ఖగోళ వస్తువులన్నీ గుండ్రంగా, గోళాకారంలో ఉండటానికి కారణం – ప్రధానంగా గురుత్వాకర్షణ శక్తి అని చెప్పవచ్చు. ఖగోళ వస్తువు యొక్క గురుత్వాకర్షణ శక్తి అన్ని వైపులకు సమానంగా లాగబడటం వలన ఇవి గోళాకారంగా ఉన్నాయి. (విశ్వం ఏర్పడినప్పుడు ఏర్పడిన ఈ ఖగోళ వస్తువులన్ని నక్షత్రాల చుట్టు తిరుగుతూ, వాని ఆకర్షణకు లోనవ్వటం కూడా మరొక కారణం)

Dear Sankar,
I’m quite fine here and hope you are all fine here.
Sankar, last week I saw a running race competition in our stadium. A girl with special needs, who is struck with polio even from her childhood also participated. I had a doubt how she could win the race. To my surprise, she got the first. At first, she stumbled two or three times but on seeing the other runners speeding, she got inspired and began to run so fast that she touched the ribbon first.
Friend, I think handicap or disability is no bar to get success if one has the will to win.

Dear Misra,
How are you? There are no letters from you. Are you so busy ? I expect a letter at least to this.
I always think that doctors are hard-hearted and work only for money. There was an incident of a doctor who had operated on a child.

The parents of the child are very poor. They’ve taken loan from their friends and there is no tne to help them. The child has been suffering from a serious illness. He requires immediate operation. As it is costly, the parents gave up their attempts. But a doctor who know the case from the child’s sister, went to their house, admitted him to the hospital and operated on him without charging any fee.

This shows that all ductors are not selfish. There are some who are noble and broad – minded. O.K. Friend. Try to reply to this.

Yours sincerely,
Venu.

Read the following conversation paying special attention to the use of quto marks, and exclamation marks.
“Where’s the champion of Israel?” shouted Goliath.
“Let him come and fight with me!”
“Who is this man?” said David.
“I’ll go and fight him.”
“How stupid you are!” Goliath exclaimed.
You understand from the above sentences that a question ends with a questias, mark (?) and an exclamatory sentence with an exclamatory mark (!)

Now read the following conversation and use question marks or exclamatory marks wherever necessary.
Tess : I want to buy a mircale. How much does it cost
The Shopkeeper : I am sorry.
Tess : Why
The Shopkeeper : Because we don’t have any medicine like “a miracle”
Tess : What a pity
Answer :
Tess : I want to buy a mircale. How much does it cost?
The Shopkeeper : I am sorry.
Tess : Why?
The Shopkeeper : Because we don’t have any medicine like “a miracle”.
Tess : What a pity!

II. Apostrophe (‘) in possessive case of nouns and contractions Read the following passage.
Andrew’s disease worried Tess’s parents because they did not have enough money for the treatment. Tess heard her father’s words. She decided to buy a miracle to cure her brother’s disease. She went to the medical store to buy the medicine. The shopkeeper said, “We don’t sell miracles here. I’m sorry.”
As you can see from the words / expressions in bold, the apostrophe is used to indicate the following.

Here, Tess’s parents means the parents of Tess. Similarly, Andrew’s disease means the disease of Andrew.

The apostrophe is used here to talk about something that belongs to somebody or something. But it is also used to indicate the omission of a few letters, thus forming short forms or contractions. Don’t is the short form of do not. Similarly, I’m is the short form of I am. June’ 09 is the short form of June 2009. In this case, apostrophe indicates that some letters/ numbers are omitted.

Read the following sentences and identify the contracted forms. Rewrite them in long form.

1. “I don’t know” she replied. “He’s really sick and Mummy says he needs an operation.”
2. But Daddy can’t pay for it.
3. Let’s see if I’ve the kind of miracle he needs.
Answer :
1) “I do not know” she replied. “He is really sick and Mummy says he needs an operation.”
2) But Daddy can not pay for it.
3) Let us see if I have the kind of miracle he needs.

III. Read the following story :

Answer :

IV. Read the following sentences.

Andrew needed a costly surgery now and there was no one to loan them money. Dr.Armstrong operated on Andrew without any charges, and within a few weeks he was back at home doing well.

Observe the underlined words. They do not specify the exact amount or number but quantify things. They are called quantifiers. The words no, none, any, a lot of, much, many, a little, a few, etc. come under this category.
1. We use no or none of to indicate not or not any in order to emphasise the negative idea in a sentence.
2. We use a few and a little to talk about a small number and quantity.
3. Much is used with uncountable nouns like sugar, and many is used with countable nouns like pen, book etc.

What Can a Dollar and Eleven Cents Do? Summary in English

Tess, an eight year old child, heard from her parents that her little brother, Andrew was very sick and badly needed an operation. But they were very poor. As it was a costly surgery, her parents lost their hope and gave up their efforts. Tess heard that her father’s saying to her mother that only a miracle could save Andrew. Thinking that the miracle was a medicine, Tess wanted to buy that from the medical store with the money she had. So, Tess took the money she saved and went to the medical shop.

She asked the chemist to give her a ‘miracle’. The chemist replied that the miracles were not sold there. Then Dr. Carlton Armstrong, who had observed Tess, asked her what kind of a miracle her brother needed. She replied that her brother needed an operation but her daddy couldn’t pay for it. She also told him that she had her savings with her.

The doctor asked her how much money she had and she replied that she had one dollar and eleven cents. Then the doctor told her that amount was enough to buy a miracle and asked her to show him her house to know if he had the kind of miracle Andrew needed. He admitted Andrew to hospital and operated on him. Andrew was well again within a short time. Tess’s mother wondered how much it would have cost. Only Tess knew that it was one dollar and eleven cents.

Dear Bhushan,
How’re you ? I’am fine here. How about your family?
Recently I’ve read Pothana’s Bhagavatam. I think that every Telugu person should read it. It’s so sweet. Let alone the story part of it, the poems flow like a river making rhythmic sounds. He repeats words and the sounds they make are really pleasing. That’s why he’s called a natural poet. The strange thing in him was that he didn’t dedicate his works to any mortal king just like the other poets. You know the sweetness of Telugu literature if you read it. You know the verses of Gajendra Moksham and Prahlada Charitra are on the tips of the tongues of almost all the Telugu People.
Plase try to read it.

Yours truly,
Siva.

1. Nagarjuna Sagar

The Nizam of Hyderabad planned to construct a dam to use the excess of waters of the river Krishna. He engaged British Engineers in 1903 to irrigate Telangana. Later, various sites in Siddeswaram, Hyderabad and Pulichintala were identified as the most suitable locations for the reservoirs. The Raja of Mutyala strove hard and identified the site for the construction of the dam under the able guidance of Sri K.L. Rao.

The Project construction was officially inaugurated by Jawaharlal Nehru on 1:th December, 1955 and proceeded for the next twelve years. The reservoir water was released into the left and right bank canals by Indira Gandhi in 1967. But the construction of the day submerged an ancient Buddhist settlement, Nagarjuna Konda, the capital of Ikshwaku dynasty in the 1st and 2nd centuries. There were 30 Monasteries which were excavated. There were inscriptions also. They were relocated. Some were moved to Nagarjuna Konda.

2. Nagarjuna Konda

The Settlement of Nagarjuna Konda was the capital of the Ikshwaku dynasty (225 A. D. 325 A.D). The successors were the Satavahanas. During the early centuries of A.D. there were 30 Buddhist Viharans and inscriptions. Nagarjuna was the exponent of the philosophy ‘Sunyatha’ (Void). In that time Buddhism spread to Srilanka, and Burma. The second ruler of the dynasty was a Buddhist. There were constructions of temples and monasteries. The main stupa was completed after ten years. There is also a foot print at the site of Mahavihara vasin monastery which is believed to be a reproduction of that of Gautama Buddha.

The stupas were unearthed in 1926. This place was the centre for Buddhist learning in ancient India. This was expanded in 1954. The great stupa at Nagarjuna Konda belongs to the class of uncased stupas.

All those that are excavated were relocated on the Nagarjuna Konda an island hill in the middle of river Krishna.

We know that there is a construction named Charminar in Hyderabad. Do you know who constructed it? The fifth ruler of Qutb Shahi dynasty, Sultan Muhammed Quli Qutb Shah built the Charminar in 1591. It was built after shifting his capital from Golconda to Hyderabad. Now, we see it as the land mark in Hyderabad. It is constructed at the intersection of the historical trade route that connects the markets of Golla konda with the port city of Machilipatnam.

The old city of Hyderabad was designed with Charminar centre. The city was spread around the Charminar in four different quadrants. Persian architects were invited to develop the city plan. It is of Indo Islamic architecture style. There is also a legend of an underground tunnel connecting the Golla konda fort to Charminar. It may be an escape route in case of war. A person who visits Hyderabad would certainly visit Charminar. If we go to the top of Charminar, we can have a full view of Hyderabad.

Answer :

Warangal

Dear Friends, recently I had been to Warangal. It is also called Orugallu. It was the capital of the Kakatiya dynasty from 1195 until the ruling family was defeated by the Delhi Sultanate in 1323 . The city was renamed as Sultanpur. The Kakatiyas left many monuments, including the beautiful fort, the stone gateways, the Swayambhoo temple and the Ramappa temple. Their cultures and administration was described by Marcopolo.

After the defeat of Prataparudra – II, the Nayaks captured Warangal and ruled for fifty years. After Nayaks. Warangal became a part of the Bahaman’s of GolcondAnswer : Later Aurangzeb conquered Golconda in 1687. So it became a part of the Mughal Empire. After that, the Hyderabad State was formed in 1724 which included the Telangana region. It was annexed to India in 1948.

Then it was partitioned as part of States Reorganisation Act and Telangana which includes Warangal . Many hill rocks and lakes are located around warangal. Thousand Pillar Temple, Padmakshi hill and Govind Rajula Gutta are very famous.

Dear Seshu,
I’m very glad to receive your letter. We’re all fine and hope the same with all of you there.
Have you seen in the papers how smugglers are cutting down the trees and selling them ? It’s not only the ordinary timber they are selling but also the costly red sandal wood trees. They’ re becoming very rich. I think the government has been trying to check it. But I think it’s not enough.
So we formed a small group and started a campaign. We took some place with the writing. “Save trees and Save ourselves”. We started from Ravindra Bharati upto Uppal Stadium in a rally. I feel that the government would notice our efforts and take necessary action in this regard. O.K. please be in touch with me.

Yours truly,
Siva.

Dear Diary
Last week our school made a trip to zoo park in Hyderabad. We went to Hyderabad by train and by the time we reached the Zoo, it was $8 o^{\prime}$ clock in the morning. We bought tickets and were about to enter. The gate-keeper stopped a boy who was carrying a plastic bottle because such bottles are not allowed.

Then, we went in. It was not possible for us to see the whole zoo on foot. So we went on a vehicle arranged for the visit. We saw birds and animals. Especially the actions of the monkeys made us laugh. It took nearly four hours for us to complete the visit.
We returned home by the night train.

The Friendly Mongoose

Once, a farmer and his wife lived in a village with their small son. They loved him very much. “We must have a pet,” the farmer said to his wife one day. “When our son grows up, he will need a companion. This pet will be our son’s companion.” His wife liked the idea.

One evening, the farmer brought with him a tiny mongoose. “It’s a baby mongoose,” said his wife, “but will soon be fully grown. He will be a friend to our son.”

Both the baby and the mongoose grew. In five or six months, the mongoose had grown to its full size – a lovely animal with two shining black eyes and a bushy tail. The farmer’s son was still a baby in the cradle, sleeping and crying alternately.

One day, the farmer’s wife wanted to go to the market. She fed the baby and rocked him to sleep in his little cradle. Picking up the basket, she said to her husband, “I’m off to the bazar. The baby is sleeping. Keep an eye on him. Frankly, I don’t like to leave the child alone with the mongoose.”

“You needn’t be afraid,” said the farmer. “The mongoose is a friendly animal. It’s as sweet as our baby and they are the best of friends, you know.”

The wife went away, and the farmer, having nothing to do in the house, decided to go out and take a look at his fields not far away. He ran into some friends on the way back and didn’t return for quite some time.

The farmer’s wife finished her shopping and came back home with a basket full of groceries. She saw the mongoose sitting outside as if waiting for her. On seeing her, he ran to welcome her, as was customary. The farmer’s wife took one look at the mongoose and screamed. “Blood!” she cried. The face and paws of the mongoose were smeared with blood.

“You wicked animal! You have killed my baby,” she screamed hysterically. She was blind with rage and with all her strength brought down the heavy basket full of groceries on the blood-smeared mongoose and ran inside to the child’s cradle.

The baby was fast asleep. But on the floor lay a black snake torn and bleeding. In a flash she realised what had happened. She ran out looking for the mongoose. “Oh! You saved my child! You killed the snake! What have I done?” she cried touching the mongoose, who lay dead and still, unaware of her sobbing. The farmer’s wife, who had acted hastily and rashly, stared long at the dead mongoose. Then she heard the baby crying. Wiping her tears, she went in to feed him.

Listen to the story “The Friendly Mongoose” and answer the following questions.

Question 1.
Which character do you like the most in the story and why?
Answer :
I like the character of mongoose the most in the story because it sacrificed its life in saving the child with its faithfulness.

Question 2.
Do you think the mongoose would have bitten the child ?
Answer :
No, the mongoose didn’t bite the child. It bit the snake and saved the child.

Question 3.
Is the woman right in killing the mongoose? What would you have done?
Answer :
No, the woman is not right in killing the mongoose. I woudn’t be hasty in taking the decision. I would have gone into the room where the child slept in the cradle. Then I would have decided what to do.

Question 4.
Why did the husband go to fields leaving the child to the mongoose ?
Answer :
The husband went to fields as he had nothing to do in the house. He ran into some friends on the way. Moreover he had very much confidence in his pet mongoose; So he left the child to the care of mongoose.

Question 5.
Why do you think the mongoose killed the snake?
Answer :
I think the mongoose killed the snake when it tried to bite the little child. Otherwise the child must die with the poison of the snake when it bit him.

Question 6.
Suggest one word that describes the character of the mongoose in the story.
Answer :
Loyalty. (Faithfulness)

Question 7.
Is it a good idea to have a mongoose as a pet ? Give reasons.
Answer :
I think it is a good idea to have a mongoose as a pet. We are more pleasant with its presence before us. It defends us from the danger of crawling creatures. It protects us.

Peace and Harmony Summary in English

Long long ago there lived many animals, birds, snakes and insects in a very thick forest. They lived in peace and harmony. They played together happily. They often held a musical evening in a large open field and invited the moon, his friends and the stars to watch their special skills. At that time a cunning jackal entered the forest. He wanted to disturb the peace and kill the animals one by one for his prey. He poisoned their minds and roused enmity among them. They started suspecting one another, put up boundaries and built fences around their properties. They moved about individually.

The cunning jackal, who was waiting for this opportunity, started killing the animals one by one and ate them up. There were no more musical evenings. Then the moon decided to solve the problem and came down to the earth in the form of a Sadhu. When the creatures in the forest saw the Sadhu, they approached him and requested him to solve the problem. The Sadhu met all the creatures personally and advised them to move friendly with other ones. Seeing this the cunning jackal felt very anger with the Sadhu and wanted to kill him.

One day when the jackal tried to attack the hens, the Sadhu offered himself as jackal’s meal and requested the jackal to leave the hens. The jackal, immediately dragged the Sadhu into the forest, tore him into pieces and ate him up. But after sometime, the jackal’s stomach bloated and burst into pieces. At that time, they heard a soft voice wishing that all the creatures should live in peace and harmony. When the jackal’s life was ended in that way, all the animals started again to roam, sing and sleep in peace. The fences were broken down and the moon and the stars were invited for their cultural evenings.
