\\ In the Mountains with Grandfather Heidi, a young Swiss girl has come to live with her grandJather, uho liues in a hut in the mountains. /a randfather opened the door, and Heidi followed him inro \\f a large room. A table and a chair stood in one corner, and Grandfathert bed stood in another. A large kettle was hanging over the fireplace. Beside Grandfather's bed was a ladder. Climbing up., Heidi arrived at a haloft, which was filled with fresh hay. Through a small round window she could look far down into the valley. \"I want to sleep up here,\" Heidi called down. \"It is lovely here.\" When Grandfather climbed up to the loft, Heidi had already prepared a neat little bed. She had heaped up the hay high, so that when she lay dowrl her head would lie opposite the window. After the two ofthem had lunched on bread, cheese and milk, they went out into the goat shed. haylofg a loft is a space above a room and below the roofofthe house. where things can be stored;a hayloft is used to store hay_dry grass
Grandfather swept the shed and put down fresh straw. Then, he went to a little shop beside the shed and made a chair for Heidi. A-11 the while, his granddaughter watched him with great interest. At last, the evening came. The old fir trees were rustling and a strong wind was roaring through the treetops. These sounds filled Heidi's heart with happiness. She was dancing and jumping about under the trees, when suddenly, a shrill whistle was heard. Down the mountain slope came one goat after another, with Peter, the shepherd boy. When they had all reached the hut, they stopped. Two beautiful goats came out of the herd-one white and the other brown. They came up to Grandfather, who held out some salt for them. Heidi was very excited. \"Are they ours? Are they going to stay with us?\" she kept asking. \"What are their names?\" \"The white one is Schwanli and the brown one I call Barli,\" answered Grandfather. \"Goodnight, Schwanlil Goodnight, Barli,\" Heidi called out, as the goats disappeared into the shed. Then she went insidg up to her bed, and slept in it as comfortably as a prince on his royal couch. Adapted Jrom Heidi by Johanna Spyri shrill: sounding thin and high shepherd: a person who looks after sheep, especially when they are out on the fields,eating grass

sr.{, \\ 'ffi a lfl:ff:::dactv,s ProJessor Challenger, Professor Summerlee, Lord John Roxton and Edward Malone hate gone to South America in search of living dinosaurs. Read on as Malone tells the story. (From left) Malone, Summerlee, Challenger and LordJohn \\ tr /e walked slowly through the woods. After two or three miles Y Y we came to a place where the ground was scattered with large rocks. We went carefully up to the rocks and looked over them. There was a large hole in the ground, with green pools at the bottom. The whole place was filled with hundreds ofpterodactyls. The young ones moved around the water. The mothers were sitting on their yellowish eggs. The males were tall and gray. They sat on stones with pterodactyl: a flying animal that lived in the time ofdinosaurs, with a lono head and neck,and a short tail
their huge wings closed, looking as if they were wrapped in shawls. The professors pointed out the fish and dead birds as the food of these creatures. Suddenly, Challenger, while talking to Summerlee, put up his head over the rock. At once, the nearest pterodactyl gave a shrill cry. A1l the males flapped their twenty-foot wide wings and flew up into the air. Soon, theywere flying round and round us. \"Run for the wood and stay together!\" cried LordJohn. The moment we tried to move away, the pterodactyls flew down towards us. The tips of their wings almost touched our faces. They pushed out their long necks and tried to hit us with their strong, sharp beaks. Summerlee was struck on his face. Challenger fell, and as I bent to pick him up, :,Q I was hit from behind. Thenlheardthe sound oflordJohn's gun. One ofthe creatures fell to the ground with a broken wing. Its ftiends flew higher at the sudden sound. \"Now!\" cried LordJohn. \"Run!\" We ran through the bushes. The pterodactyls came after us. But once we reached the trunks ofthe trees, we were safe, for those enormous creatures could not fly under the branches. For a long time, they flew above our heads, following us. At last, however, as we reached the thicker woods, they stopped chasing us, and we saw thern no more. Adapted from The Lost World by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle @

The Red-headed Woodpecker Baby l\\ f amma Red-headed Woodpecker bent her head and listened. J.YIShe could hear a tiny beak rapping on the inside of an egg shell-'tap-tap-tapl She hopped to one side ofher nest and looked at the four white eggs. Soon the rapping was heard again. One ofthe eggs moved on its bed ofchips. \"So it is that one,\" she cried. \"I thought it would be the first baby to come out. I was certain that I laid that egg firstJ' She looked very proud as the beak ofher eldest child came out through a crack in the shell. Nobody else could have told one egg frorn another, but mothers can remember such things. They love their children so much that sometimes they can see and hear a little better than anybody else. Mamma Red-headed Woodpecker stood watching while the tiny bird chipped away the shell and squeezed out ofthe opening. She did not touch the shell until the baby was out ofit. She knew that it is better for children to help themselves when they can. It makes them strong and capable. chipped: broke into small pieces
When the baby Red-headed Woodpecker had come out of the egg, his mother picked up the broken pieces in herbeak. She carried them far from the nest before dropping them to the ground. If she had let them fall right at the foot ofthe tree where she lived, then a weasel might have seen them and known that there are babies in the nest. He would have tried to catch them. The new baby felt cold and tired. Imagine how he must have felt, after growing for so long inside a warm, snug shell, to suddenly be without it and know that he could never again have it around him. Even if the egg had been whole once more, he could not have been packed into it, for he had been stretching and growing every minute since he left it. When Mamma Red-headed Woodpecker came back, she covered the shivering baby with her soft, warm body and he fell asleep.

Dear Old Billy \\ [ fe call him Old Billf, but he is noL really old. He is a young V V horse, full of mischiefl After he has been standing in the barn for two or three days, he acts like a wild creature when he is taken out. He runs round corners, and up and down the hill. But ifany children ride in the carriage, Billy steps as carefully as ifan extra jerk would break their bones. He is very fond of my aunt, who usually drives the carriage. When she goes to ride, Billy always expects her to give him something nice-an apple or a lump ofsugar. Ifshe has nothing for him, he grabs the corner of her scarf, or the ribbons on her hat, and chews them, so that she would not forget him the next time. IfAunt goes into a shop, and stays there too long, Billy steps across the pavement, pulling the carriage with him, and tries to get his head in at the door to look for her. There is another horse in the barn-a quiet, well-behaved horse called Tom. Sometimes, when Billy feels naughty, he puts his head carriage: here, a vehicle that runs on wheels and is pulled by a horse
over the side of the stall and nips Tom. He does not mean to hurt him, but just to tease him. One day, Aunt heard a great clattering in the barn, and'#ent to see what the matter was. When she opened the door, both horses were in their stalls, and all was quiet. But the neal-chest was open. Aunt closed it, and went out. Before she reached the house, the noise began again. So she went back quietly, and looked in at the window She saw that Billy had opened the meal-chest and was putting his nose into it. \"Billy what are you doing?\" said Aunt. Immediately, Billy ran.6ack into his stall,.and stood there as quietly as possible. He had slipped out of his halter, and set himself ftee. Since then, we tie the halter more securely, but Billy manages to free hmself once in a while. taa I I nufston

Honesty Shops an there be a shop without a shopkeeper? Whom would you pay the money to? You could keep the money on the counter and come away, but would that be safe? What if someone took something but did not pay for it? Some people believe that such a shop could actually encourage people to be honest. St Clarett Higher Secondary School in Madurai opened a number of'honesty shops' in 2004 to encourage its students to be honest. In the beginning, some people did take things without leaving any money. But after some time, no one stole anything from the shop. Whatever was taken was paid for, even though there was still no shopkeeper or guard. Now there are more than thirty honesty shops, and they sell books along with snacks, pencils and notebooks. After the students have taken what they need, they drop the money in cash boxes. In London, a few years ago, a man called David Waterhouse set uP an honesty shop inside an old double-decker bus. That shop too, did double-decker: with two floors or levels
not have a shopkeeper. People left the money for what theybought in envelopes and dropped the envelopes into a letterbox inside the shop. The shop sold different things, like clothes, toys and tools. The bus had a tonductor'., however, who was there to help customers ifneeded. But as he stayed in his office at the top ofthe bus most ofthe time, he did not keep an eye on those who came to the shop. Even then, almost everyone paid the right price for what they took. There are similar shops in other parts ofthe world as well, such as Trust Shops in Bangalore where customers can even paylater. Some farmers in Mizoram keep vegetables, fruits and floweis in shops along a highway and go back to their farms. Ifyou decide to buy anything, you can leave the money in containers. The honesty shops have proved that sometimes, the best way to encourage honesty is to trust people. A little honesty shop in Scotland sellingwater bottles, chocolates andice cream, The smallboxis for droppingthe money. keep an eye on: watch carefully
