

Ö Have you ever disliked anybody’s touch? Whose touch did
you dislike?
Ö If you were in Ritu’s place, what would you do?
Ö Everybody’s touch is not the same. Ritu did not like it when
Meena’s uncle held her hand, but she liked to hold Meena’s
hand. Why do you think there was this difference?
For the teacher: You may be very careful and sensitive to deal
with children if they wish to share problems related to drug
addiction of their family members. The harmful effects of drugs/
narcotics may be discussed in the class. Such issues should also
be discussed in the inservice training programmes.
