Oliver told them his story. He had searched for Orlando everywhere in the forest, he said, and at last, tired and hungry, he had fallen asleep under a tree. On his way from Rosalind's cottage, Orlando had seen his brother lying asleep. A big snake had curled round Oliver's neck and was just going to bite him when it saw Orlando and slipped away into a bush. And then Orlando saw that a hungry lion was waiting under the same bush, ready to kill Oliver as soon as he woke up.
Orlando thought of all his brother's unkindness to him in the past. Why should he risk his own life to save this brotherwho had always been cruel to him? Twice he turned away to leave Oliver, but he had a kind and noble heart and at last decided that he could not leave his brother to die. So he fought thelion. The fierce animal tore and bit his arm, but he managed to kill it. Oliver, wakened by the noise of the fight, saw that Orlando was risking his own lifeto save him. He was filled with shame at all his past  unkindness to his young brother, and he begged Orlando to forgive him.

Orlando took his brother to the Duke, who gave him food and clothes. Orlando said nothing about the wound the lion had given him, but it had been bleeding all the time, and suddenly he fell to the ground and fainted from loss ofblood. As soon as he recovered consciousness, Orlando begged Oliver to go to Ganymede and Aliena. 'Show them this blood-stained handkerchief,' he said, 'and explain to them why I have broken my promise to be with them at two o'clock'.

B) Speech Writing on 'My Idea of India as a Developed CountryB) Speech Writing on 'My Idea of India as a Developed Country'.

Honourable Chief guest, dignitaries on the dais, teachers and all my fiiends present over here. I take this great opportunity to express my ideas of India as a developed country.
  You know that one of the great visionaries, Dr. Abdul Kalam, Who just left us forever, has prophesised in his 'Vision 2020' that India will be a developed country by 2020. And being an Indian I also expee( the same.
When I dream to be a citizen of a developed nation, I always have a question in my mind, What would it be like?
You see, even after the six decades of lndependence, there are many problems still prevailing in the society. They are the major berries in the development of the country. Unless and until, we overcome the barriers,   ours can't be a developed nation. 
To me, in developed India there would be no hunger, no child would die ofmalnutrition, there will be no povelty. It's quite unfoftunatc that even today a large section of the society is far away from education. So, I expect that this underprivileged class would get a quality education. Every child will go to school.
We know, in developing India, there is a broad dividing line between rural and urban development. But in developed India, there would have ample employment opportunities in villages also. Every village will have the world class healthcare facilities such as hospitals, pure drinking water, proper sewerage and sanitation system etc, This is one of the important indicators of a developed country. In short, the village will be a true projection of Gandiji's idea.

So, friends if you want to live in such a developed nation, you have a great responsibility to eradicate all the problems which are hurdles in the way of India's development.

Thank you.

paragraph of your own. (about 120 words ) (4 Marks)
"Here is a fine piece of turf for the lark," said one of the boys, and  began to cut out a square round the daisy, so that it remained inthe cente ofthe grass.
''Pluck the flower off' said the other boy, and the daisy tembled for fear, for to be pulled offmeant deathto it; and it wished so muchto.live, as   it was to go with the square of turf  into the poor captive lark's cage.
"No let it stay," said the other boy, "it looks so pretty."

And so it stayed, and was brought into the lark's cage. The poor  bird was lamenting its lost liberty, andbeating its wings againstthe wires;  and the little daisy could not speak or utter a consoling word, much as it would have liked to do so. So the forenoon passed.
"I have no water," said the captive lark, 'theyhave all gone out, and forgotten to give me anything to drink. My throat is dry and burning. I feel as ifl had fire and ice within me and the air is so oppressive. Alas! I must die, and part with the warm sunshine, the fresh green meadows, and all the   beauty that God has created." And it thrust its beak into the piece of grass, to refresh itselfa little. Then it noticed the little daisy, and nodded to it, and   kissed it with its beak and said: "You must also fade in here, poor little  flower. You and the piece ofgass are all they have given me in exchange for the whole world, which I enjoyed outside. Each little blade of grass shall be a green tree for me , each ofyourwhite petals a fragrant flower.
Alas! you onlyremind me ofwhatIhave lost."


 ANSWERS


B- 2) Hearing the lamenting of the lark, the boys' mother came there. She noticed the lark in a cage beating its wings against the wire. She also noticed the lark was dying of thirst and food and the little daisy flower was withering away. She felt very sad for that. At the same time, she was angry with her children for their cruel act.
She said, "O pretty lark, you were singing happily yesterday and look! what my boys have done with you and this pretty flower is also withering away." "I should bring water forthe bird and little daisy' she whispered.
Hearing this, the lark and the daisy lightened up and there raised a hope of living a life again.
Mother brought water and gave the lark, sprinckled some on the little daisy. As soon as the lark drank water, he started singing happily and daisy started cheerfully swaying from side to side with happiness. Mother said, "I will teach a good lesson to my boys." & set the bird free and replanted the daisy.
The lark was grateful and started singing a happy tune and flew high up inthe sky in the warm sunlight. Little daisy watched him with immense satisfaction.
