Answers
Explanation:
The emperor Akbar had many hobbies. He liked playing chess and flying kites; He liked listening to stories of other lands; but his favorite hobby was collecting horses, good horses.
One day a horse dealer came to the palace. He had a team of horses to sell. The emperor came out and looked at the horses.
“They are very fine horses,” said Akbar. “I’ll buy them. Have got any more?”
“No sir,” said the dealer. “But if you give me some money, I will go to Afghanistan and buy some more.”
Akbar gave the horse dealer two hundred silver rupees for the team of horses, and two hundred rupees more to bring more horses from Afghanistan. He gave him the money but he did not ask him any questions. He did not ask what his name was, where he came from, or where he lived. The horse dealer took the money and went away.
A few days later, Akbar asked Birbal to make a list of the ten biggest fools in India. Birbal made the list very quickly, and took it to the emperor. As Akbar began to read it, his eyes opened wide. The emperor’s name was at the top of the list!
“What’s this, Birbal?” the emperor shouted. “Why is my name at the top of the list?”
“You deserve to be at the top,” Birbal explained. “You gave money to a stranger, and you didn’t ask who he was or were he came from. Isn’t that foolish?”
“But I gave him the money to buy horses,” said Akbar. “When he brings me back the horses, I’ll……..”
“When he brings you the horses, I’ll remove your name from the top of the list, and I’ll write his name there instead,” said Birbal.
Then Akbar realized he had indeed been foolish.
1a) Take the story of “The list of fools” and write as many questions as you can think of; use as many question types as you can for each of the five levels. Obviously, you would not use all of them in one lesson.
