Preface IMAX partners with schools, supporting them with learning materials and processes that are all crafted to work together as an interconnected system to drive learning. IMAX presents the latest version of the Maple series – updated and revised after considering the perceptive feedback and comments shared by our experienced reviewers and users. Designed specifically for state board schools, the Maple series endeavours to be faithful to the spirit of the State Curriculum Framework and National Curriculum Framework (NCF) 2005. Therefore, our books strive to ensure inclusiveness in terms of gender and diversity in representation, catering to the heterogeneous Indian classroom. NCF 2005 asserts that listening, speaking, reading and writing (LSRW) are all generalised skills, and students’ mastery over them is key to success at school. All these skills frequently need to be used together. Therefore, the Maple English textbooks and workbooks strive to provide adequate opportunities for students to practise all the four LSRW skills. To this effect, the Maple English textbooks and workbooks for state board schools offer the following features:  Themes recommended by the NCF across grades 1–5 in the literature pieces  Samples of Indian writing in English as well as popular English literature pieces from western countries  P ictures for word meanings in each lesson to help students with visual clues for new or difficult words  Non-detailed lessons to enable additional reading  A speaking project and two reading comprehension passages in each unit to further hone speaking and reading skills  H orizontal and vertical progression across grades for the grammar concepts covered in the workbooks, providing a spiral of cumulative learning  Samples of format-based writing to provide for scaffolding of learning of formal writing Overall, the IMAX Maple English textbooks, workbooks and teacher companion books aim to generate greater engagement with and enhance fluency in English language communication and empower students to develop a genuine appreciation of the language and its literature.  – The Authors NR_BGM_181910050_Maple G5_Textbook Integrated_Term1_text.pdf 4 2/17/2018 4:03:38 PM

Reading the Text The statue of the happy prince stood high above the city. It ruby was covered with gold, its eyes were of sapphire, and a ruby migrating hung from its waist. One day, a swallow migrating to distant lands swallow sapphire for the winter stopped at the foot of the statue to rest. However, as he put his head under his wing, a large drop of water fell on him. He looked up and saw the eyes of the happy prince filled with tears. ‘Who are you?’ asked the swallow. ‘I am the happy prince.’ ‘Then why are you crying?’ asked the swallow. ‘When I was alive,’ said the prince, ‘I lived in a palace where there was no sadness. I played and danced with my friends in the garden. There was a high wall, and I did not know what lay on the other side. I was called “the happy prince”. Now I am dead, and they have put me up here. I can see all the unhappiness around me now.’ ‘Far away,’ said the prince, ‘I can see a woman. Her face is thin, hands rough and red. Her little boy is very ill. Will you take my red ruby to her?’ The swallow took the red ruby, put it on the table and flew back to the prince. ‘It’s strange’, the swallow said. ‘It is very cold, but I feel quite warm.’ ‘That is because you’ve done a good thing.’ ‘Across the city, I can see a writer who is very cold, weak and hungry. Give him one of my eyes’, said the prince. ‘He can sell it and buy wood and food.’ The swallow took out the prince’s eye, flew to the young man and left the jewel on the floor. ‘A little girl is standing there in the square below. She has no money. Take out my other eye and give it to her’, said the prince. ‘I cannot take out your other eye.

The prince now depended on the swallow to describe whatever he saw. Whenever the prince heard of some suffering, he asked the swallow to take off one piece of gold from his body and give it away. Winter set in, but the swallow stayed back. It grew colder and colder. Nevertheless, the swallow did not leave. One day, gathering up his last bit of strength, the swallow flew up, said goodbye to the prince and fell dead at his feet. The people noticed the statue, bare of all the jewels, and pulled it down and threw it along with the dead swallow. However, those who had received help had love and gratitude in their hearts for the happy prince and the swallow. Real happiness is found in making others happy. Nothing is more precious than a heart that cares for others. – Adapted from ‘The Happy Prince’ by Oscar Wilde Let Us Discuss 1) What was the prince’s statue made of? 2) Who came to rest at the foot of the statue one day? 3) Why was the prince called ‘the happy prince’? 4) What did the people of the city do when they saw the bare statue?

R1 Reading Comprehension Passage 1 Read the passage and answer the questions given below. Long ago, in a distant land, there was a Queen named Rukmini. She had a large kingdom. The people of the kingdom loved and respected her a lot. One day, it was her daughter’s birthday. A lot of people, friends and relatives were invited to the party. The king and queen received them graciously. The children played happily as everyone interacted with each other. All except one child. He was very well dressed but went around bullying and picking fights with the other children. No one scolded him or tried to stop him. At one point, he pushed a small girl. She fell and started crying. At this point, princess Onkara came and stood right in front of him. ‘You have no right to do that, apologise to the girl’, she said. ‘Apologise to a girl, never!’ was the reply. ‘This is not acceptable’, said Onkara firmly. Nobody had spoken to the boy like this. He got scared and ran to his father who was the king of an equally powerful kingdom. His father asked him what the matter was. The boy narrated the incident as the king listened keenly. Then he spoke out loud and clear, ‘Go and apologise to the small girl and the princess. You cannot talk and behave like this with anyone.’ The boy sheepishly walked up to the girls and apologised. 1) Why were the people invited? Ans.   2) What did the king ask his son to do?

Edward Lear was an illustrator, landscape painter, author and poet. Lear is still remembered for his ‘nonsense poetry’ for children, known as ‘limericks’ today. Before Lear’s writings, most literature for children was filled with ‘common sense’ instruction. Edward Lear was a pioneer of short and funny poetic rhymes. For this reason, Edward Lear has become a truly evergreen author, fondly nicknamed as the ‘Father of Limericks’. Edward Lear’s nonsense poems and drawings enabled a much-needed comic relief for the rigid society of Victorian England. Children were raised very strictly in the Victorian times, and their education excluded humour or laughter. Imagine the sheer delight that the children must have felt upon reading Lear’s works, in which the most ridiculous and absurd situations were presented as rhymes! Lear’s limericks are genuinely meaningless and lacked any punchline or purpose. Regardless of this, they were a desirable source of entertainment and escape from the repressive norms of the Victorian society.

Reading the Text Clowns and court jesters appear funny. Nevertheless, at the same time, they can convey serious messages that can make us think. Akio was one such witty court jester. He was considerate, self-confident and one of the king’s favourite members of the court. Everyone loved and court jester respected him. One day, a man decided to test Akio. He said, ‘Akio, I was sleeping with my mouth open last night. A rat entered and disappeared into my stomach. What should I do now?’ Akio replied promptly, ‘My dear friend! You can only do one thing. Bring a cat and swallow it alive.’ Everyone laughed. The man fell silent. Another day, Akio was enjoying a feast with his friend. He spotted a fat man eating sweets and putting some away in his pocket. Akio got up and poured a jug of coffee in the man’s pocket. feast ‘How dare you pour coffee in my pocket?’ yelled the man angrily. Akio calmly replied, ‘Since your pocket has eaten so many sweets, I thought it might be thirsty. So, I gave it some coffee.’ Once, three explorers came to see the king. They asked the king three questions to which nobody had answers. The king was confident of Akio’s wisdom and wit. Therefore, he called him to the palace. Akio came riding a donkey with a stick in one hand. Akio requested the first explorer to ask his question. The explorer asked, ‘Where is the centre of the Earth?’ Without any hesitation, Akio pointed his stick towards his donkey. ‘Look, it is here, near the donkey’s right leg.’ The explorer looked surprised. He asked, ‘How can you confidently say that the centre of the Earth is there and not anywhere else?’ Akio said, ‘If you think my answer is wrong, find someone who can prove me wrong.’ The explorer was confused and remained quiet. Akio then requested the second explorer to ask his question. The second explorer asked, ‘Akio, how many stars are there in the sky?’ Three Questions 21 NR_BGM_181910050_Maple G5_Textbook Integrated_Term1_text.pdf 27 2/17/2018 4:03:40 PM

‘That is an easy question’, Akio immediately replied. ‘It is the same as the hairs on my donkey’s body. No more, no less.’ The explorer asked how he could prove it. Akio said, ‘If you think my answer is wrong, why don’t you count the hair on my donkey. Then, match it with the number of stars and prove me wrong.’ The explorer was puzzled. Now, Akio requested the third explorer to ask his question. The third explorer had a long, white beard. He asked, ‘Akio, can you count the number of hairs in my beard?’ puzzled Akio said, ‘I repeat, it is the same as the number of hairs on my donkey’s body.’ The explorer decided not to question Akio any further. Finally, the three explorers left the country. The king was very pleased with Akio’s witty responses.

Reading the Text Setting: The play is set in a classroom. There are colourful charts on the walls. The teacher’s desk and a blackboard are on one side. Cast: Anjali Ma’am – a young, enthusiastic teacher who is very gentle towards her students A class of twenty students, including Rohit, Ayan and Shreya Anjali Ma’am : (with a cheerful smile) Good morning, children! Class: Good morning, Ma’am. Anjali Ma’am : Do you remember what we learnt yesterday? Class : Yes, Ma’am. We learnt to count and add things. Anjali Ma’am : D o you know why we need to count? Imagine that you have a few sheep. Every morning, you let them out, and every evening, you see them safely back in. How do you know you’ve got them all back? Class : W e will count the sheep when they go out and then count them when they come back. Anjali Ma’am : T hat’s good. Now, if you have five sheep and five dogs, how many animals do you have in all? Class : (holding up both hands and wiggling their fingers) We will have five sheep and five dogs, so that makes it ten animals. Anjali Ma’am : V ery good. Shreya, if I give you two mangoes and then two more, how many mangoes will you have? Shreya : Four mangoes, Ma’am. Anjali Ma’am : E xcellent! Ayan, if you have two oranges and I give you six more, how many oranges will you have? Ayan : Eight oranges, Ma’am. Anjali Ma’am : C orrect. I am very happy with the class today. One more question. Rohit, if I give you four apples and then four more, how many apples will you have? Rohit : (counts on his fingers, thinks and answers confidently) Four. The teacher is disappointed. 26 NR_BGM_181910050_Maple G5_Textbook Integrated_Term1_text.pdf 32 2/17/2018 4:03:40 PM

Anjali Ma’am : P erhaps you did not hear properly. Listen carefully, Rohit. It’s very simple. If I give you four apples and then four more, how many apples will you have? Rohit sees her expression and realises that his answer is not what she expected. Rohit : (hesitatingly) Four? A thought occurs to the teacher. Possibly, Rohit does not like apples, and so he cannot focus on the sum. She thinks of a different approach. Anjali Ma’am : Wait a minute. I know you love cherries, don’t you, Rohit? Rohit : (smiling) Yes, Ma’am. Anjali Ma’am : (with exaggerated excitement and twinkling eyes, victoriously wanting Rohit to answer correctly) Let’s change the fruit. If I give you four red cherries and then four more, how many red cherries will you have? Rohit : (again counting on his fingers, says confidently) Eight. The teacher is happy and smiles victoriously. Anjali Ma’am : W onderful! That is right. Now, if I give you four apples and four more, how many apples will you have? Rohit : Four. Anjali Ma’am : (disappointed) But, how? If four cherries and four more make eight, how can four apples and four more make up four? Can you explain your answer, Rohit? Rohit : (softly) Yes, Ma’am. I live nearby, and Kamla didi drops me to school every day. Her son, Jignesh, goes to another school that is on the way. We walk to our schools together. Today, he was crying as he wanted to eat apples, and didi said that they were very expensive and she could not buy them. If I get apples, I will definitely share them with him. So, if I have eight apples, I will give half to him. I will then be left with four apples. The teacher is very touched by this reply. Anjali Ma’am : Class, let’s clap for Rohit for sharing his apples. Class applauds loudly. Anjali Ma’am : I hope all of you will share your things with your friends like Rohit. – Manjula Shukla A Lesson in Addition 27 NR_BGM_181910050_Maple G5_Textbook Integrated_Term1_text.pdf 33 2/17/2018 4:03:41 PM

R2 Reading Comprehension Passage 1 Read the passage and answer the questions given below. The kingfisher is a small- to medium-sized, colourful bird, generally found close to water bodies. There are nearly 100 different species of kingfishers around the world. Kingfishers feed mainly on fish but also eat insects, frogs and crayfish. Kingfisher species that live in the woodlands occasionally eat reptiles, birds and even small mammals. There are three main types of kingfishers around the globe: river kingfishers, tree kingfishers and water kingfishers. All of them have large heads, long, sharp and pointed bills, short legs and stubby tails. Kingfishers are well known for their brightly coloured feathers that range in colour from black to red to green. Some species of kingfisher have tufts of feathers on their heads that stick upwards, although many species of kingfishers have smooth, flat feathers that cover their bodies. Due to their generally small size, kingfishers have many predators wherever they exist around the world. The main predators of the kingfishers are foxes, raccoons, cats and snakes, but kingfishers are also preyed upon by other small mammals and large birds. Many species of kingfisher are considered to be threatened species, as their numbers have been declining due to habitat loss. These threatened kingfisher species inhabit woodlands and forests. Their habitat is being destroyed due to the deforestation that occurs in many areas around the world. (Source: http://a-z-animals.com/animals/kingfisher/) 1) What do kingfishers mainly feed on?

He was the 16th President of the United States, from 1861 to 1865.’ Sarita bent forward and said, ‘Daddy, was his father also a President?’ ‘No, he wasn’t. In fact, Abraham Lincoln was born in a log cabin in Kentucky to Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks Lincoln. Abraham had an older sister and a younger brother who died in their infancy. The Lincolns moved from Kentucky to Indiana due to some land problems in 1817. They made a living by hunting and farming on a small plot of land. When Abraham was nine years old, his mother passed away due to “milk sickness”. After a few months, his father remarried.

Reading the Text Long ago, in the forests of the kingdom of Hastinapura lived a boy named Eklavya. Eklavya was the son of the tribal chief and was loved by all. However, he often remained sad as he wanted to learn archery. So, one day, he decided to go to Dronacharya, a master archery of military arts. He bowed and introduced himself to the Guru and said, ‘I am Eklavya, son of the tribal chief from the western part of the forests of Hastinapura. I want to be your disciple. Please accept me military arts and teach me the wonderful art of archery.’ Drona sighed and said, ‘Eklavya, as a teacher of the members of the royal family, I am not allowed to teach the art of archery to anybody else. I am forbidden from making anyone as powerful as the princes for the safety of the state’, he said. Eklavya was deeply hurt by Dronacharya’s refusal to teach him. He went to the forest, took some mud from a nearby river and made a statue of Dronacharya. Every day, Eklavya practised archery with sincerity and dedication and dedication became the best archer. One day, while Eklavya was practising, he heard a dog barking. He ignored it for some time, but the dog’s continuous barking distracted him. He turned around and fired seven arrows in rapid succession to fill the dog’s mouth without injuring it. As a result of this, the dog started to roam about the forests with its mouth open. It went to the same forest where Dronacharya was instructing the Pandavas, the members of the royal family, about a few finer points of archery. Everyone noticed the dog with arrows in his mouth. Guru Dronacharya was amazed and wondered, ‘Who could have pulled off such a feat of archery?’ They saw a boy dressed in tribal clothes. It was Eklavya. Dronacharya praised Eklavya and asked him, ‘Who taught you archery?’ Eklavya was thrilled to hear Drona’s praises. ‘From you my Master. You are my Guru’, Eklavya replied humbly. ‘Your Guru? How can I be your Guru? I have never seen you before!’ Drona exclaimed in surprise. ‘Dronacharya’, replied the boy. ‘I made your statue and worshipped it every day. Thanks to it, I have become a good archer.’ Hearing this, Dronacharya became silent. He had promised the king to make Arjuna the best archer in the world. After some thought, he asked, ‘Where is your guru dakshina? You have to give me a gift for your training.’ ‘Dronacharya, you are my Guru. I will offer whatever you ask for’, replied Eklavya.

‘I would like to have your right-hand thumb as my guru dakshina’, Dronacharya declared. Eklavya stood silently, for without his thumb he could never shoot arrows again. But he said ‘Ok Gurudev’, and he gave his thumb to his teacher. The sage was humbled. Dronacharya blessed the young archer for his courage. ‘Eklavya, even without your thumb, you’ll be known as a great archer. I bless you that you will be remembered forever for your devotion to your guru’, said Dronacharya and left the forest. devotion – Adapted from the Mahabharata Let Us Discuss 1) To whom did Eklavya go to learn archery? 2) What did Eklavya do after Dronacharya refused to teach him? 3) What is guru dakshina? 4) How did Dronacharya bless Eklavya?

Don’t you remember how we used to do so on our birthdays?’ answered Jo. ‘I used to be so frightened when it was my turn to sit in the chair and see toasting you all come marching round to give the presents with a kiss. I liked the things and the kisses, but it was dreadful to have you sit looking at me while I opened the bundles’, said Beth, who was toasting her face and the bread for tea at the same time. 44 NR_BGM_181910050_Maple G5_Textbook Integrated_Term1_text.pdf 50 2/17/2018 4:03:42 PM
