There were sudden fierce dark clouds in the sky blowing across as if the wind god himself were chasing them. I could smell moisture in the earth and knew it was raining somewhere.Hariya busily scrambled amongst the mud and stones and wrapped all our tools and vessels in one large cloth.When packed it looked like a swollen pillow that he expertly loaded onto his head. “Let’s go, master,” he said. “The air doesn’t smell good to me. Looks like thunder and storms. We’d better be home before they strike.”?
I nodded and pulled at the rope attached? to the neck of our bullock. “If it rains,” I was S thinking, “the fields are not ploughed, and the mud will become sticky.”
“Hariya,” I said, “Did you and Mauliya milk the cow this morning ?”
“Oh, yes,” said Hariya.“We woke up before l dawn. You were snoring away and got up just s in time for tea. You had a tiring day yesterday”
“Yes,” I admitted. I could still feel my; shoulders aching with the effort spent in building the mud bunds all around the field.I was grateful to the Reddy boys who had come to help me in the work. Alone I would never have s been able to put up the mud embankment all around the field in just one day. “At least that is done, and I ought to be grateful,” I thought to myself. “Even if it rains, they will protect S the good soil of the farmland.”

View full solution →Every afternoon on their way home from school, the children used to go and play in the Giant’s garden. It was a lovely garden with soft green grass. Here and there over the grass stood beautiful flowers like stars, and there were twelve peach-trees that in the springtime broke out into delicate blossoms of pink and pearl, and in the autumn bore rich fruit. The birds sat on the trees and sang so sweetly that the children used to stop their games in order to listen to them. “How happy we are here!” they cried to each other.One day the Giant came back. He had been to visit his friend the Cornish ogre and had stayed with him for seven years. After the seven years were over he had said all that he had to say, for his conversation was limited, and he determined to return to his own castle. When he arrived he saw the children playing in the garden.
“What are you doing here ?” he cried in a very gruff voice and the children ran away.
“My own garden is my own garden,” said the Giant; “any one can understand that, and I will allow nobody to play in it but myself.” So he built a high wall all around it, and put up a noticeboard:

View full solution →The frog half fearful jumps across the path,
The little mouse that leaves its hole at eve
Nimble’s with timid dread beneath the swath;
My rustling steps awhile their joys deceive,
Till past, and then the cricket sings more strong,
And grasshoppers in merry moods still wear
The short night weary with their fretting song.
Up from behind the molehill jumps the hare,
Cheat of his chosen bed, and from the bank
The yellowhammer flutters in short fears
From off its nest hid in the grasses rank,
And drops again when no more noise it hears,
Thus nature’s human link and endless thrall,
Proud man still seems the enemy of all. -John Clare

View full solution →Oh, sweet content, that turns the labourer’s sweat
To tears of joy, and shines the roughest face;
How often have I sought you high and low
And found you still in some lone quiet place;
Here, in my room, when full of happy dreams,
With no life heard beyond that merry sound
of moths that on my lighted ceiling kiss
Their shadows as they dance and dance around;
Or in a garden, on a summer’s night,
When I have seen the dark and solemn air.
Blink with the blind bats’ wings, and heaven’s bright face
Twitch with the stars that shine in thousands there. -William Henry Davies

whose names will ever line in every heart
With joyous fragrance like the budding rose
That was of you so intimate a part;
You fought and strove to give our nation light,
To bring it freedom, break its binding chain,
You warred against a vast, imperial mightYou suffered grief and anguish, loss and pain;
But yet you fought, and when at last we won
And took our place in freedom’s glowing light
You did yourself become the nation’s sun
And for her welfare laboured day and night;
Now you are gone, and we who stay behind
Will cherish our sweet memories of you
And strive with every power of heart and mind
To make your dreams of glory come out true.
