In a poor zoo of Pakistan, a lion was very sad as he was given only one kg of meat a day. The lion
thought he was the luckiest lion on earth when one-day the manager of the Dubai Zoo
visited the zoo, where the lion was and requested the zoo management to shift the lion
to the Dubai Zoo. The lion was very happy and started x thinking of having an air-conditioned
cage and a goat to eat every day.
On its first day after arrival, the lion was offered a big bag, sealed very nicely, for
breakfast. The lion opened it quickly but was shocked to see that the bag contained a few
bananas only. The lion thought that since he had recently come from Pakistan, maybe the zoo
management was worried about upsetting his x stomach so they had given him x bananas.
The next day the same thing happened. On the third day again when the same food bag of
bananas was given to him. The lion stopped the delivery boy and shouted at him, "Don't you know
I am a lion, the king of the jungle? What's wrong with the management of this zoo?
What x nonsense is this? Why are you delivering bananas to me?"
The delivery boy politely said, "Sir, I know you are the king of the jungle. But... you have been
brought here on x monkey's visa!!!" The moral of the story is, better to be a lion in your
own x Country than a monkey elsewhere.
Worksheet
A Visit to a historical place gives us information about the people of past and their ways of life.
In the last summer vacation, a few of my friends decided to go to Moen-jo-Daro, a place of
great historical interest.
We left Karachi for Larkana by train. On reaching there, we stayed in a hotel. Next morning, we
reached Mohenjo-Daro by bus. It is at a distance of 27 kilometers from Larkana on the right
bank of the river Indus. Mohen-jo-Daro means Mound of the dead. Its ruins are about 4500
years old. It was first discovered in 1922, when some villagers found pieces of old pots and
bricks at the place. These pieces were brought to Sir John Marshall. He was an English civil
servant. Whose job was to look after the historical remains. He ordered the men for digging the
place. In this way, this old city was discovered. When we saw this dead civilization, we got an
idea that the city was once well built, clean and the center of civilization. The people of Mohen-
jo-Daro were great traders, farmers and craftsmen. The trade was carried on through river
Indus which was very near and the sea within easy reach. The countryside must have been
fertile since wheat, rice and cotton grew there. The farmers also kept cattle. There were skilled
craftsmen who worked in gold, silver and ivory. Clay dolls and carts were made for children to
play with. We also have an idea of the dresses worn by the ruling class, the priests and the
elders, from the seals of many kinds that have been found there. They wore long, loose
dresses.
Near the site of the ruins of Mohen-jo-Daro is a museum. We also visited the museum, where
interesting objects, found from the ruins, are on exhibition. These objects include seals,
jewellery, toys, weapons and painted pottery. The best find of Mohen-jo-Daro is the head of a
bull, which was used as a seal. A metal statue of a dancing girl has also been found. The
people of Mohen-jo-Daro were quite rich and lived a happy life. We do not know what
happened to them later. Either they were raided from the north or some great earthquake
destroyed them. No one has yet been able to determine the meaning of the words written on
the seals and on the pottery. Much could be learnt if the language experts are able to decipher
these words.
Hundreds of visitors, not only from Pakistan but also from all over the world, come to see this
dead civilization. In the evening we took last round of the site and returned to Larkana. This trip
was very interesting and very informative to us.t was the memorable day of my life. I never
forget this journey and the charm of the place
MY FAVOURITE PERSONALITY
Every nation has some great personalities. These great persons are respected, loved and always
remembered by the nation. They earn this honor by virtue of their great deeds and services to their
nation. Such persons are called National Heroes or great leaders.
Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah is my favorite national hero. He is the founder of our beloved
homeland. In appreciation of his services to the Muslims of South Asia, we call him Quaid-e-Azam,
which means “The Great Leader”. He was born at Karachi on 25th December, 1876. He completed
his early education in Karachi and then he was sent to England for higher studies. He obtained
Barrister’s Degree from England and returned to India. He started his career as a lawyer first in
Karachi, and then in Bombay. He also started taking part in the national politics. He had first joined
the All India National Congress and worked for the unity of the Muslims and the Hindus. But he
found out very soon that the Hindu leaders were not in favor of giving equal rights to the Muslims.
They wanted to establish Hindu-Raj in India. So, the Quaid-e-Azam left the congress and joined
the Muslim League. He loved the helpless Muslims living in India under the British and the Hindu
domination. He wanted to liberate the Muslims. So, he began to encourage, organize and unite
them under the banner of Muslim League. The Muslim League started the untiring struggle for
freedom under the wise leadership of the Quaid-e-Azam. By virtue of the wisdom, will power,
courage and long struggle of the Quaid-e-Azam, we achieved Pakistan on 14th August 1947. The
entire nation is grateful to it’s beloved National hero Quaid-e-Azam. Though he is no longer with
us, he has left for our guidance his three watchwords “Faith, Unity and Discipline”.Moreover, his
speeches are there to guide us. In his speeches, he advised us that Pakistan can only prosper
and grow stronger if the people serve it with honest and selfless devotion. He told his people that
what they needed most was a good education. If we follow the directions given in his speeches,
our beloved country would become, Insha-Allah, not only great and strong but a fortress of Islam.
villages, there are many cities as well in the country. Life in these big cities is quite different from
life in a village. In big cities, there are more educational facilities. The big colleges even
universities are available. There are also very large number of schools both government and
private in the big cities. These facilities do not exist in small towns and villages.
Cities also provide sufficient medical facilities. Almost in every city, there are good hospitals in
which the poor get free medicines and treatment. Many qualified doctors are also there to serve
the sick and the suffering. Indeed lack of such medical facilities is the main drawback of villages.
Cities also provide many opportunities for amusement and recreation. In every city, there are
number of restaurants and hotels. There are also many parks and gardens where we can enjoy
the best natural beauty. Villages are always lacking such facilities.
The most important advantage of cities are the availability of huge employment opportunity. They
are centers of trade and commerce. Persons with different qualifications can easily find jobs to suit
them. In villages, employment is available mostly in farming. Due to farming, only seasonal jobs
are available to a large population in villages.
It is fact, villages are always natural due to be their self-creation by nature. On the other hand,
most cities are manmade. Hence the natural environment of villages is their main attraction. In
villages only we may have the charm of birds and flowers or the beauty of the day-dawn.
City life is extremely unhealthy due to air pollution, water pollution, and noise pollution. The people
are not getting fresh air to breathe or the clear sky to enjoy the sunshine. Also, food in the cities is
dirty and unhealthy. The villages are very much away from such drawbacks.
In the city, life is very costly. People have to live with a lot of pomp and show. A simple life like in
the villages is almost impossible in the city. Besides, the cities are over-crowded and it is very hard
for people to get suitable accommodation. People in the city do not have much sympathy with
others even with neighbors. The sympathy and close interdependence that is marked in the
village’s life is entirely lacking in the city.
Thus, life in villages and cities presents two contrasting pictures. There are positive as well as
Negative aspects of both. Therefore it is up to the individual to make the most of it irrespective of
the rural or urban setting that one lives in. I, myself, like to live in a village in the close vicinity of a
modern city so that, I can enjoy the pleasures, both of the city and the village.

17th of May, 2023.
Dear __________,
Assalam-o-alaikum, by the grace of Almighty Allah I’m fine here and hope you also be fine. I
have just received a letter from your Principal that you are not paying attention to your
studies. In order to prove this, he has also sent me the marks sheet of your half yearly
examination. I’m sorry to note that you showed a very poor result. You have scored very low
marks in every subject.
My dear, this is the golden period of one’s life when one can build strong foundation for a
right career. If you miss period you are bound to repent throughout your whole life. I,
therefore, advise you to focus your attention on studies. Don’t waste your time. Give up all
such company of friends as it is harmful to your character and studies. Moreover, for getting
admission in a good college, you will have to secure good marks. So, invest your hard and
earnest labor in your studies. It will pay you later in life.
I hope you will act upon my advice. Hoping for better results from you next time. Wish you
best of luck!
Allah Hafiz.
Yours sincerely,

help in community welfare program.
Dear friend,
I am well by the Grace of Almighty Allah and hope for the same. First of all I regret you for

welfare association and spend my most of the evening time working for the same
organization after getting free from my studies.
This organization has a special program of spreading literacy throughout the nation.
Participation of young generation is especially welcomed, as they can be extremely helpful
in this regard. I also offer you membership of the same for which you need not give any
financial help but you can discharge by provoking learning hunger in some illiterate.
Please have a kind consideration on my offer and convey best compliments to all members
of the family. Say salam to everyone.
Allah Hafiz.
