Answers
Answer:
(a) We can say that the ‘bread-baking is still popular in Goa’ because we can see still the mould, mixers, furnances and also heralds selling bread in Goa.
(b) When the son of Kisa Gautami died, Buddha asked her to bring a handful f mustard seeds from a house where no one has died. She couldn’t find a house where no one has died and thus she was taught the truth of life that every creature has to die one day.
(c) Mijbil was a smart and friendly animal. He invented ping-pong game and he could splash in the water. He also enjoyed playing with marbels and other kind of games which shows him as an intelligent otter.
(d) Richard Ebright raised a hock of butterflies because she was very much interested in collected things and then her mother asked her to read a book named ‘The Traves of monarch X’ which inspired her to raise butterflies.
(e) Matilda was sad after the ball because she had lost the diamond necklace she had borrowed from her friend. She was worried about returning it as she could not afford such an expensive jewelry.
(f) When Martian commander Think- Tank saw the book full of nursery rhymes, he thought that it must be a book of Earthlings in which they’ve written about attacking the mars. So, he changed his idea of invading the earth and commanded his army to return back to their planet.
