Answers
Answer:
a) Friends, every evening I go to play in the park. Our society has Rajasthani people, Punjabi people, Jats of Haryana . Each day Mr Gehlot who is very friendly with children unopens certain legends. One such legend is on Rajasthan’s abandoned villages. It is the home to Kuldhara Village. Many people left the village because it had damaged many homes. A legend goes by saying that the ruler of the region wished to marry the daughter of the village chief. The insecurity of women was a serious issue and many men and women left their homes over night. Apparently it is said that whoever wishes to stay on would meet their death. The script is in Rajasthani language.
b) Not long ago Delhi would fear on the existence of a Monkey Man. He would sit on the parapet walls late in the evening. The Monkey Man is a utopian character and people describe him as a hairy creature who was close to six feet tall with shining red eyes, and a helmet. Each day the people would get up to hear a new version of the story. The police got into action and said that it was an imaginary story with less truth. The newspapers carried this story in various languages including Hindi, Bengali, English and Gurmukhi.
c) In 2017 Delhi, Palwal and Sonepat heard on a black cat which came and cut the hair locks of women in the house. Sheer panic gripped in the society since it had happened in many houses. The cat came through the windows and disappeared on its own. The story till date is largely remembered. Today this mysterious story is often remembered by people of all ages.
Explanation:
Answer:
Echo was a nymph who talked too much. She was very fond of having the last word. One day she spoke rudely to the great Juno, who said that for this offence Echo should never use her voice again, unless to repeat what she had just heard, but since she was so very fond of last words, she might repeat the last words of others. <br> This was almost as bad as if Juno had changed her into a parrot. Echo was very much ashamed, and hid herself in the forest. <br> Narcissus, a young man who had hair as yellow as gold and eyes as blue as the sky, a very rare thing in Greece, where most people were very dark, used to hunt in the forest where Echo was hiding. As she was peeping out shyly from some cave or from behind a great tree, Echo often saw Narcissus, and she admired him very much. <br> One day Narcissus became separated from his friends, and hearing something rustle among the leaes, he called out, “Who’s here” <br> “Here,” answered Echo. <br> “Here I am. ome” said Narcissus. <br> “I am come,” said Echo and, as she spoke, she came out from among the trees. <br> When Narcissus saw a stranger, instead of one of his friends as he had expected, he looked surprised and walked quickly away. <br> After this, Echo never came out and allowed herself to be seen again, and in time she faded away till she became only a voice. <br> This voice was heard for many, many years in forests and among mountains, particularly in caves. In their solitary walks, hunters often heard it. Sometimes it mocked the barking of their dogs, sometimes it repeated their own last words. It always had a weird and mournful sound, and seemed to make lonely places lonelier.
