"But its wood is still strong. I can make some tables and chairs with the wood." He took a sharp axe in his hands and stuck at the roots of the tree. At once, the birds and animals in the tree cried aloud. The grasshoppers, the sparrows and the squirrels came out of their holes and nests. ``Please sir," they begged the farmer. ``Save this tree. It's our only home!" But the farmer did not listen to them. He went on striking at the tree harder and harder. As the farmer raised his axe one more time, he saw something in the hollow of the tree. It was a beehive. It was full of honey. He tasted the honey. "Ummmmm! It tastes so sweet," he said. ``So," said the farmer, ``the tree is not useless after all. If I take some honey now, the bees will make more. They won't go away from their home." "Listen!" he cried to the birds and the insects, "I shall not cut down this tree. It's your home. You can live in peace now." And he threw his axe away. "The farmer isn't a kind man," said the sparrows, the grasshoppers and the squirrels, "He wants the tree because there is honey in the beehive."

CUT YOUR COAT ACCORDING TO YOUR CLOTH. If you give a piece of cloth to a tailor to make a coat, the tailor will first measure the cloth and then decide what kind of coat has to be made out of it. He will not be able to make a coat that requires more material than the cloth provided. The same is the case with our expenses and income. Our expenses should always be within the limits of our income. Otherwise, we surely land in debit and difficulties. The proverb thus tells us not to spend more than what we earn i.e., to live within our means. The proverb applies not only to individuals but also to business establishment. Of course, a company may raise a loan to expand or diversify its business. But it must do it judiciously; otherwise it will be in deep trouble. Even the government of a country has to keep in mind its total resources while spending .If it does not do so and goes on borrowing recklessly from the people and from foreign countries, it would become bankrupt one day, and come to grief. So the proverb is of universal application. It teaches us that our actions should suit the circumstances or resources. The wisdom of the proverb would guide everybody to live and work within their means and to avoid possible shame or punishment resulting from living beyond their means

A BAD DREAM

Read the following extract and answer the questions given below : The sky blazed with stars. Presently the moon rose. The sight of bear tracks in the dust - the square front paw and long back one with the shaggy claws-made him glance round uneasily. He had once seen a man who had been mauled by a bear all his face torn away. He quickened his steps. Soon, on a cliff above a river-bed, Sher Singh knew he could go no further without rest. He set Kunwar down gently. Suddenly all Sher Singh’s muscles, shrinking back to their natural position, thrilled with piercing pain, he lay against a tree with his eyes shut, recovering. It was then he heard the jostle and squeal, of elephants. Below him on each side of the shallow riverbed, the elephants travelled. He could see the cows and babies and one great old tusker. He was playing his trunk to and fro to learn whatever the breeze could tell him, and suddenly he hesitated. Sher Singh chilled with fright, with Kunwar to carry, he could neither climb nor run. Prayer after prayer fled up from his frightened spirit. The tusker snorted, trumpeted, shook his head. Suddenly, he hurried on angrily up the river-bed, and all the herd with him. They disappeared.

THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE RULES THE WORLD

The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand of the mother. The proverb therefore implies that the very same mother who rocks the cradle to put her child to sleep, also rules the world. How is this so? The world ‘ rule ‘ in the proverb does not necessarily means to ‘ govern ‘. It is used in a wider sense i.e., to influence people, to guide and direct them and to lead them. It is the mother who moulds the character of the child. The child then grows up to be an important personality, perhaps someone who guides the destinies of the people of states or countries. What they have been taught on their mother’s lap will then be the guiding force behind the decisions they make. No wonder it was that Abraham Lincoln said, ” All that I am or hope to be I owe to my angel mother. ” We have an example of Jijamata who inspired Shivaji Maharaj as a child with stories of great heroes. It was this inspiration that led him to lead the battle for Hindavi Swaraj and to establish the Maratha kingdom You may not turn out to be a great ruler, but what you have been taught by mother during childhood will be the guiding force in all that you do during your lifetime

FIGURES OF SPEECH The Figure of Speech is departure from the ordinary form of expression, or the ordinary course of ideas in order to produce a greater effect. Figure-of-Speech may be classified as under: 1. Those based on resemblance • Simile • Metaphor • Personification • Apostrophe 2. Those based on Contrast: • Antithesis • Epigram 3. Those based on Association: • Metonymy • Synecdoche

4. Thos depending on Construction: • Climax • Anticlimax Let us see one by one.

SIMILE: In Simile, a comparison is made between two object of different kinds which have at least one point in common. The Simile is introduced by the word ‘as…as’. Examples: • As active as quicksilver • As afraid as a grasshopper • As ageless as the sun • As agile as a cat • As agile as a monkey • As alert as a bird • As alike as two peas • As alone as a leper • As alone as Crusoe • As ambitious as the devil This Figure-of-Speech is widely used by us in our writings. METAPHOR: A Metaphor is an implied Simile. It does not, like a Simile, state that one thing is like another or acts as another, but takes that for granted and proceeds as if two things were one.

Thus when we say, ‘He fought as fiercely as a lion’, it is Simile. But when we say, ‘He was a lion in the fight’, it is Metaphor.

Examples: • The camel is the ship of the desert. • Life is a dream. • The news was a dragger to his heart. • Revenge is a kind of wild justice. NOTE: Every SIMILE can be compressed into a METAPHOR, and Every METAPHOR can be expanded into a SIMILE.

Examples: • Richard fought as fiercely as a loin. (Simile) • Richard was a lion in the fight. (Metaphor) • The waves thundered on the shore. (Metaphor) • The waves broke on the shore with noise like a thunder. This Figure-of-Speech is also widely used by us in our writings

(He is dead)

This Figure-of-Speech is also widely used by us in our writings. ANTITHESIS: In Antithesis, a striking opposition or contrast of words or sentiments is made in the same sentence. It is employed to secure emphasis. Examples:

• Man proposes, but God disposes. • Not that I loved Caesar less, but I loved Rome more. • Speech is silver, but Silence is Gold. • Many are called, but few are chosen. • To err is human, but to forgive on divine. OXYMORON: Oxymoron is special type of Antithesis, whereby two contradictory qualities are predicted at once of the same thing. Examples:
