Answers
Answer:
1. Prepare a conversation between the boy and the Grandfather about the fight between the cobra and the mongoose.
Boy : Grandpa! I saw a horrible incident now.
Grandfather : What was it son? You seem to be so frightened.
Boy : Of course. It was a terrible fight between a mongoose and a cobra.
Grandfather : Where did you see them? Where were you then?
Boy : I saw them under the banyan tree. I was on the tree then.
Grandfather : OK. What happened then?
Boy : The fight continued for a long time and finally the mongoose killed the cobra. But a sad thing happened. A jungle crow who tried to help the mongoose died in the attack of cobra.
Grandfather : It is all natural, son. Let’s allow the mongoose to live in our garden so that it will not allow any snakes to enter our compound.
2. The boy was thrilled at seeing the fight between the cobra and the mongoose. You may also have the same feeling. Narrate the fight scene in your own words.
The boy was sitting on the platform half way up the tree. When he looked down one day, he saw a cobra and a mongoose being face to face beneath the tree. Soon the two animals started a fight. The cobra struck the mongoose, but the mongoose jumped to one side and escaped. He darted and bit the cobra on the back. The cobra struck again and missed. The mongoose jumped aside and bit the cobra. There was a third round of striking and biting. By this time the cobra became tired. The mongoose walked to it and caught it by the snout. The cobra writhed in pain and coiled about the mongoose. But it was of no use. The cobra stopped struggling. Then the mongoose gripped it round the hood and dragged it into the bushes.
