    Delhi
    Subject: Problems faced during rainy season

    Respected Sir / Mam,


    I am Sheela, student of T.D. Public School, Delhi, class 7. I am writing this letter with concern regarding the
    poor condition of road. During the rainy season, there is water logging everywhere, which makes it difficult for the
    commuters to walk or ride their bicycle or car even.
    It is extremely dangerous for people to come out of their house during rainy season as there are pot holes
    on the road which further lead to accident. Not only accident become a concern but for people living near such
    areas are also at risk due to the born of various diseases like dengue.
    An awareness must be created regarding this condition. So, it is my humble request that you highlight this
    issue in your newspaper and spread awareness among the public. Media is one of the most powerful tools these
    days. It holds the power to make and break the kingdom and can definitely urgent the government and the public
    to be more responsible towards water problems and measures for improving the roads. I hope you will consider
    this small request and take action on it.

    Thank you
    Yours sincerely,
    Sheela
    STORY

    WRITING
    The Brahmin and the Crooks
    In a small village in India, there lived a
    Brahmin named Mitra. Once he went to a
    nearby village to visit a devotee. The
    devotee gave him a goat. The Brahmin
    decided to offer the goat as a sacrifice to
    the gods.
    The Brahmin started his journey homewards
    He carried the goat on his shoulders. Three crooks saw him. They made a plan to get the goat
    from the Brahmin.

    The first crook stood in the Brahmin’s path. He said to him, “Ho Brahmin, why on earth are you
    carrying a profane dog on your shoulder ?” The Brahmin got angry. He said, “Are you blind ? Can’t
    you see that it’s a goat ?” The crook had played his part, and replied, “You may have it anyway
    you want.”
    A little farther, the second crook approached and said, “Ho Brahmin, shame on you, why do you
    carry a dog ?” The Brahmin looked at him angrily, and he too went away. However, this time, the
    Brahmin had begun to doubt his own senses. After a while, the Brahmin met the third crook who
    said what the other two crooks had already said. The Brahmin threw his burden of the goat away
    and went ahead. The waiting crooks caught hold of the goat.
    With the help of the given outlines, develop readable stories:

    The mice in a house…………. afraid of the cat hold a meeting ……………. one proposes to
    tie a bell round the cat’s neck……… all agree ………… who is to bell the cat? No mouse
    offers………. the cat appears……….. all run away.

    Answer
    Belling the Cat

    Once the mice living in a certain house were very unhappy. The cause of their worry was
    that there was a cat who used to kill them regularly. At last they held a meeting to see
    how they could get rid of the cat. One mouse said they should leave the house. Another
    said that they should not come out of their holes.
    Then a young mouse stood up and said, “Let us tie a bell round the cat’s neck. Then
    when the cat comes, we shall hear the bell and can get out of its way*.
    All the mice shouted “Good!” They all thought it was a very good plan indeed. Now an
    old mouse stood up and said, “The plan is, no doubt, good, but who will tie the bell
    round the cat’s neck?”
    No mouse offered to do it. Suddenly the cat appeared, and all the mice ran into their
    holes.
