 Unit 3 Poem

*On Killing a Tree

Gieve Patel

Warm up

1. What is a tree?

2. Why trees are important for our survival?

3. How long does it take a tree to grow to

its full size?

4. How much time does it take to cut down

a tree?

Now read the poem which speaks about the pain of trees.

It takes much time to kill a tree,

Not a simple jab of the knife
Will do it. It has grown
Slowly consuming the earth,
Rising out of it, feeding
Upon its crust, absorbing
Years of sunlight, air, water,
And out of its leprous hide
Sprouting leaves.

English Page 74

9th English Unit 3 Poem Pages 074-081.indd 74 29-01-2019 14:42:21

 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.

No,
The root is to be pulled out –
One of the anchoring earth;
It is to be roped, tied,
And pulled out – snapped out
Or pulled out entirely,
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.

Then the matter

Of scorching and choking
In sun and air,
Browning, hardening,
Twisting, withering,
And then it is done.

Go out on a limb
Remember your place among all living beings
Embrace with joy the changing seasons

The Wisdom to let go of leaves in the Fall
The Rest and Quiet Renewal of Winter
Feel the wind and the sun
And delight in their presence
Look up at the moon that shines down upon you
And the mystery of the stars at night.
Seek nourishment from the good things in life

Be content with your natural beauty
Drink plenty of water
Let your limbs sway and dance in the breezes

It was sheer chance that I was
away that night. I had gone to Pauri to
buy my school books. I stayed the night
at my uncle’s house. We felt the tremors.
We ran out into the open. Again and
9th English Unit 3 Supplementary Pages 082-087.indd 83
again the tremors came. We spent the
entire night outside. Pauri lived through
the night. Molthi did not.
For the living, the nightmare began
at daybreak when the news trickled in of
the large-scale devastation. There were
dozens of landslides. Huge boulders

were all that remained. Our house was a
two-storeyed stone building with a slate
roof. My great grandfather had built the
house. We were a small family. My father
had died after an illness, just fourteen
months ago. My mother took care of
us. We were three children. I was the
oldest. My brother Nilu was ten. Bhuli,
my two-year-old sister, was the baby of
the family. My grandmother lived with us.
When the soldiers began to clear
the debris, my uncle led me away. I
was in a complete daze, too numb to
feel anything. The soldiers had set up a
makeshift camp. Someone gave me tea
and biscuits. I don’t know how long I
was there. Suddenly it was evening and
uncle was standing beside me. “They

he said gently. “Come, you must perform
the last rites before sunset. Tomorrow,
we will go back to Pauri.”
I had last seen my family while
leaving for Pauri. They stood at the
doorway and waved. Ma, Grandma, Nilu

But I was beyond reasoning. I ran
back to the village, to the spot where my
house had stood.
There was still so much debris. I

days. His uniform was covered with dust,
his face was grimy. But through all the
dust and grime, I saw that his eyes were

“My men have been on their feet

himself. “They have done all they could

with spades and crowbars. Without a

debris. They laboured doggedly. When it
was completely dark, someone brought a

a soldier called out, “Sir!”
He stood in the middle of a small
hollow. The wall had caved in at that spot.
I recognized a part of a door. Beneath it,
a small foot.
Feverishly the soldiers began to
clear the hollow. Then, they lifted the
door.

Seventeen Oranges
Warm up
Share with your classmates.
Imagine you are caught while sneakily eating something
without your parent’s permission.
 What would be your reaction at that moment?
 How would you manage that situation?
In the story "Seventeen Oranges"
let us see if the narrator is able to
cleverly manage a tricky situation
or not.
Oranges! I was fond of them. I used
to eat them all day and every day. But
one day a police man found seventeen
oranges hidden away in my pockets. He
locked me up and I have never eaten an
orange again.
I want to tell you the story.
I was driving a little pony-and-cart
for the Swift Delivery Company, and I
often went in and out of the docks.
 Where did the narrator work?
 What was the narrator’s job in the
docks?
I was not really a thief. But I usually
left the docks with something under my
apron. I had made the apron myself and
it was a big one.
When there was a banana boat in
the docks, I drove my little cart beside it.

Prose
Bill Naughton
Sometimes bunches of bananas fell to the
ground. Often my friends kicked a bunch
to me from the boat. I always picked up
the bananas quickly and hid them under
my apron.
Then I spent the rest of the day
eating bananas. I liked bananas, but I
like oranges best of all.
I only took things when I found
them. But some people planned a theft
very carefully. Clem Jones was a careful
planner. Let me tell you about Clem.
One day Clem was coming out of
the docks. He was carrying a box. ‘What
have you got in here?’ asked Pongo the
policeman.
‘A cat,’ replied Clem. ‘Please don’t
make me open the box. The cat will
run away.’
‘A cat?’ Pongo said. I don’t believe
you. Open the box.’
‘But the cat will run away,’ Clem said again.

 ‘You have to swallow the pips too,’
said the voice in my head ‘You have to
swallow the pips and the peel. You have
to swallow all the evidence.’
‘Yes, of course,’ I said.
I swallowed the pips and put some
of the peel in my mouth.
‘Don’t eat it!’ said the voice. ‘There
isn’t time. Swallow it! Be quick! Swallow
it!’
I took a small knife from my pocket
and cut the oranges into large chunks.
I swallowed the pieces of oranges one
after the other.
There were still three oranges on
the table when I heard Pongo outside. I
stopped. My stomach was nearly full.
‘Be quick! Swallow them!’ said the
voice in my head.
I was lucky. Pongo and the other
policeman had seen some carts at the
