SECTION-B

As civilization has grown more complex, the workers have
become more and more enslaved, until today they are
little more than parts of the machines they operate. Daily
they face the dangers of railroad, bridge, skyscraper,
freight train, stokehold, stockyard and training at the
docks, on the railroads and underground and on the seas.
They move the traffic and pass from land to land the
precious commodities that make it possible for us to live.
And what is their reward? A scanty wage, often poverty,
rents taxes tributes and war compensations.
11. What kind of dangers do the workers face everyday?
12. Which reward do the workers get for their hard labour?
Remember they have eyes like ours that wake
Or sleep, and strength that can be won
By love. In every land is common life
That all can recognise and understand.
Let us remember, whenever we are told
To hate our brothers, it is ourselves
That we shall dispossess, betray, condemn.
13. How do we behave with our brothers when we are told to hate
them?
14. How can we win strength?

The King had a very beautiful daughter. One day he
found out that she had fallen in love with a poor young
soldier in his army. The King was very angry. The soldier
was arrested and taken to the arena. The princess knew
which door concealed the tiger and which one concealed
the beautiful girl. However, she was a very jealous
princess and did not want the soldier to marry the girl
behind the door. Neither did she want to see her lover
killed the tiger.
15. Why was the King very angry?
16. What did the princess know?
I need you both to be with me and understand me about
my decisions regarding what’s wrong and what’s right. I
wish to try out my ways to deal with the situations
around me. I recall that when I was learning to walk, I
used to fall quite often. But with you love and care, I
learnt to get up and run. While experimenting in my life
I know, I may fail but I am also sure that you will be there
with me. I have learnt from you that experience
generates strength to begin anew after committing
mistakes.
