Paragraphs
(1) The package was lying ( åZƒZ 7,
) by the front door- a cube-shaped ( úk ) carton (/e )
sealed with tape, their name and address printed ,
( åk’) by hand: " Mr.and Mrs. Arthur Lewis,
217-E,Thirty-seventh Street,New York, New York 10016." Norma picked it up, unlocked the
door, and went into the apartment. It was just getting dark.
(2) Inside the carton was a push-button unit fastened :N) to a small wooden box. A
( ZƒZæHE
glass dome ( hïz%) covered the button. Norma tried to lift it off ( **

place.She turned the unit over and saw a folded ( ZƒHµ ) piece of paper scotch-taped to the
bottom of the box. She pulled ( **
h 3Z™ é ) it off: " Mr.Steward will call on you at 8.00 pm."
(3) They went into the living room and Mr.Steward sat in Norma,s chair. He reachedB;)
( ÑZ e into an inside coat pocket and with draw ( Ñï ) a small sealed envelope (†Ö ) . "Inside
here is a key to the bell unit dome," he said. He set the envelope on the chair side-table. " The
bell is connected to our office."
(4) While she was on her coffee break ( M zÆñe ) ,she took the card halves ( } •) from
her purse and held ( ñŠ h ) the torn edges ( }g )ñƒÁ) together. Only Mr.Steward,s name
and telephone number were printed on the card.

elevator ( S¨ Ô À ) . Well, of all the nerve,( ñƒD Ñ~x »Ã[ ¡Zx Ó) she thought. She glared )
( Zg˜ at the carton as she unlocked the door. I just won,t take it in, ( āî Yá 7g0
+Z ÌZÐ Z~ ) she
thought. She went inside and started dinner.
(6) She sat in the living room ,

( ~} # ›;g ) , looking out the window. After a whileÆkŠ¼ )
Í ) in the broiler( ÐÛa )
( ˆ, she went back into the kitchen to turn the cutlets ( } •Æ“
. She put the package in a bottom cabient ( ~ä{−Æ~g ÓZ ) . She,d throw it out in the
morning.
(7) " I,m saying that they,re probably ( „¸ ) doing it for some research project /µóË )
Æ !" she cut him off ( K»]!*
ÅkZäkZ ) ." That they want to know what average people )
( vßÆ ZgŠ äxgŠ would do under such a circumsrance ( ~] Ñq , Z ) ! That they,re just
saying someone would die, in order to study reactions, ( aÆ·_Æ¿›g ) see if there would
be guilt ) , anxiety ( ì" ) ,whatever you! You don,t really ( ªZz ) think they,d kill
( x`
somebody, do you?!"
(8) While she was stacking bZ ) dishes, she turned abruptly ( 7

¶„g ™C -eZ ) , dried her
hands, and took the package from the bottom cabinet. Opening it, she set ( c*
ŠÄg ) the button
unit on the table. she stared ( Zg˜ ) at it for a long time before taking the key from its
envelope and removing ( **
U ) the glass dome. She stared at the button. How ridiculous, )
( &5 she thought. All this furore ( )uÔÁzgØ ) over a meaningless ( p" ) button.
(9) She felt unreal ( Ç) ) as the voice ( i ZzW ) informed ( Bq :Z ) her of the subway}i )
( izŠ accident _ the shoving ( hoŠ ) crowd, Arthur pushed ( c*
Š‡Š ) from the platform } F,
é)
( Ð in front of the train. She was conscious ( åx¥ ) of shaking ( „g h ) her head but couldn,t
stop.
(10) " No." She couldn,t seem to breathe. ( X '1gc‚ÅkZ ) She struggled ( ( ÅÒÃäkZ )
to her feet and walked into the kitchen numbly ( ÞË ) . Something cold ( kˆZÁy.6,)
pressed ( ÑZ e î !*
Š ) at her skull ( r â Š ) as she removed the button unit from the wastebasket )
@) visible ( ñW:Ã ) . She couldn,t see how it
( Ð yZŠ} hÃ . There were no nails or screws ( `
was put together.
(11) Abruptly, she began to smash ( **

g â ) it on the sink ( B ) edge, pounding ( **
ÎÁ¢ ) it
harder and harder H^ IÔŠ
( Ðgzigzi ) , until the wood split ( Š HO ) . She pulled the sides apart )

Where there is a will, There is a way
Paragraphs
(1) íI did not wnat to go with him. I had just walking a half mile uphill ( ³Ð) from my home
to him. I had carried ( åŠ
Há ) a basket of dishes to Mom.There were two slips ( ÇÅô ) in
the road and I couldn,t drive my car. And I knew hot hot it was ( X ¶{Š c* /
iXò¤ā å} Y~gzZ ) . It
was 97 in the shade -VŒ ) April my father had gone
( t‚ ) . I knew that from January until ( J
to eight different ( Z ) doctirs.One of the doctors had told him not to walk the length (, Ã)
of a city block. He told my father to get a taxi to take him home aÆäYy{zā c*
CÃyY!*
Zä kZ )
( áá . .But my father walked ( »wa ) home five miles across the mountain ( g 0*
kZÆh N )
and told Mom what the doctor had said.
(2) íI could not protest ( ` îZ ) to him. He had made up his min ( 1¯‚f CZäkZ ) .When he
made up his mind to do a thing, he would do it if he had to crawl ( -g ) . He didn,t care 7{ Zz6,)
( ¶Cƒ if it was 97 in the shade or 16 below zero, I wiped more sweat ( Ä) from my face as I
followed him down the little path between the pasture ( g Zi {! ) and meadow
(3) When I bought this little farm everybody around here said I,d end up (¢
8™ » ) with my
family at the country poor farm ( xg Ã„Š {g » **
) if I tried ( ÅÒÃ ) to make a living ( **
¾~izg ) here,"
he bragged again." " It took me thirty years to improve (* )
*™4) these old worn - out ( [ Zy
acres to make them do this."
(4) " I like these woods, ( ] Í) Jess," my father said. " Remember ( ?ìŠ c*
) when we used
to come here for hunt of squirrels * ) ? Remember when we sat beneath ( n) these
( Vc*
hickories and the squirrels threw green hickory shells ( ½) down at us? The morning wind ð )
( Zƒ~Q~QÅ just at the break ( 9z) of day in August was so good to breathe. I can,t foget
those days.
(5) " Oh, no, no," he said as he began to climb ) the second bluff ( y"~ŠÀ) that lifted
( −m
abruptly from flat # gŠÆ',5) on top of the mountain above
( g Zû) toward the sky. The pines ( |
(
us looked as if the fingers ( ñ÷á ) of their long boughs ( ñ÷
á D) were fondling ( V5Ò5½£ Z ) the
substance ( Šz) of a white cloud. Whatever ( ¼ ) my father wanted me to see was on top of
the highest point of my farm. And with the exception ( {z´Æ) of the last three years, I had
been over this point many times. I had never seen anything extraordinary ( à ©)) upon this
high point of rugged land ( }i g Zû**

) . I have seen the beauty of many wild flowers ( wY1 ) , a
few rock cliffs( 3"~ŠÀ~ß) , and many species ( x lZ ) of hard and soft wood trees.
(6) My curiosity ( ® ) was aroused. I thought he had found a new kind of wild grass 1)
( kv , or an unfamiliar herb ( K1~ a
[ c*
**
) , or a new kind of tree. For I remembered the time
he had found a coffee tree in our woods. It is, as for as I know, the only one of its kind growing
in our country.
(7) Only twice did my father stop to wipe ( Þ7) the sweat from his eyes as he climbed the
second steep bluff towards the finghers of the pines.We reache ( ‰ V ) the limbless trunks)
-ãá ZzVÕ of these tall straight ( ñ¦) pines whose branches reached toward the blue
(J
depth -ðZ÷ ) of sky.or the white cloud was now gone.I saw a clearing, a small clearing, of
(J
not more than three - fourth ( ðåa &) of an acre ( Zq
-ZÔw)BW ) in the heart ( ~‰z) of this
wilderness ,
( ~äZkz) right on the mountain top.
H
(8) Then he sat down on a big oak stump £(»o Ó ÷
-4E
( ôH á ) and I sat down on a small black
HEH(
gum stump ( ô-4£{ (»0
+Í ) near him. This was the only place on the mountain where the
sun could shine to the ground
and on t he lower side $Y¬) of the clearing there was a rim ( {],
(+ ZŠ ) of shadow over the rows
of dark stalwart ( gzW@) plants loaded ( ¸ñƒ}½) with green tomatoes.
(9) " Twenty time in my life, " he said,"a doctor has told me to go home and be with my
familyas long as I could. Told me not to work. Not to do anything but to live and engoy Iß}'
× )
( the few days I had left with me. If the doctors have been right," he said, winking ñƒDg âçW )
( at me, " I have cheated ( bŠ »ðŠ ) death many times! Now, I,ve reached the years the Good
Book ( [ Âkl) allows to man in his lifetime upon this earth ( 6,
}iñzgkZ ) ! Three score years
and ten ( w‚,) !"
(10) And somethind else, Jess," he said, motioning ( ñƒD™{g ÷
á Z ) for me to follow him to
the upper edge ( Zg )ÑZz6,
zZ ) of the clearing," you won,t understand ( ') until you reach three
score and ten! After these years your time is borrowed ( g JŠ Z ) . And when you live on that kind
of time, something goes back ( ,Š c*
Åèâ ) . Something I cannot explain ( ** # Ÿz) . You
CÐ s
go to the places you knew and loved. See this steep hill ( ~h N ~ŠÀ) ." He pointed down from
the upper rim of the clearing toward the deep valley ( ~Š Zz~÷ ) below.
(11) When she was nineteen and I was twenty - two cleared Hs ™) this mountain slope )
Z ) beans ( V ¦ ) , and pumpkins ( Ç) here," he continued.
( yZze together. We raised corn, ( ` **
his voice was rising with excitement á ZäkZ )
( Ðl ) - he talked with his hands,too. ÌÐVzg ÷
( X'!*" Those were the days. This wasn,t the land one had to build up ( **
¯4) . It was
already here as God had made it
¯Ð Zä\¬vZ‰¶+Z „Ðq zÑt) and we had to do was to clear the trees and burn the bush )
( åc*
( ~h Ä. I ploughed ( c*
Ì) this mountain with cattle ( Ð Vwñ) the first time it was ever
plughed. And we raised more than a barrel of corn to the shock r) . That,s why I came back
(ƒ
up here. I went back to our youth.And this was the only land left like that was."
(12) " And, Jess," he bragged," regardless ( ¸" ) of my threescore and ten, I ploughed it.
Ploughed it with a mule! ( ß) I have, with just a little help, done all the work. It,s like the land
your mother and I used to farm » ) here when I brought my gun to the field and took
( ¶Å“
home a mess of fox squirrels every evening.
(13) I looked at the vast mountain ( ~h N Wz) slope below where my mother and father had
farmed. And I could remember, years later, when they farmed this land. It was on this steep
slope( yZze ~ŠÀ) that my father once made me a little wodden plough. That was ]!* Å‰Ü zkZt)
( ì when I was six years old and they brought me to the field to thin corn ( *
*™ÁV‹ ðE ) .I lost
$N~ a
my little plough in a furrow ( à **
) and I cried and cried until he made me another plough. But I
never loved the second plough as I did the first one.
(14) Now, to look at the mountain top ( KaÅh N ) slope, grown up with tall trees, many of
them big enough to have sawed ( } 7,o) into lumber ( ~ÇCg q) at the mill ( : {g » ) , it was
**
hard to believe that my father and mother had cleared this mountain slope and had farmed it
for many years. For many of the trees were sixty feet tall and the wild vines ( Õ1) had
matted their tops together.
(15) " And, Jess " he almost whispered ( ÅÙÍu) , " the doctors told me to sit still and to take
life easy. I couldn,t do it. I had to work. I had to go back. I had to smell ( ~ 7,
7Î=) this rich
loam again. ( {g !*
zŠÃè&gi ) This land is not like the land I had to build to grow alfalfa.}ikZ}it)
EE
( ~ 7,™g »aÆäÇ Zî~©{¢=ì 7Ü .This is real land. It,s the land that GOD left. I had to come
**
back and dig ( ~ 7,

* /) it through my fingers again. And I
*™SeÍ ) in it. I had to smell it, sift ( Zg Z ¦
wanted to taste yams ( V îß ™ ) ,tomatoes and potatoes grown in this land.
(16) From this mountain top I looked far in every direction ( ‚ ) over the rugged ( g Zû**
) hills
my father and mother had cleared and farmed corn,( ` **
Z ) maize ( h ) and cane ( k
H) . The one
slope they hadn,t cleared was the one from which my father had cleared his last, small patch
( Z•‚ N*
g).
(17) /) I couldn,t climb straight
" Oh, yes," he said. Early last spring,( ~i ¸WÆg ·ÔÌñ¸¦ ( J¦)
up the steep path. That was when the doctor didn,t give me a week to live. I made a longer,
easier path so I wouldn,t have to do so much climbimg ( } 7,m

: ðJ m
{Š c*
i=) . Then, as I got
# Ÿz)
better, he explained,Ås
" I made another path that was a little steeper # gzZ )

( ~ŠÀÁ ) . And as I continued to get better Z
(Š
H@*
ƒ4~, I made steeper paths. That was one way of knowing I was getting better all the
time.

( g0
rear ( ~×) of the house.She switched on the light ( ð°HäkZ ) and left the d oor open. The
boy could hear other roomers laughing ( ñƒ¨) and talking in the large house. Some of their
doors were opened, too, so he knew he and the women were not alone. The women still held
him by the neck /J

( å3g} ñÐ yŠ¤-ÌZÐ Zä]gú) in the middle of the room.

6) In another corner ( :Ã ) of the room behind a screen ( {Š6,) was a gas plate ans as an
icebox. Mrs. Jones got up and went behind the screen. The women did not watch the boy to
see if he was going to run now, nor did she watch her purse, which she had left behind her on

purse, where he thought she could easily see him out of the corner Ë NŠÐ ã ‚ WÐ äÃÐ Z {z)

out, blondes ( à ZzVß !* cu) , and Spanish. Then she cut him a half of

Determination is better than opportunity because GOD helps those who help
themselves
Paragraphs
1) Our talk at the club one day was of opportunity ( µñ) and determination ( 2Ä³) .Some
said opportunity was required ( ì @*
ƒ~ggz¢) for success, and million ( VÅÑ) never had it; other
that only determination was needed. And then Jorkens joined in ( ì @ *ƒWÿL$÷á ) , all for
determination.If a man was determined to get anything,and stuck (ì*
@Y^ e ) to it long enough,
he got it,said Jorkens.
2) 'He'd make the money,' said Jorkens .' And he,d build a skating rink -Z ) in
( yZymºq
the Sahara and organize ( **
Zz™±) a competition there. He'd be skating champion all right, if
he really gives all his time to it.'
3) zŠ ) ,' said Jorkens, 'to whom his parents probably )

There was a young fellow ( ¶‚Ô„
( „¸ used to say the very things that we have been saying now; and very likely he, as many
young fellows do,may have wanted to prove them wrong. I don,t know: It was a long time
Å¬°»t) . But, whatever his motive

ago.( ì ] !* ( Ñ) was ,he hit on a most extraordinary ))
( à © ambition ( é Zp ) , and stuck to it.It was nothing less than to be appointed ( **
YKgH)
4) Never mind what country it was,' said Jorkens. ' And as a matter of fact -V ˜gzZ )
»|J
( ì m its customs weren,t so silly ( ÛZ ) as you suppose ( * Û ) . They had no post of Court
*™n
/~i !*
acrobat,( ¤ ~g !*
gŠ ) and never had had. But that didn,t stop young Gorgios. That was his
name ( åx **
»kZ¸ ) . He was a good athlete ( ~h î ) when he came by his wild idea ( y†) at
about the age of sixteen,and had won the high jump and the hurdles ( ›z»g ) and the hundred
yards /) at his school.
(¦
5) Simply by sticking to it,' said Jorkens. ' He went into politics (Š
H`~„
({z) . They all do
in that country. But he went into them harder than anyone else, and never gave up his
,
ambition( ÅuF:ÒÃKZäkZgzZ ) ) Of course ( G) he made speeches ,
(,k½) ,and fine ones, )
( ‰ÌhZ¹¼Ð~yZgzZ on many other subjects; but all the while he stuck to his one idea. The
years went by ( ‰ Dg ¦
/w‚ ) , and the day came when he had power enough ( °» ) to preach )
( ** á ) of their country
Øz y÷
C his ambition openly ( îW ) , and he told them how the glory ( •
and of its ancient ( *Š) throne ( ª) would be increased if the post of Court acrobat were
created.
6) Both ( VâzŠ ) parents of Gorgios were by then long dead. By Then, little remained to be
done: he had only to stick for a few more days to that wild idea of his, and then ,when the
question arose of choosing an athlete to fill the newly made post, whom could they choose {z)
h™ÉÃ¾ but the man who had worked for it all those years.
( ¸M
7) So Gorgios was appointed acrobat to the court, and learned so late in life, what always
take time, that his parents were right after all. It only remained him. And that is where I came
on the scene, wandering about ( @*

Q O˜ ) Europe as I used to do in those days when food
used to be cheap ( :) and I was young and could easily walk long distances ( V+Ã) .I came
to that country and they were wounderfully friendly zŠJ
( ¸„ -uÁyZª ) , and they let me see
the great ceremony $½) ,which took place as soon after the creation of the post ( ò ‚ W ) as
(d
Gorgios,s uniform could be got ready.And very magnificent +÷
( g Z0 á ) clothing it was, a tight fitting
suit of red velvet ( ³) , all gay ( Ùp ) with gold buttons and shining ( g ZÖ) with lines of gold
lace ( ¯Ô ~gze ) that wound and twisted × ) about it.
( ¶ðƒ~&
8) The great throne room á x) had been turned into a kind of gymnasium ( { Çligz)
( { #„ ÷
,with the members of Royal House seated along a raised platform at one end ,and the
principal officers standing beside and behind them. Great curtains of red and gold were hung
( ¸‰ ñ \
d) along the walls, and the high swings ( áÑ) of acrobats hung down with gilded
ropes from the ceiling and a row ( g ·) of neat hurdles was arranged on the polished floor: like
the ones over which Gorgios had won his race when at school.
9) I will not describe (*

*™yÒ) it to you because evrything there, the uniforms and the
ladies'( &Zp ) brilliants dresses +÷
( ‰k•~VÎ]g Z0 á ) was utterly ( Ç!*
) put in the shade ( t‚ ) by
# B‚ÆV,zg ~¯{Š c*
the moment when the doors opened with a flood of golden lightsZ i¹)
( ‰áÅ} i ZzgŠ , and the old man in his brilliant uniform appeared ( Zƒg ZŠ% ) between them for
the crowning ( Ù7` @*
) of his life,s work. His white hair and the red uniform of the court acrobat
shoed each other off to perfection ( Š) , and his thin figure ( Ÿ‹šŠ ) ) worn with age was
made all the more melancholy ( ÏŠfZ ) by the tight fitting uniform.
10) Once he raised a hand to touch the lowest ( "Ðƒ
) of the swings that were hung
from the ceiling ( ¿) But again the applause ( p° ) broke out , assuring him D ÑŠ¢Ð Z )
/
( ñƒ that no actual activity ( ò¤uÝZ ) ) was expected of him. And so; having made his
bows,he was led to a seat , his life,s ambition achieved . It must have taken him more than
sixty years to do it, since first he came by that strange ( Ð) ambition of his. But he did it. Not
many stick to a thing for so long.'

3) The child was fairly ( ã s ) eating me up ( ¶„g Yñ3=) with her cold ( Šß W«) steady ¨)
( ðƒ eyes, and no expression ( W,
@*
) to her face whatever. She did not move and seemed,
inwardly ( 6,
gîàŠ ) quiet
( yj6,
) ; an unusually ( 6,gîà ©)) attractive ( æ6,
) little thing, and as strong as a heifer K)
Ø ³z^) But her face was flushed ( cu) ,she was breathing ÷‚ )
( b§ÅñÇ in appearance ( >
( ¶„gá rapidly ( Ð ~!) .and I realized ( HkC ) that she had a high fever. She had
magnificent +÷
( g Z0 á ) blonde hair ( w!*
}¯) , in profusion ( ~] Ò ) . One of those picture children
often reproduced P, k
( ÷Õ ,¦) in advertising ( ~g 3Z ) leaflets ( t ZgzZ ) and the photogravure
section of the Sunday papers.
4) She,s had a fever for three days, " began the father, " and we don,t know what it
comes from. My wife ( ~ç) has given her things,you know,like people d o, but it don,t do no
good. And there has been a lot of sickness ( !* /
zÔ ~g F) around ( Š¤Šg Z ) . So we tho,t { thought } )
( eÎ you,d better ( ceÃ\ W ) look her over and tell us what is the matter (nç) ."
5) At that I ground (#
O) my teeth in disgust ( × ) . If only they wouldn,t use the word "
hurt " I might be able to get somewhere. But I did not allow myself to be hurried ( ~¢) or
distrubed ( y.6,
) but speaking quietly ( Ðò3, ÷) the child again.
) and slowly I approached ( c*
6) -eZ ) with one catlike
As I moved my chair a little nearer suddenly ( 7 ( Ü© ) movement
both her hands clawed ( ñ¯l) instinctively ( 6,
gî~¡) for my eyes and she almost reached
them too. In fact she knocked P ) my glasses ( 8 ) flying and they fell, though unbroken : )
(Ô
( KI , several feet away from me on the kitchen floor ( l
Û ).
7) " For Heaven,s sake," ( W ZzÆZ} w1~) . Don,t call me a nice man to her.
.) . I broke in ( Z 7,
I,m here to look at her throat (Š ) on the chance ( ykZ ) that she might have diphtheria ( t •)
and possible die of it." But that,s nothing to her. " Look here ", I said to the child ," we,re going
to lokk at your throat . You,re old enough to understand what I,m saying. Will you open it now
by yourself or shall we have to open it for you?"
8) Not a move wðÃ ) . Even her expression ( W,

( Å:• @*
) hadn,t change. Her breaths )
( c‚ , however, were coming faster and faster. Then the battle ( ðZ±) again. I had to do it. I
had to a throat culture

g§
( å'~~R,
parents that it was entirely ( 6, # Ÿz) the danger ( Å{ç ) but
gîå) up to them. I explained ( ~Š™s
said that I would not insist ( **
™g ZÜZ ) on a throat examination (¤ç) so long as they would take
the responsibility ( ~g ZŠ)f ) .

9) Then I grasped ( Zñ ) the child,s head with my left hand and tried to get the wooden
tongue depressor Šn) between her teeth. She fought, with clenched teeth ôÃV ÕZŠ )
( !WÑZzä!*
( ™ ,desperately
( Ð ~®" ) ! But now I also had grown furious ( åŠ … ) - at a child I tried to hold myself
Hƒu **
down but I couldn,t. I knew how to expose ( **
Z[ ) a throat for inspections(¤ç) .And I did my
best. when finally I got the wooden spatula (Ò ) behind the last teethand just the point of it
into the mouth cavity -Z ) but before I could see anything
( Ü) ,she opened up an instant ( œq
she came down again and gripped the
/) the wooden blade between her molars ( Vðh ZŠ ) she reduced ( Hsp) it to
( gá ~Ä¤
splinters ( ~Vz• ) before I could get it out again.
10) " get me a smooth-handled spoon of some sort ( n) ," I told the mother, " We,re going
throughwith this. " The child,s mouth was already bleeding. Her tongue was cut and she was
screaming ( ¶„g™g åzm) in wild ( u õ) husterical ( ªÅ6É0*

) shrieks ( S) . Perhaps I
should have desisted ( åce**

have been better. But I have seen, at least W ) two lying dead in bed of neglect ( „ Zz6,
( g »y Ñ) in
such cases, and feeling that I must get a diagnosis á ) now or never I went at it again.
(ø
11) In the final unreasoning ( wë**

and jaws ( } „) ) . I forced the heavy ( ~g ¸) silver spoon back of her teeth and down her
throat till she gagged
( ÐäWð•Z ) . And there it was-both tonsils ( Šz¼ÆI ) covered with membrane ( G) . She had
fought valiantly to keep me from knowing her secret ( i Zg ) . She had been hiding that sore

Paragraphs
1) One evening,as the sun was setting.some travellers ( á Zzä™^) stayed to rest undr a
clump ( }) of the tress and,loosing ( ñƒD hgî ) camels,set them to graze.It happened
that one of the animals entered a melon field,and that a melon ( {i1y
) struck ( Š
HS
-Z ) in its
its throat, and then struck the place with the greatest violence ( Ð]”~g7) . Instantly ( ~g ¯) the
melon broke in the throat of the camel, and it was theaen easily swallowed (Š
HF,
ZÐ² ) .
2) So they seized ( 1ñ ) him,being minded ( Ð wìÆ) to carry him before the king.One of
them,however, said." She was a very old women, who must have died ( å„*
*%[ Z&) shortly in
any case. Let us, therefore, compel ( ÷D™g6) the wretch ( Ãlç$ +) to dig ( **
ŠÅ ) her grave,

and then we van beat him ( Ð èG
G ,g â Ð Z ) and let him go."So they took him and set him to
work,but the ground was so stiff J and hard that he made but slow progress.
3) A pretty ( à ©) sort ( n) doctor you must be! cried they." efore you being your
treatment ( ` ´) ,you are talking of digging the patient,s grave ( G ) ! Away with you ( î Yv ¸) ;we
shall have nothing to do with you."
4) Hearing this,the pretended doctor ( ËZ e P) began to say himself;What an extraordinary

( à ©)) thing this is! My best plan surely ( éSE4¨GG
5G $ ) is to return to the camel men and tell them they
have not sh ow me the right way to cure this disease. Perhaps they will advise me."

( 1Y) them, he cried ( c*

0) Out ran Margaret to join them, looking at the hills. Out came the servants ( xi 5) from
the kitchen.They all stood and gazed +!*
( ìg Ù Š™|0 à) . Over the rocky ( ã") levels of the
mountain was a streak ( ÷) of rust coloured ( ˜g **
) air, Locusts. There they came.
1) At once Richard shouted at the cookboy ( c gz!*
) . Old Stephen yelled ( Zg å) at the
houseboy ( xi 5) . The cookboy ran to beat the old ( **
Z6,) ploughshare ( ÑM»I) hanging from a
tree branch, which was used to summon ( ** × ) at moments of crisis ‹gßò u)
š) labourers ( gzŠ'
( wq . The houseboy ran off to the store to collect ( aÆä™Ýq ) tin can, any old bit ( Z• ) of
metal. The arm was ringing with the clamour ( ¸¨zgØ) of the gong ( HH) ; and they could see
the labourers come pouring out ( ¸ìg W™çZçZ ) of the compound ( ö) pointing at the hills and
shouting escitedly
( Ðlzyzl ) .
2) And off they ran again, the two white men with them and in a few minutes Margaret
could see the smoke of fires rising from all round the farmlands ( E ) .Piles ( ƒe ) of wood and
grass had been prepared there. There were seven patches ( ] †) of bared soil,yellow colour
and pink ( ! † ) , where the new mealies ( ¿ÃÅh ) were just showing, making a film ( ]6,
) of
bright green;and around each drifted
( ¸ìg¾) up thick clouds of smoke. they were throwing wet ( 4 ) leaves on to the fires now,
to make it acrid /) and black.
( Zzš
( å it was like the darkness of a veldt ( y Zy»kv ) fire, when the air gets thick ( Í1) with
smoke The sunlight comes down distorted ( {”p’) ,a thick,hot orange. Oppresive ( Í1) it
was, too, with the heaviness ( {) of a storm. The locusts were coming fast. Now half the sky
was darkened. Behind the reddish veils Ù ) guards of
( [ Õ) front,which were the advance ( wzZC
the swarm( H) , the main swarm showed in dense r) black cloud,reaching almost to the
(…
sun itself.
4) Margaret was wondering ( ¶„g aÎ) what she could do to help. She did not know.
TYhen up came old Stephen from the lands. "We,re finished ( Š !*
',
) Margaret, finished! Those
beggars can eat every leaf and blade ( ì) off the farm in half an hour! And it is only early
afternoon....if we can make enough smoke,make enough noise till the s un goes down,they,ll
settle somewhere else perhaps....." And then: " Get the kettle (=) going.It,s thirsty ( ÑZzk\ )
work,this."
5) Looking out,all the trees were queer ‚ ) ,clotted ( ¸ñƒ}½) with

( Ð) and still ( •
insects
á ) weighed ( Òú1) to the ground.The earth seemed to be

+) ,their boughs ( ñ÷
( Ð V-Q
moving, locusts crawling ( ¸ìgj g ) everwhere, she could not see the lands at all,so thick
was the swarm. Towards the mountains it was like looking into driving ( h Y1) rain even as the
watched, the sun was blotted out ( åŠ
HÑ®Š ) with a fresh onfresh ( g ») of them It was a half
night,a perverted ( {”*) blackness.Then came a sharp crack( i ZzWÅUIÆqË ) from the bush
a branch had snapped off ( ¶ˆ^ I ) .Then another.A trese down the slope leaned over ( q)
and settled Hƒk1}i ) heavily to the ground. Through the hail ( Ð h Y1) of insects a man
(Š
came running.
6) The main swarm ( H) isn,t setting ( å;gï7: 1) . They are heavy ( ¸ñƒA) with
eggs.They are looking for ( ¸ìg™lˆ{z) a place to settle and lay ( bŠ} &
+Z ) .If we can stop the
body settling on our farm( E ) ), that,s everything. If they get a chance ( µñ) to lay their
eggs.We are going to have everything eaten flat ( óP) with hoppers ( } hc} Q ) later on."
He picked a stray ( ðƒ) locust off his shirt and split down ( c*
Š™} •zŠ ) with his thumbnail
( Ð o**
) it was clotted ( ¸Šñõ ) inside with eggs. " Imagine ( z™g¦) ) that multiplied bŠ[¢)
+Kg ) swarm on the march? Well,you,re lucky."
( by millions. You ever seen a hopper ( Vc*
Q
7) : It is very bad?" asked Margaret fearfully,and the old man said emphatically Ðgzi )
Þ ) ,but once they,ve started ,they,ll be

( .we,re finished.This swarm may pass over ( ñYT
coming down from the North ( wÑ) now one after another. And then there are the hoppers it
might go on for two or three years."
8) " For the Lord,s sake .) ," said Margaret angrily, still half crying ÐVgŠË )
( W ZzÆZ}
( ¹ñƒD ` "what,s here is bad enough, isn,t it?" For although the evening air was no longer
black and thick,but a clear blue,with a pattern M F,m{) of insects whizzling ( ‰„g —Æ ) this
(K
way and that across it,everything else trees, buildings, bushes,earth was gone under the
moving brown masses ( xW) .

9) But Margaret preferred ( ~Š ßF,
) not even to think of them. After the midday meal PzŠ )
( ˆÆä3Æ the men went off to the lands. Everything was to be replanted ¶* »{g !*
*™“ zŠ )
( .With a bit of luck another swarm would not come travelling down just this way.But they
hoped it would rain very soon, to spring( k
HZ ) some new grass,because the cattle ( 7ñ) would
die otherwise ( vŠ‹gz) there was not a blade ( ) of grass left on the farm.
10) As for Margaret ,she was trying to get used to the idea of three or four years of locusts.
Locusts were going to be like bad weather, from now on,always imminent xg D Ñr6,
u) . She
felt like a survivor
( ƒˆ${0

Happy moments should be enjoy with happy mood
Paragraphs
1) One dollar and eighty - seven cents. That was all. She had put it aside ( ¶ÅY) .One
cent and thaen another and then another, in her careful ( o Z) buying of meat and other food.
Della counted it three times , One dollar and eighty seven cents. And the next day would be
Christmas.
2) Only $ 1.87 to buy a gift for Jim. she had had many happy hours planning something
nice ( {÷ ) for him. Something nearly good enough. Something almost á È c*

( ã½) worth ( y ÷ á )
÷
the honour ( g ‡z) of belonging to Jim.
3) The James Dillingham Youngs were very proud of two things which they owned. One
thing was Jim's gold watch. It had once belonged to to his father. and, long ago, it had
belonged to his father,s father. The other thing was Della's hair.
4) If a Queen ( ) had lived in the rooms near theirs, Della would have washed and dried
( HÈ ) her hair where the queen could see it. Della knew her hair was more beautiful ]gzp )
Ù Zz´) and gifts.
( than any queen's jewels ( C
5) As soon as she saw, she knew that Jim must have it. It was like him. Quietness ( ÏŠ ‚ )
and value
for it. And she hurried home with chain and eighty -seven cents.
6) With that chain ( îi ) on his watch ( ~{ ) , Jim could look at his watch and learn the
time anywhere he might be. Though the watch was so fine, sit never had a fine chain.He
sometimes took it out and looked at it only when no one could see him do it.
7) When Della arrived home, her mind quietened ( yjæF

%N) a little. She began to think more
reasonably
( Ð ~qlƒ) . She started to to try to cover the sad marks of what she had done. Love and
large hearted
( Ð wŠA ) giving ( «) , when added together, can leave deep marks ( lÝ) . It is never easy
to cover these marks, dear friends - never easy.
8) Jim was never late Della held the watch chain in her hand and sat near the door where
he always entered. Then she heard his step ( i ZzWÅVñŠ) in the hall and his face lost colour )
( ;g * -g for a moment. she often said little prayers quietly ( Ðí) ,about simple every day
@Y8
things. And now she said: " Please GOD, make him think I'm still pretty( ]gzp ) ."
9) The door opened and Jim stepped in. He looked with very thin ( ‹š™ ) and he was not
smiling. Poor fellow ( {g œ) ,he was only twenty two ,and with a family to take care of! He neede
a new coat and he had nothing to cober his cold hands.
10) Jim stopped inside the door. He was as quiet ( lñ{) as a hunting dog ( Â ~g D) when it
is near a bird . His eyes looked strangely ( +ZÐ) at Della, and there was an expression
Ð i Z0
( W,
@*
) in them that she could not understand. It filled her with fear. It was not anger, nor
surprise ( yZª ) , nor anything she had been ready for. He simply looked at her with the strange
expression on his face.
11) " Jim, dear, " she cried, " don,t look at me like that. I had my hair cutt off and sold it.I
couldn,t live through Christmas ( …™ ) without giving you a gift. My hair will grow again. You
won't care ( z™:„? ) , will you? My hair grows very fast.It's Christmas, Jim. Let's be happy.You
don't know what a nice what beautiful nice gift +y
(j) I bought ( Zh ) for you."
12) "You don't have to look f or i," said Della. " It's sold,I tell you- sold and gone, too. It's
the noght before Christmas, boy. Be good to me.( î W7YZÐí ) Because I sold it f or you.May
be the Hairs of my head could be counted ( X ÃYKg Ñ) , " she said , " but no one could ever
count my regrard Ø ez› ) for you. Shall we eat dinner, Jim?"
(>
13) Jim folded his arms before her ( 1|0
+!*
ÐJgÃVð;LZt ‚ÆkZäW ) .For ten seconds let
us look another direction( ‚ ) . Eight dollars a week or a million dollars a year - how different
are they? Someone may give you an answer ( [ Z ) , but it will be wrong.The Magi brought
valuable ( Ë) gifts, but that was not among them. My meaning will be explained soon. x|Z÷)
( ÇñYƒãZz„¢.
14) For there lay the combs( Vé ) the combs that Della had seen in a shop window y»Š )
( Ð Å9Å a loved for a long time. Beautiful combs, with jewels, perfect for her beautiful hair.
She had known they cost ( 7) too much for her to buy them. She had looked at them
without the least hope of owning them. And now they were hers, but her hair were gone.p )
$¸[ Zw!*
( X¸T ÆkZ .
15) The magi, as you know, were wise men, wonderfully -u0Z]ª ) wise men who
(J
brought gifts to the newborn Christ-child. They were the first sto give Christmas gifts. Being
wise, their gifts were doubtless (µš) wise ones. And here I have told you the story of two
children who were not wise. Each sold the most valuable thing he owned in order to buy a gift
for the other. But let me speak a last word to the wise of these days: Of all who give gifts,
these two were the most wise. Of all who give and receive gifts, such as they are the most
wise. everywhere Ù ) they are the wise ones( ÷**

Trust in ALLAH Almighty under all conditions
Paragraphs
1) BEFORE HIS MARRIAGE, Maulve Abul Barkat, alias ( s²) Abul, used to live in
comfort, even pomp
( ÐJ!* uLZ ) he wore ( å;) a light brownn ( ~g1Ñ ) turban ( )q)

^ V) . On his head, ( 6,
known as Mashadi lungi, because it originally 6,
gîÝZ came from Mashad in Iran.The gilded)
( ~¯ tip of his cap used to shine brightly ( ¶L[p ) above the turban. He always carried a
walking stick, a sort á ñ¡) with decorative (B‚Æ^z=) bands of brss|
( n) of scepter ( „ ÷ è)
ÅäÎ) . For his hair, he used fragrant ( g ZŠÒp ) oil. Its sweet pungent
( Ð V-éÅ and gilt ( Ð y0*
( !) smell lingered ( Sg#) in the village lanes
( ~VaÃ‹ ) whenever he walked through them.
2) Maulvi Abul had slightly ( }gŠ) bulging eyes ( @Wðƒ~½Q ) . On his fingers he wore
silver rings
( VáùZÅ~0
+e ) with large turquose ( Ybâ ~! ) stones. These rings came off his fingers five
M F,
(ÐK ) in which they were worn.
3) every eid, after his sermon ([) whenever the cotton bag containing from 150 to 200
rupees collected ( ‰K o
p Z ) from the devotees ( ÐVzq]o) happened to fall swith a thud )
Ú Š , he distributed ( ¸ï Š.
( i ZzWÅK $!*
) 40 to 50 rupees in the presence ( ÏŠñ) of the
worshippers ( ~i ú) among the needy ( q]gz¢) and the poorof the village. After each such
act, he used to say: " Please don't pray for me. Remember ( ÅgŠ c*
) the benevolent ( Ýg ) ALLAH
Almighty. If He creates insects ( } hc} Q ) in stones. He supplies ( ì @*
à) their food there
too. Please do not bless (*
*™ ¬Š ) me. What has he not blessed me with? Health, peace of
mind, freedom from care; I have everything *™é Zp ) .
( q) one can desire ( *
4) Like the children who came in quick succession ( F,
Z Â) , the time, too, had changedfast.
A pair of shoes for his first born ( «àZzäƒZa ) , Mehrunnisa, had cost ( 7) him one rupee.
For his youngest daughter ( eKgÐƒ
) , he was now asked to pay six rupees for a pair.
When he complained $D) , the shoe maker ( c ñ) said: " Maulviji, I didn,t charge more for
( Åe
your sake ( Y A) . Had it been someone else ( @* /Z {z´}g v) , I could easily ( Ð ã‚ W ) have
ƒgzZ ðÃ¤
wangled ( @*
™ÝqÐ ÅÑe) ten rupees. The cost of leather ( Zl) has gone sky-high( ÷„ggÃy W )
. Prices have risen so suddenly that it seems as though all the cows and buffaloes in the
country have been dipatched ( ÷ˆ~Š™: Zzg ) to the Mount Caucasus ( s Zz{Ã ) .
5) If it were possible ( **
ƒe) to get the necessities ( Dq ) of life from the heavens ( l²)
through prayers, Maulve Abul would have prayed ( CƒÅ ¬Š ) to ALLAH for a pair ( Zh ) of shoes
+{) . At night he consulted
for his Umda, the youngest in the family ( y Z0 (©
8{gt) his wife ( » ~ç) .
But instead ( ñOÅ ) of replying, she silently lifted a corner of the quilt ( ðŸg ) to expose ä3Š )
( aÆ Umdatunnis's small bare
( ·) feet. Seeing those dainty ( ]gzp ) feet, Maulve Abul burst into tears ( †Ë²W ) like a
child.
6) Next day after his morning prayers,( ˆÆò¯ ú) he went to the shoe maker and paid
him five rupees and twelve annas and bought the shoes. Leaving his shop, he vowed ( ð3n)
as his witness ( { ZÍ ) , never to use the powdered ( g Z²) that he loved.
7) When Mehrun reached the age of 14, Maulve Abul,s prayers became intense q Ë‹”)
( qíz and prolonged ( D) . During Ramadan, he led the nightly taravih prayesr as usual. But
the same Maulve Abul who never had made a single mistake, began straying ( ÜÈ ) from one
,
Surah of The Holy Quran to another. Sometimes, unconsciously( 6 gî~gÅÑ) he repeated the
same chapter twice in the same part of prayer.
8) Once when Chaudhry Fateh Dad, the member of the Distrcit Board, reprimanded Ö 5)
#
( ðƒ him for a mistake, Maulvi Abul felt like shouting back at him. " You have a whole row of
boys,Chaudhry Sahib. Had you also been blessed with a daughter ( Cƒ«eðÃÌ»¤
/Z ) then
you would understand ( ') why I repeated ( **Ù Š ) a chapter of the Holy Book twice!"
ZC
9) But Chaudhry Fateh Dad's censure $Z e ) was purely religious( Iè) . Why, he was the
(.
same rich,pious Muslim, the head of the village,who every evening for years had been
sending ( ;g &) Maulve Saheb homebaked ( ðƒ5 Åy ) bread smeared ( ðƒ~ñ) with ghee
and an earthen bowl ( !\ »è) of dal.
He was very regular in his offering +) . If fir some reason ( zz) the daily offering of the
( : Zg 2
evening meal
3 ) was delayed ( CYƒí@*

( ** ) . Chaudhry Fateh Dad would carry it himself to Maulve Abul's
house and apologise (*
*™]gm) for the delay, saying:
10) Conscious ( ¸!* Û Zizg ) responsibilities ( V-g ZŠ)f ) of her
) of the ever increasing ( Vz‚
husband, Zaibunnisa too had started teaching young girls of the village the Holy Quran.
On Thursday, when each of the girls brought ( ‰CÑ) a small portion ( g Zl) of sugar ( ì) on
bread, Zaibunnisa would arrange for at least two baskets. These small baskets were used to
store morssels ( } • ) of home baked bread.

11) But, there was yet another problem. Besides ( {z´Æ) bread to fill their bellies ( ù) ,they
also neede clothes to cover their bodies. Chaudhry Fateh Dad. used to present ( å@*
™ H7)
new clothes to Maulvi Abul once a year after every harvest ( ðÉÅ`) . Whenever these
clothes came, a tailoring shop would spring up ( CYÁ ) in Maulvi Abul,s house. Zaibunnisa,
with the assistance ( yz¬) of Mehrun and Zabda and Shamsun, would cut them into smaller
outfits ( } hÆVzÀ ) for the younger kids. If he ever received some extra money ( ¶g °ŸZ ) , this
bonus +Zi ) would usually be locked up in a tin box.
(Z
12) Maulvi Abul was caught in the whirl of life /
( ~[ ZŠ¤ +
ÆÏ0i ) Time had not been kind to
him. The hair around his temples /) of his
( V= ) had become silvery white. The grip ( Ä¤
teethon his gums ( ñ hz) had for long been loose. But his voice remained resonant( g ZŠÆZ9 )
. However ( ë @*
) , sometimes that too quivered ( *
@Yƒ~g ¤Zi°) .
13) Chaudhry Fateh Dad was the only one who knew ( å} Y) the reason ( zz) . Maulvi Abul
had once opened his heart to him about a suitable match for Mehrun. The Chaudhry had
carefully considered
( Hg¨) the eligibility ( qZ ) of all the young men of the village.

14) There were some whom he found suitable o) But the trouble was that everyone in
(ƒ
the community ( Â) knew Maulvi Abul well. Chaudhry Fateh Dad tried to negotiate ( * A ]!*
*™’ )
with a couple of elders but all of them drew back Ø ú) as if bees ( VªÅß) had suddenly
(‰ ?
-eZ ) sprung ( ÷ ëGWò ) from a bed of flowers.
(7
15) Ultimately W ) Maulvi Abul,s and Zaibunnisa's prayers bore fruit ( NÑx) . A young
( g »y
man from the village who had gone away., come back and opened a small cloth shop. He
called himself
Shamim Ahmed.
16) He was the only son of Haafiz. After the death of his father, Khudayar, tried( ÅÒÃ ) to
I$GE
,
follow his father's footsteps( 6 xŠ øL © ) . When he was about 16, he went away to the city.,
leaving his old mother behind( ú) . Later they learnt that he ahd worked in the house of a
head clerk, after which he had managed to open a small shop on a footpath (B0*
Å) where he
began selling cut pieces. After saving some money had gaining ( Æ™Ýq ) experience (/Š) in
the business, he returned ( c*
W:Zz) to the village. He then begged ( ÅY iZ ) Maulvi Abul to
inaugurate (*
*™ b ¶Z ) and bless his shop by becoming his first customer ( H Ç ) .
17) That day, in order not to disappoint (* /÷
*™k-â ) his etswhile ( —‚ ) disciple ( Š¤ á ) and his
aged mother, Maulvi Abul took a momentous ( ë Z ) decision (ê) . He went to his wife and
siad: " Shamim Ahmed wants me to inaugurate his shop by becoming his first customer. If
you agree ( ƒèZg ) , let us buy a piece of cloth for Mehrun's suit. In any case we will need it for
her dowry ( 4) . My purchase +y
( ~g Zh ) in the presence ( ÏŠñ) of the entire ( }g ‚ ) village may
impress ( **
ƒW,O) them."
18) As he opened it, her eyes suddenly became bright with unshed tears /
( }¤%) . Just
then Mehrun walked in. Then she turned back with a smile,almost as if she was thinking. I
know the secret ( i Zg ) of Abba's readiness to inaugurate Shmaim Ahmed's shop!

19) Maulvi Abul counted his savings( Â) . There were 43 rupees. He put the money into
his pocket, stood up slowly ( Ð× W ) and said:If somehow Mehrun can be married ,all my
worries ( V *.6,
) will disappear. I will feel as light as a feather, at least for some years to
come."
20) When Maulvi Abul reached Shamim Ahmed's new shop ,he found a crowd ( xW)
assembled
á Ó) were women.
( ¸¦) there to watchthe proceedings ( ðZzgg » ) . Most of the onlookers ( ð÷
They lingered ( ¸}I) to gaze ( aÆÚ Š ) with wistful ( ~½]‹) longing ( N Õ) at the
colourful -g óg ) display ( öú) .

(8
21) Maulvi Abul inaugurated ( H b ¶Z ) the shop by first reciting ( ñƒD™]zˆ) verses ( ]c*
W)
from the Holy Quran in his powerful voice ( Ð i ZzWg ZŠgzi ) . Then he selected ( HÉ) a piece of
pink ( ! † ) cloth with beautiful flowers nestling ( ¢
8~äâW ) amdist ( yxgŠÆ) yellow dots ( y) .
22) Overjoyed ( ¸lp{Š c*
i¹) Shamim Ahmed picked up his yard stick, uttered ( S7,
) " In
the name of ALLAH ( vZp) " silently ( ÐÙñ{ ) , measured ( Åöe) seven yards, picked up the
large pair of scissors
( 8) and cut he cloth. He then folded ( ðÎµ) it neatly and placed it before ( t ‚ ) Maulvi Abul
with respect ( Ðx Z Z ) . He almost seemed to be offering it as a gift.
23) " How much should I pay?" Maulvi Abul asked. Out of respect, Shamim Ahmed
hesitated ?) for a moment, rubbed ( Õä$M) his palms ( V× ) , cleared his throat and replied: "
(ð
At the rate of six rupees per yard, it will be 42 rupees, sir."
24) His words fell like a bombshell ( /) on Maulvi Abul. Suddenly he felt as if bundle ( yå)
after bundle of clothe from the various ( Z ) shelves ( Ð Vâ {) were falling over him.; Out of
rupees 43 a kept a rupee and quickly paid the rest of Shamim Ahmed.
25) A thrill ( «) went through Maulvi Abul's ears. An idea came to him. Instead of listening
to Shamim Ahmed's request on his threshold ( rŠ ) , he turned and shouted: " Arif's mother )
( Vâ Åsg ¬} Z , I am going out. Will be back soon. " And he started walking towards the
mosque ( K ) . Shamim Ahmed followed him silently ( Ð Ùñ{) .
26) Maulvi Abul went into the room. He put a match to dry twig ( 5) and with it lit ( ÅÝzg )
the earthen lamp Š ) The flame flickered ( „g CZêê) for a while, then became steady ( Î) .
( c*
Shamim Ahmed was now looking nervously (B‚Æ? Í ) into the flickering ( ðƒCà) flame.
Ø Z<
27) Shamim felt as ease, but couldn,t overcome ( **1‡) his embarrassment ( ?
0* Ø Z<
Í ) . Then
, finally mustering ( ñƒD™ Š ) courage, he cleared his throat and began in a low voice: " As
a matter of fact, my mother should have done this, but she is not well. That's why I have
come." He stopped.
28) Maulvi Abul sighed ( ~½{ W ) and wiped ( †7) the tears ( ²W ) from his eyes and his face
with the loose end of his turban( ÐHÆ)q) . In a quivering » ) voice, he said: " Oh
( ðƒy
ALLAH daughters are your helpless creatures ( t‘) !" He caught hold of Shamim Ahmed's
hand and added +'
( ¹h × ) ;" They are for marriage; You are my dear disciple ( Š¤
/÷á ) . Brother
Hafiz Abdul Rahim's son is also my son. Come my son, come!" And he embraced ( c*
ÎŒ )
Shamim Ahmed warmly /) .
( ÐÙX¤
29) Maulvi Abul looked first towards his eldest daughter , then towards the row of children
who had appeared ( ¸` V) on the scene. They had all clustered ( ¸‰ƒo
p Z ) around their
sister. They looked disappointed , for he had returned empty handed (B;à {) . They had to be
pleased first. So he declared slowly ; " tonight ( ] Zg ` W ) all my children will get a special treat)
( ÄM. A little raw sugar ( ]) with bread."
30) Shamim is a good boy, sir. Please take a decision ( z™ê) without delay (í@*ÕäE
&L) . Who
knows what may happen." Saying that, he brought out a cotton bag ( O7) from under his shawl
( gŠ e ) and handed it to Maulvi Abul . " This is a humble gift . Please give it to my daughter on
my behalf." ( õJ/GC+G
4E ŠÃe~÷Ð s§~÷) said Chaudhry Fateh Dad.
31) Gratified ( ~qy ˆZ ) and almost dazed ( •‚) , Maulvi Abul went back to his wife. With a
thumping
( Ð wŠ È PŠ ) heart he opened the bag.Tied neatly in a large silken kerchief ( wâ zg ) were a pair
of gold pendants ( Ý ) set with large , shining stones and wrapped ( åZƒ}) in a hundred
rupee note!
32) A few days later, the pre marriage celebrations ( ]â½) began. Mehrunnisa, was put in
seclusion
( ðË) in a separate ( µ Z ) room till the auspicious ( ug I) day. Her hands and feet were
covered with Henna ( ~m) . The gay ( Œ}½Ùp ) songs that usually accompany wedding
ceremonies were not sung for, after all, this was Maulvi Abul Barkat's residence ( y ) . Music
of any kind could not be allowed in his house.So the village girls simply sat in a circle ( {],
ZŠ )
round the shy ( †Ñ ) bride ( ÚŠ ) , and for several nights sang songs of love and friendship,
owers and their fragrance ( í) and the romantic rainy season which has a special
significance ( ÌZ ) for young men and women in rural Punjab.
33) On the other hand, nobody could restrain, ( ´gi !*
) Shamim Ahmed from celebrating his
marriage any way he desired. So he came to marry ( * á ) Mehrun amdist fireworks
*™~Š ÷ >W )
+
( ~i !*with musicians( }0i ‚ ) ) playing gay tunes ( wŠ ~u) . That night, after a lot of whispering
( VâÍu) in one corner of the house, many trunks were dragged ( ‰ h ) out and opened.The
next morning when the dowry ( 4) was exhibited ( ˆÅöú) in the courtyard ( ö) ,the entire
village was stunned (Š
H{gyZª ) by what it saw. People were not impressed ( W,O) much with the
colourful -g óg ) clothes, for this was not unusual. But the jewellery ( ] Zg- i ) ? It was incredible
(8
&‡**
( ¢ ÿLE )
34) In the crowd , there was also a loudmouthed ( y!*+) old hag ( ]gß$
i$ +) who seemed to
have other views. In a loud whisper ( ÙÍu) , the pointed out that several suits in the dowry had
oce belonged to a woman who had died young. There were others ehich had been part of
Ð G-E
#
£
Zaibun's dowry. " Even the bracelets ( ; ) and the gold nose - ring ( ö ) are hers, " she
added with conviction ( ¢) . But the gold pendants ( Ý ) . She raised her eyes and looked
towards the heavens, if they were a gift from there.
35) After the ceremonies ( ]â½) were over, Mehrun was made to sit in a palanquin )
( Ë0*
.Beautifully decorated ( ðƒA) it was covered with a large silken cloth ( Ð} À§g ) so that
the bride ( ÚŠ ) could go to the bridegroom's ( ÆAzŠ ) house in strict purda. s two sturdy ( qà )
villagers carried it away, Maulvi Abul walked a few steps with it. He must have cried silently for
his eyes and nose were red and he looked pale ( Šgi ) . At the same time he looked at peace.
36) -eZ ) appeared behind the door.
As he went back to his house, Zaibnnisa suddenly ( 7
She held his hand and burst into tears ( **

zgg ·zg Zi ) . " Look at this house, she said, sobbing )
( V<. Without Mehrun, doesn't it look like a graveyard( y*G ) ."
37) All these years, Maulvi Abul had two main sources of inspiration ( ;) , in which he had
implicit
( ï» ) faith. The first one was Almighty ALLAH and after Him, Chaudhery Fateh Dad. It was
certainly ( éSE4¨GG
5G $ ) ALLAH's benevolince ( Øg ) that sinners ( g Õ ) like Maulvi Abul and Zaibunnisa
were still alive and that all their children were living and Mehrun had been married with such
splendour ( x JŠxðŠ ) .

Now a little fashion is the need of the present era
Paragraphs
1) One evening in January a well groomed ( l7lp ) young man having walked up Davis
Road to the Mall turned to Charing Cross. His hair was sleek ( ì5zx3,
) and shining and he wore
side burns -g !*
( a) . His thin ( q ) moustache ( †ñ) seemed to have been drawn ( Vƒˆð¯)
with a pencil. He had put on
( åZƒz) a brown overcoat with a cream coloured half opened rose in his button hole and a
green flat
+Z ) . A white silk scarf ( È‰ ) was knotted )

( –) hat which he wore at a rakish ( Jd) angle ( i Z0
( åZƒ¦
8at his neck. One of his hands was slipped into a pocket of his overcoat while in the
other he held a short polished cane ( ~rÅË) which every now and then ( LL ) he twirled )
( @*
ƒ jauntily ( ~™`ñ) .
2) It was a Saturday eveningin mid-winter ( Zh Y) . The sharp ( !) icy ( ã Ã',
) gusts ( Ö) of
wind struck like steel, but the young man seemed to be immune T) to them. So, while
( ƒ: W,Z6,
others were walking briskly × ) along
( Ð~!) to keep warm, he was ambling ( ñƒºÐ}'
obviously ( 6,gîãZz) enjoying his promenade ( ò Zy
{g ZzW ) in the bitter cold ( ~{Š c*
i¹) .
3) He looked such a dandy ( ï !*
) that tonga wallas on catching sight of him,even from a
distance, whipped up ( Dg â †Y) their horses and raced towards him. With a wave of his stick
at him enquiringly ( ÐVzÃDZÎ ) . He too was turned off ( êŠwN*

) . This time with a " No thank
you."
4) As the evening advanced ( ˆf(, +”) . It was a

ÐW ) the cold became more intense ( h
cold that induced ( Hbâ ) people to seek ( *
*™lˆ) comfort in pleasure ( ô¸) . At such times it
was not only the profligate ( O{g ZzW ) who ranged ( ÷R˜Ñ" ) , but even those who were
usually content Ù !*
( t ) to live with their loneliness ( ðË) , emerge ( ñWòC ) , from their hide
outs ( Ð VƒÇ{ C) to join inthe gaiety ( Þzg ) of the streets.And so people converged ( ‰ƒ¦) on
the Mall where they amused themselves among the variety ( Z ) of hotels, restaurants, cafes
( ä{{© ) and snack bars, each according to his means ( b‚z) . Those who could not afford )
) , Z the pleasures inside, were content to gaze at the coloured lights and brilliant ¾)
( ´g®
( “Š advertisements ( g 3Z ) outside.
5) The young man seated ( ´) on the cement bench was watching with interest the
people passing on the pavement ( 3 Zg å) before hi. Most of them were wearing overcoats
which were of every kind from the astrakhan to the rough military khaki such as are found in
large bundles p ) at the second hand clothes'shops.

(t
6) The overcoat the youngman himself was wearing was old, but it was well cutÅkZp )
( ¶hZ ðsðÉ and the material ( Š Zñ) was of good quality ( g £) . The lapels ( °» ) were stiff )
/Z and the sleeves( ¨W ) well creased. The buttons were of horn,big and shiny.
( ¸ñƒ} š
The young man seemed ( åêŠ ð3Š ) to be a very happy in it.
7) By now it was past seven ( ]‚Æ] Zg ) He started off again along the Mall. An orchestra
could be heard playing in one of the restaurants. many people had collected outside. Mostly
they were passers by
× ) and beggars( ¤
({Zg ) , a few drivers of the waiting taxis and tongas, labourers ( gzŠ' /Z¢ ) .
Some fruit venders Û V) having sold their fruit were also standing around with
( á Zz~¢Ôlz
their empty baskets
c ™Ià {) . These people outside seemed to be enjoying the music more than those who sat
( V*
inside, for they were listening in silence Ù !*
( Ùñ{) though the music was foreign ( »oC ).
8) A few minutes later he found himself outside a large Western music shop. Without
hesitation
Ø H ) he went in. There were musical instruments ( ] ÑW ) of different kinds arranged K

(? M F,
)
( ¸ÇgÐ on shelves around the walls. On a long table, attractively ( ~i Z0
+Zæ6,
) displayed )
( ¶ˆÅöú, were the latest hit songs. A Spanish guitar was hanging on the wall. He examined
( 1{ ^
,Y) it with the air ( i Z0
+Z ) of a connoisseur ( ÃïE
L 8™) and studied the price label attached to it.
Then a huge ( ~(,) German Piano diverted ( Hzá) his attention. Lifting the cover of the key
board he played a few notes ( w™ ) and closed it again.
9) He stopped next at a book stall. He picked up one or two magazines and after a
hurried glance
( { ó~uu) at the contents ( ] ** +'

ZÄ) carefully replaced them. A few yards further ( h × ) on, a large
Persian carpet, which was hanging d) outside a shop attracted ( Hzá) his attention. The
( åƒ\
owner ( ´ â ) of the shop, wearing a long robe (— ) and a silk turban , greeted him warmlylp )
( 5™ƒ.
10) At this part of the Mall the crowd ( xW) pedestrians ( á Zz½wa ) had thinned down À)
( åŠ
H and there were quite long stretches ( A Ã) of empty pavement between one group and
another. The young man as he went along tried to spin ( **
ƒ ) his cane ( ~r) around one
finger, but in the attempt ( ÒÃ ) he dropped it.
11) Meanwhile ( y ZgzŠ ÏZ ) a young couple ( Zh ) who had been walking behind him passed
by and went ahead ( ÐW ) of him. The youth was tall and was wearing black croduroy trousers
( )Y0*
) and a leather Zl) jacket with a zip. The girl wore a floppy ( Le ) shalwar of white satin
and a green coat. She was short and bulky ( KñÔ Á½~g ¸) .
12) When the couple had walked some hundred yards ahead of him, he hurriedly ( Ð ~!)
started after them.Hardly ( o ) and he reached half way across the road when a truck full of
bricks ( VAZ ) came from behind like a gust ( !$ ) of wind and crushing ( ™Ã ) him down
speeded off towards Mcleod Road. The driver of the truck had heard a shriek ( m) and had
G G
actually ( éS5š¢ Zz) for a moment slowed down, but realizing ( ñƒD™kC ) the something serious )
HW7) , had taken advantage of the darkness ( ñƒD VQ{Z

( ™ had happened ( ì Š +Ã»}ƒ0
+Z )
and had sped (Š Û ) away into the night. Two or three passers by ( ê Zg ) ) who had
Hƒg Z
witnessed ( ¬Š ) the accident shouted ; " Stop him, take the number," but the truck was no
more to be seen.
13) In a short while a crowd ( xW) had collected. A traffic inspector on his motor bike
stopped. The young man was badly hurt ( Âi ) . There was a lot of blood about and he was in a
very precarious
( u **
÷¡ ) state. A car was stopped and he was loaded into it and taken to a nearby hospital.
When they reached there he was just alive.
14) On the duty that night in the casualty ( ] U*

Š q ) department were assistant sergeon Khan
and two young nurses Shehnaz and Gill. He was still -ÌZ ) wearing his brown overcoat and
(J
the silk scarf. There were large stains ( ÆŠ ) of blood all over his clothes. Someone had, out of
sympathy ( ~Šg^) , placed the young man's green flat hat on his chest ( CY) so that it should
not be lost.
15) In the operatin theatre the assistant sergeon and the two nurses with their faces
concealed ( ¸|) behind masks ( [ Õ) , were attending to the young man, sonly their eyes
were visible ( ‰„g WÃ) . He was lying on a white marble table. His hair was still smoothed )
( ñ¦ against his temples ( V = ) . The strong scented ( g ZŠÒp ) oil with which he had dressed
it earlier that evening still gave out a faint ( Ñ ) odour ( í)
16) Beneath the scarf there was neither a tie nor a color ( °» ) ..... Not even a shirt. when
the overcoat was removed it was found that the young man was wearing underneath ( n)
only an old cotton sweater which was all in holes. Through these holes one could see the dirty
( ~n ) vest ( y ã 4<XG
C) which was in an even worst state than the sweater. Layers ( èG
(
) of dirt least
two months. Only the upper part of his neck /) was clean and well powdered.
( yŠ¤
17) The shoes and the socks ) now came off( I~g @*
( ÁZ` Z ) . The shoes were old but
brightly polished. As to the socks, in colour and pattern ( íZ m,e ) the one was quite different
from the other. There were holes at the heels ( Vc*
l, Í ) showed
Z ) , and where the flesh ( “
through the holes it was grimed ( ZƒN*
Z ) with dirt. He was by now dead and his life less body lay
on the whote marble slab.
18) A small black comb ( É ) , a handkerchief ( wâ zg ) six annas and a few pies ( b ) , a
half smoked cigarette, a little diary in which the names and addresses of a few people were
noted, a list of gramphone records and a few handbills ( g 3Z 4Š ) which distributors ä™„)

We must do good deeds for ourselves
Paragraphs
1) I have a vexing ( Áy.6,
) dream one night, not long ago: it was about a fortnight ( ‹ zŠ )
after Christmas. I dreamt I flew out (Š
Hh Q ) of the window in my nightshirt ( k]»äÎ) . I went up
and up, I was glad that I was going up. " They have been noticing me, " I thought to myself, "
If anything ( x »( ) , I have been a bit too good. A little less virtue ( nÏ~hð) abnd I might have
lived longer. But one cannot have everything." The world grew smaller and smaller. The last I
saw of London was the long line of electric lamps bordering the Embankmen 0kI
( îG $N) .
F
2) I am sure it must be," I returned ( c*
Š[ Z ä~) ; " the wonder ( ãZª ) to me is how you get
through
( **
C) it all. You see at Christmas time," I went on ( ¿g ~g Y] !*
k KZä~) , all we men and women
become generous ( y!* $) , quite suddenly. It is really a delightful ( ]äæF .z)
%N) sensation( ªãZ]
."
3) It is the first Christmas number ( {g Ñ) that starts me off," I told him; " those beautiful
pictures the sweet child looking so pretty ( @) in her furs j ) with her
( gÈ ) , giving Bovril ( É
own dear little hands,to the shivering ( ñƒD 1
/ ) street arab (^g ÇŠæzg c*" ) ; the good old red
faced squire ( [Zâ ) shoveling out
( ñƒï Š™|',
jZ (,
) plum (pß W ) pudding to the crowd of grateful ( yN ) villagers. It makes me
yearn
