The Tiger in the Tunnel 1

Get Set Go
Comprehension
u Answer the following questions :
1. Why did Baldeo have to take up the job of a Khalasi?
Ans. The family's small rice fields did not provide them with more than a bare living,
so Baldeo had to take up the job of Khalasi at the small station in the jungle.
2. Why did Baldeo decide to fight the tiger?
Ans. Baldeo decided to stand and fight the tiger because he realized that trying to
escape in the dark would be useless. The tiger would be more sure-footed than
Baldeo and could spring on him from behind in an instant.
3. Why did the tiger enter the tunnel?
Ans. The tiger was in agony because of its wounded leg and did not notice the faint
rumble in the earth, caused by the moving train. The train entered the tunnel and
the tiger saw it but found himself trapped. Since there was no escape through
the cutting, the tiger entered the tunnel, running as fast as his wounded leg
would carry him.
4. What happened to the tiger?
Ans. The train passed through the tunnel and the tiger was cut into half by the engine.
A major portion of the beast's body got stuck in the train's cow-catcher.
5. Why was there excitement at the station?
Ans. When the engine slowed down at the next station, the driver decided to examine
the head-lamps. His discovery of the dead tiger's body lying above the cow-
catcher created considerable excitement at the station.
6. What was happening at the cutting?
Ans. While there was an air of excitement at the next station, back at the cutting there
was no sound except for the sobs of the boy sitting beside the body of his father.
7. Why did Tembu sit by his father's body?
Ans. Tembu sat there for a long time, unafraid of the darkness, guarding his father's
body from jackals and hyenas until the relief-watchman arrived at the first light
of dawn.
8. Why did Tembu take up his father's job soon after his death?
Ans. His father's death plunged Tembu, his sister and mother in grief for two whole
days. Tembu took up his father's job soon after his death because life had to go
on and he was now the only earning member of the family. The responsibility of
providing for the family now fell on Tembu.

u Long answer type question :
‘The Tiger in the Tunnel’ is a story of extraordinary courage of an ordinary
watchman while performing his duty. Justify this statement by narrating
incidents from the story.
Ans. Baldeo was a watchman. His duty was to signal the trains, entering the tunnel
through the cutting, whether the passage was clear or not. His home was three
miles away from the station. He had a wife and two children. Their small rice
fields could not provide them much and Baldeo considered himself to be lucky
to have landed in the job as a watchman on the station.
Baldeo, being a tribal, moved confidently through the jungle. He always carried

an axe with him. He had mastered it. He could also use it to hunt. The axe-head
was of pure steel and it was like another organ of Baldeo's body. He carried it
with himself all the time. He had no intention of parting away with it.
Baldeo was out to perform his duty. As he was approaching the cutting, he saw
that the signal light was out. He had to light it up again. After lighting it and
setting it up, he came to the entrance and waited for the train to come.
Back in the hunt, Tembu was woken up by the trembling of the sound,
signalling the approaching train. Baldeo was also snapped out of his dizziness as
he heard a tiger. He could not run away from it. The ferocious beast was ready
to attack him. He was also prepared with his axe. The tiger pounced but Baldeo
hit him with his axe. Then another attack and this time Baldeo had a true aim.
Unfortunately, to his terror, the axe was stuck in the tiger's bones. Baldeo was
defenseless without a weapon and the tiger killed him. Baldeo had wounded the
tiger gravely. He could not walk properly and sat nursing its wounds. The train
was approaching. Now, the tiger was trapped like Baldeo. It could not run away
and the train mauled him. The driver found about it only at the next station.

No Men are Foreign 2
Get Set Go
Comprehension
1. Why do we consider one country as ours and the rest as foreign?
Ans. Human race is still under a great but slow evolution. Because it is still under
progress and development, most countries encourage a negative patriotism and
nationalist feeling. Under such a situation, every child is taught to love his nation
more than others and consider the other nations as enemies at a time of war.
2. What does the poet mean by the word “uniform”?
Ans. Word “uniform” signifies the armies of the several countries who are constantly at
war in the name of nationhood, religion and castes.
3. What is the poet trying to remind us?
Ans. The poet is trying to correct our extreme and uncivilized nationalism and brewing
differences. We inhabit the same planet, drink the same water and breathe the same
air but we feel different and behave like enemies at times. The poet wants us to
eliminate our patriotism for a limited area called a nation or state.
4. How does air remind us of our sharing the earth?
Ans. While land remains divided, the air we breathe remains undivided. Air doesn't
belong to any country or territory. Air moves from one country to another and is
breathed by all men and women.
5. What you mean by the innocence of the air?
Ans. Air is essentially clean so is it innocent. Because we raise dust and emit smoke, the
air appears to be calamitous and dark. Air doesn't mean to bring destruction but
human activities pollute the air and make it poisonous.
6. What is meant by “our hells of fire and dust”? What does this hell outrage?
Ans. The Hells of fire and dust are the fire and dust caused by wars between countries.
Fire and dust outrage the innocence of air

That all can recognise and understand.
(i) What is common between the eyes of two nationals?
Ans. The common between the eyes of two nationals is the fact that they sleep and
wake just like others do and follow the same pattern in life.

(ii) How can one win over the strength of the stronger people?
Ans. One can win over the strength of the stronger people by following the path of
love. Only when we love someone can we stand up for them. That is why it is
absolutely necessary for every man the love his fellow beings.
2. Let us remember, whenever we are told
To hate our brothers, it is ourselves
That we shall dispossess, betray, condemn.
Remember, we who take arms against each other.
(i) Who tells us to hate our brothers?
Ans. War tells us to hate our brothers.
(ii) How do we dispossess, betray and condemn ourselves by hating our
brothers?
Ans. By hating our brothers and taking up arms against them, we dispossess,
ourselves as we rob ourselves of their love. When we hate them, they too react
destructively and stop loving us. We deceive ourselves as our hatred leads to
wars, and wars cause widespread death and devastation. This leads to the
piling up of waste that pollutes our mother land earth. The dust and war-smoke
obstruct the air that we breathe.

4. Why was there always winter in the Giant's garden?
Ans. In the giant's garden it was always winter. There were no summers or spring. Not

visited the garden. Only the snow, hail, frost and the north wind were seen dancing
around in the garden.

Ans. One morning the giant awoke from bed and heard some lovely music. It was so
enchanting and pleasant that he thought it was the king's musicians passing by. It
was a linnet who was singing so beautifully. It had been so long since the giant had
heard a bird sing in his garden. To the giant it seemed to be the most beautiful song

family about a plan, her mother was aghast and said, "My dear girl, you can't possibly

mouse. It is against our tradition." Since both of them did not want to disappoint their

u Sarojini Naidu's 'Bangle Sellers' is rooted in Indian culture and tradition.' Explain it in a
short paragraph not more than 80 words.
Ans. As Sarojini Naidu has depicted it, bangles are directly connected to the happiness and
well-being of a family in the traditional Indian society. People buy bangles for their
daughters and wives, on occasions like fairs to make them look good and make them
happy. Women also find joy in wearing bangles. Naidu has presented how various
colours of bangles match the emotions and aspirations of a woman in various stages of

her marriage ceremony or a middle aged woman who has journeyed through life. To
express the happiness connected with bangles, Naidu calls them “lustrous tokens of
radiant lives.” Bangles also play an important part in keeping the cultural traditional of

A Devoted Son 6
Get Set Go
Comprehension
1. What was the cause of great celebration in Rakesh's family?
Ans. When the results appeared in the morning papers, Rakesh scanned them barefoot
and in his pajamas, at the garden gate, then went up the steps to the verandah where
his father sat sipping his morning tea and bowed down to touch his feet. “A first
division, son?” his father asked, beaming, reaching for the papers. “At the top of the
list, papa,” Rakesh murmured, as if awed. “First in the country.” Bedlam broke
loose then. The family whooped and danced.
2. How did neighbours respond to Rakesh's achievement?
Ans. The whole day long visitors streamed into the small yellow house at the end of the
road to congratulate the parents of this Wunderkind, to slap Rakesh on the back and
fill the house and garden with the sounds and colors of a festival. There were
garlands and halwa, party clothes and gifts (enough fountain pens to last years,
even a watch or two), nerves and temper and joy, all in a multicolored whirl of pride
and great shining vistas newly opened: Rakesh was the first son in the family to
receive an education, so much had been sacrificed in order to send him to school
and then medical college, and at last the fruits of their sacrifice had arrived, golden
and glorious.
3. What sort of a woman was Rakesh's wife?
Ans. Rakesh's wife was a self possessed, selfish woman from a countryside. She had no
love for anyone – not to mention her father-in-law. She was tactful so quite tactfully
she kept herself out of Varmaji's way. She would smirk sliding merrily through the
air as if it showVarmaji that she didn't care.
4. What for did Varmaji bribe his grandchildren?
Ans. Varmaji was fond of sweets like halva but Rakesh had imposed strict ban on serving
sweets. Driven by his love for sweets, Varmaji bribed his grandchildren into buying
him sweets. Although Rakesh's children were unwilling to accept the bribe money,
they had to obey their grandfather. The deal was to buy him thirty paise worth of
jalebis, and the buyer could spend the remaining twenty paise on himself.
5. What turned out of Varmaji's attempts to bribe?
Ans. Varmaji's attempts to buy sweets through his grandson were twice successful but
the child was caught by his parents. Rakesh scolded his son for disobeying his
orders and accepting his grandfather's offer. Rakesh found this act of his father
extremely disturbing. He blamed the old man for making a liar out of his son. He
said that his father was spoiling his children besides spoiling his stomach.
6. Why was Rakesh uncontrollably furious over the bribe incident?
Ans. Rakesh had always been a devoted son in his way so he was particular that his
children grew up with devotion to their parents. Having caught his son for doing a
secret job for his father, Rakesh could not contain his anger to see the way his father
made a liar out of his son. Apart from this, Rakesh was very particular that he never
bought unhygienic food from shops. His son had bought the jalebis in shabby
newspapers and this reminded him of epidemics that killed many during those
days.
1. Why was Mr Varma jealous of his neighbour, old Bhatia?
Ans. Old Bhatia, Varmaji's neighbour, was luckier than him in several aspects. He was
still very active and lively. He didn't need his children's support to bathe and was in
all position to have a bath outside the tiled bathroom indoors. Like he always did,
old Bhatia carried his brass mug and towel, in all seasons and usually at impossible
hours, into the yard and bathed noisily under the garden tap. He had a way with his
style and there was no one to give him directions. Unfortunately, Varmaji had been
denied all these rights and freedom. He felt jealous of Mr. Bhatia, especially when
he saw the other man looked over the hedge to see if Varma were out on his
verandah and call to him and talk while he wrapped his dhoti about him and dried
the sparse hair on his head. Even the sight of Mr. Bhatia shivering with enjoyable
exaggeration hurt Mr. Varma and it reminded him of his lost freedom.
2. How did Rakesh change his father's diet?
Ans. Seeing his father's health declining, Rakesh took certain strict steps to cut down his
father's diet. At first he stopped all provisions of Halva to the old man and it was
only the first item to be crossed off the old man's diet. The meals that arrived for him
on the shining stainless steel tray twice a day were frugal to say the least-dry bread,
boiled lentils, boiled vegetables and, if there were a bit of chicken or fish, that was
boiled too. If he called for another helping – in a cracked voice that quavered
theatrically – Rakesh himself would come to the door, gaze at him sadly and shake
his head and inform his father that it was his duty to be careful about what he ate and
how he ate as his health was at risk.

3. Discuss the change of family relations in the long run.
Ans. Family relationships change as time passes when the roles and responsibilities for
an individual are reversed.The story “ADevoted Son” byAnita Desai demonstrates
a relationship between father and son change from one of utmost admiration,
devotion and respect to one of resentment and hostility. The son in the story,
Rakesh, makes his parents extremely proud by becoming a brilliant doctor,
venturing from his run down colony in India to the United States, and receiving
distinguished accolades while working in the most prestigious of hospitals.
Returning home to live with his parents however, to marry the girl they selected for
him and to take care of them, made them more proud than any other feat. Not letting
his success affect the morals his parents instilled in him, Rakesh was a great son and
always put his parents first. With his success came fortune and fame and as an
intensely devoted son he became the most devoted doctor. The change of authority
figure from parent to child can have a negative effect on their relationship. The
family dynamic changed by Rakesh being not only his parents` son but doctor as
well.
4. Bring out the sarcastic elements in the story.
Ans. As any doctor would have suggested, Rakesh too clung on to a safe diet and
lifestyle for his father. He banned most foods his father liked because they were
unhealthy. He strung him up with medications that the old man did not want; he
refused to let his father die, even though this was finally the only thing the old man
wanted. At last, the old man refusesd to take any more medicine. He lay down and
demanded that his son let him go to God.
5. Do you like Varmaji's outlook as a father?
Ans. Do yourself.

1. Was Rakesh being hypocrite about touching his father's feet?
Ans. Whether Rakesh was aware of it or not, he was a hypocrite. He knew how to please
his father and mother and probably everyone in the world around him for his own
benefit. More than fame and money, he held his ideal-son status super high. His
back bones were always ready to bend to please his parents and get their blessings.
If he were a really devoted son, the first rank holder had to know that an ageing
father's first need is freedom to breathe, eat and drink. Unfortunately, Rakesh didn't
know that.
2. Was Rakesh really a successful son?
Ans. Rakesh was more unsuccessful than successful. All that he achieved in life was
good marks, reputation and money on one hand and his father's appreciation on the
other. As a duty-bound son, Rakesh was an excellent son to his father and mother.
He left prime place for his parents first and never failed to show them respect. If
touching a father's feet day in and day out while treating them like patients in their
old age and breaking their heart could be called devotion, Rakesh was a devoted
son. But the flat reality is that Rakesh ceased to be a devoted son somewhere in the

long run. We do not know if Rakesh's devotion from the beginning was customary.
All his actions was based on traditions. He had been taught by his uneducated
parents and society that touching one's father's feet was respect and Rakesh took
that to his heart and never thought otherwise.

How does the poet speak to the wind – in anger or with humour? You must also
have seen or heard of the wind “crumbling lives”. What is your response to
this? Is it like the poet's?
Ans. The poet speaks to the wind with anger. Yes, strong winds are known to cause
plenty of damage and destruction to both life and property.
Storms, cyclones, gales and strong winds cause havoc on land. They uproot trees,
bring down houses, tear down electric posts and claim lives. They also cause
damage to boats and frighten the poor sailors and fishermen out at sea. Yet, I do not
agree with the poet that the wind only 'crumbles lives'. The wind is responsible for
bringing rain; it cools the land and makes the climate pleasant.
Today, wind energy is harnessed for several useful purposes including turning
windmills, wind turbines and generating electricity.

The Pedestrian 11
Get Set Go
Comprehension
1. What social trends does Bradbury observe and see as potential problems for
society?
Ans. Ray Bradbury observes a number of potential problems with the social trends of his
time and the fate of the future. He warns his reader about the possibility of losing
our humanity in the face of advancements. Leonard Mead walks every night
simply because he can, but no one else in the city leaves their home once they have
come home from work. Presumably humanity simply goes from home to car to
work and back again, never experiencing the outdoors. There is no evidence that
humanity has done anything other disconnected from the earth : “in ten years of
walking by night or day, for thousands of miles, he had never met another person
walking, not one in all that time.” Leonard Mead knows why people have vacated
the streets- their TV's have replaced reality and society no longer requires direct
contact. Even the laughter is limited and there are no voices heard in the house
despite being surrounded by family: “Was that a murmur of laughter from within a
moon-white house? He hesitated, but went on when nothing more happened.”
Human contact is at a minimum and TV has stripped society of sincere
communication, knowledge, and earthly experiences. It may be dramatic, but these
trends are present whenever there is a new piece of technology which makes life
supposedly easier and more entertaining. As humans we must ensure that the
advances that we are capable of do not strip us of our humanity- our capacity for
communication, both verbal and written.
2. Why is Mead arrested?
Ans. Mr. Mead is not arrested by a policeman but by a car that functions like a robot. It
does not have robots driving it, but the car itself is the robot. Mr. Mead, technically
speaking, is not being arrested but being taken into protective custody on the
grounds that he is a danger to himself. There must be something wrong with him if
he goes out walking in the dark. Maybe he is a victim of Alzheimer's disease!
Maybe he is lost. That apparently is why the robot-car tells him to get in the car.
3. What is his punishment going to be? Why?
Ans. To the police and the world of 2053, Mr. Mead's activity is so odd that he must be
certifiably insane. The police car assumes he is a danger to himself and the general
public; therefore, the police car arrests Mr. Mead and plans to take him to a
psychiatric facility.
u Match the questions with the answers :
What is Mead's profession? No where, he was just walking.
Who does Mead ask, "What's up on The person doesn't think that being a

On Killing a Tree 12
Get Set Go
Comprehension
1. In the phrase 'consuming the earth', who consumes the earth and how?
Ans. It is the tree that consumes the earth by drawing its nourishment from the soil
through its root. The diet required by the tree lies deep inside the earth and the root
sucks and absorbs nutrients and nourishes the tree.
2. What is meant by 'years of sunlight, air and water'?
Ans. Years of sunlight, air and water means that the tree takes years together to grow up
fully. In this course of time, it draws energy from sunlight, air and water.
3. Why has the tree's 'hide' been called leprous?
Ans. The bark of the tree is uneven in texture and colour. Leprosy also robs the skin of
the leper of its colour and evenness. Hence, the poet has drawn a metaphorical
comparison between the discoloured bark of a tree and the diseased skin.
4. What is the role of hacking and chopping in killing a tree?
Ans. Hacking and chopping wound the body of a tree causing it great pain. They peel the
bark of the tree and it appears to be bleeding when the sap oozes out. However, this
pain or bleeding does not manage to kill the tree.
5. What will rise from 'close to the ground'? Why?
Ans. Curled green twigs and miniature boughs will rise from the stump of the tree that is
close to the ground. They will rise because the tree rejuvenates and revives itself as
long as its root is intact.
6. What will happen if the miniature boughs are left 'unchecked'?
Ans. 'Unchecked' here means left free to grow without any harm or danger. If left
'unchecked', the new, green, delicate branches from the stump of a tree will expand
and regain their original size.
7. What is the meaning of ‘anchoring earth’and ‘earth cave’?
Ans. “Anchoring earth” means the earth which gives a firm grip to the tree and keeps it
from falling. Just as a ship anchored in the sea stays in its place securely and
steadily, similarly the tree stands secure and stable with the support of the earth.
“Earth cave” refers to the depth under the earth where the root of a tree remains
sheltered safely for years. It is firmly attached to this point and a cave-like hollow is
created when the root is pulled out.
8. How is the root of the tree to be pulled out? What is the result of this pulling?
Ans. The root of the tree is to be tied to a rope and pulled out with a great force. This
pulling results in creating a cave-like hollow in the earth and exposes the root to the
vagaries of weather that eventually cause the death of the tree.
9. What is 'the most sensitive' part of the tree? What is it sensitive to and why?
Ans. The root of the tree is its most sensitive part. It is sensitive to the heat and vagaries
of weather on the open surface of the earth. It is so because it remains hidden safely
under the earth.
10. How is the exposed root affected by the sun and air?
Ans. Sun and air start drawing life out of the exposed root. It becomes discoloured, dry
and hard. It starts withering and becomes gnarled and twisted. Devoid of all its
moisture, it gradually becomes lifeless and the process of killing the tree is
completed.
1. So hack and chop
But this alone won't do it.
Not so much pain will do it.
The bleeding bark will heal
And from close to the ground
Will rise curled green twigs,
Miniature boughs
Which if unchecked will expand again
To former size.
(i) How should we kill a tree?
Ans. We should kill a tree by hacking and chopping it.
(ii) What will happen to its bleeding skin?
Ans. It's bleeding skin will heal very soon.
(iii) What rises from close to the ground?
Ans. Small green twigs rise from close to the ground.
(iv) What is the meaning of 'miniature boughs'?
Ans. 'Miniature boughs' means small branches.
2. Out from the earth-cave,
And the strength of the tree exposed
The source, white and wet,
The most sensitive, hidden
For years inside the earth.
(i) What is taken out of the earth's cave?
Ans. The root of a tree is taken out of the cave.
(ii) What is the source of the strength of a tree?
Ans. Root is the source of the strength of a tree.
(iii) Where does the root remain hidden for years?
Ans. The root remains hidden for years under the earth.
(iv) How is the strength of the tree exposed?
Ans. The strength of a tree is exposed by pulling out its root.
1. How does a tree grow up?
Ans. A tree takes years together to grow to its full size. After sprouting out from the
surface of the earth from a seed it grows gradually. Its root nurtures it by drawing
nutrients from deep under the earth. Sunlight, air and water further nourish it. Out
of its bark, tender green branches shoot out and leaves grow all over them. After a
long span of time, the tree stands so strong and sturdy that it can survive even the
wounds inflicted with a knife. In fact, chopping and hacking are not sufficient to
kill it as the wounds get healed. Branches appear again even from the stump and in
due course attain their original size. As long as the root of the tree remains intact
under the earth, the tree keeps growing.
2. What relationship does the tree have with the earth?
Ans. A tree has a deep relationship with the earth. It owes its very existence to the earth.
The seed germinates in the womb of the earth and the baby plant sprouts out over

the surface of the earth. The tree draws nutrients for it from the soil. It is the earth
that gives it support to stand erect and protects it from falling. Giving a firm grip to
its roots, the earth gives it ground to grow and assume a massive size. The earth
keeps roots of the tree concealed, protecting it from exposure to the sunlight and
the air which can prove to be very injurious for its existence. Thus, the earth helps a
tree right from its birth to its survival. Even a chopped tree grows again out of the
stump and gains the original, big size because the earth supports it.

Trees are our lifeline. So they must not be killed. Write your suggestions on
how trees can be protected.
Ans. Trees have great importance in our life. They teach us that life is made for others.
They bear fruits for others and provide shelter to them. All creatures are equal in
their eyes. Besides, trees take several years to become fully grown up. When they
are full-grown, they enhance the beauty of nature. But we are recklessly cutting
down trees for our selfish needs. We have to check this useless cutting of trees. We
have to make strict rules and protect them. The government should also come
forward in this regard. The forest should be declared protected areas and people
must be encouraged to plant more trees. They should be made aware of how trees
are valuable for human beings. On the other hand, we should organize ourselves in
some groups or associations and prohibit people from cutting down trees.
Moreover, everybody should develop a love for trees.
