Question

Nature, the storehouse of all ideas and the mother of all inspirational resources, has inspired

poets, painters, musicians and even scientists for centuries. The beauty, the wisdom and the

ingenuity that inspired these distinguished people to create masterpieces is available in each

one of us too. In the course of a river, in the life cycle of a butterfly and even in a tiny seed…

nature has a message of inspiration. The birth of a plant is one such inspiring event- the root

and shoot of germinating seed exerts considerable force to burst open the seed coat and break

through the hard ground to begin its life. Each time a tiny seedling pushes its way through the

soil, the inspiration that nature sends us is that the roots of success are formed through hard

work.

One of the most inspiring phenomena in nature is the transformation of caterpillar into a

butterfly. Through the transformation of a tiny insect that once crawled to a brilliantly

coloured creature that can fly, nature gently unfolds the message: Good things come to those

who wait and inspires us to persevere. Each time a seed drives its way through the soil in

order to survive, each time a river overcomes a big rock in its path, each time a wiggly

caterpillar transforms itself into a beautiful butterfly, nature is inspiring you to excel. Next

time you want to be inspired, all you have to do is to look deeper into the natural world and

Q II Read the poem and answer the following question:

Timothy took his time to school,

Plenty of time he took.

But some he lost in the tadpole pool

And some in the stickler back brook.

Ever so much in the linnets nest,

And more on the five- barred gate.

Timothy took his time to school,

But he lost it all and was late.

Timothy has a lot to do –

How shall it all be done?

Why, he never got home till close on two,

There are sums, and writings, and spelling, too,

And an apple tree to climb.

Timothy has a lot to do –

How shall he find the time?

Timothy sought it high and low!

He looked in the tadpole pool

To see if they’d taken the time to grow

That he lost on the way to school.

He found the nest and he found the trees,

And he found the gate he’d crossed,

But Timothy never shall find (ah me!)

The time that Timothy lost.
