SR 1. A Triumph of Surgery 

1. Mrs. Pumphrey loved Tricki like her own child. She gave him soft cushions, tasty treats, and even clothes to keep him warm. But soon, she noticed that he was getting fatter and not as active as before.

Describe how Mrs. Pumphrey felt when she saw Tricki growing fatter, weaker, and more unwell every day. What thoughts ran through her mind? What did she think she was doing right? What was she afraid of?

Mrs. Pumphrey felt very worried as she watched Tricki getting fatter and weaker every day. He did not want to walk, play, or even eat properly. She thought she was giving him the best care—rich food, tasty snacks, warm clothes, and lots of love. In her mind, feeding him more was a way of showing love. She did not want him to feel hungry or sad.

But when Tricki stopped running and looked tired all the time, she became scared. She thought, “What if he is very sick? What if I am doing something wrong?” She felt confused and helpless. Even though she was trying to do her best, she saw that Tricki was not happy.

She did not know what else to do, so she called Dr. Herriot. She trusted him and hoped he could help Tricki feel better. Inside, she felt a little guilty but also very scared to lose her pet. Tricki was like a child to her, and the thought of him being sick made her heart very heavy. She just wanted him to be healthy and happy again.

📚📚📚📚📚📚

2. Describe how Dr. Herriot felt as he decided to take Tricki to the surgery. What made him come to this decision? What were his thoughts about Mrs. Pumphrey’s over-indulgence? What were his concerns as a vet?

Dr. Herriot felt deeply concerned as he watched Tricki grow weaker and heavier each day. The little dog was bloated, dull, and had no energy. He understood that Tricki’s poor health was caused by overfeeding and lack of exercise. Although Mrs. Pumphrey truly loved her pet, her constant pampering and giving him rich food had made things worse. Dr. Herriot had earlier suggested changes in diet and activity, but she had not followed them.

As a responsible vet, Dr. Herriot finally decided to take Tricki to the surgery. He knew that only in his clinic could he control the dog’s meals and give him proper care. He also wanted Tricki to spend time with other dogs and live a simple, active life. Although he felt sad about taking Tricki away and was aware that Mrs. Pumphrey would be heartbroken, his main concern was the dog’s health. He felt that her love, though sincere, lacked understanding. Dr. Herriot gently explained to her that Tricki needed medical attention, and she agreed with tears in her eyes. In his heart, Dr. Herriot hoped that Tricki would recover soon and that Mrs. Pumphrey would realize how too much love can sometimes do harm.

📚📚📚📚📚

3. Tricki was once a happy little dog. He loved to run, jump, and play. But slowly, he started to feel tired, heavy, and sick. He was being fed too many rich foods and treats. He didn’t know what was happening to his body.

Describe how Tricki felt when he became very fat and unwell. What was happening to him? What did he want? How did he feel when he was taken to the surgery?

Tricki felt very tired and weak. His body had become heavy, and he could not run or play like before. He didn’t feel hungry most of the time but was still being given food again and again. He did not understand why he was feeling so sleepy and sick. He missed being outside, playing with other dogs, and going on walks. He wanted to feel free and happy again.

When the car came to take him to the surgery, he was a little scared. He did not know where he was going. But after reaching there, he saw other dogs and a big open space. The doctor did not give him any extra food. Instead, he was given water and rest. Slowly, Tricki started feeling better. He began running, jumping, and playing with the other dogs. He felt light and happy. He loved his new routine.

Tricki didn’t miss the rich food anymore. He enjoyed moving freely and having fun. He felt healthy and strong again. Deep inside, he was thankful that someone helped him get better.

SR 2. The Thief's Story 

Hari Singh was a young thief who used to change his name and trick people to steal from them. But when he met Anil, something in him began to change. Anil was kind, simple, and trusting. He even taught Hari to write. But one night, Hari stole money from him and ran away.

Describe how Hari Singh felt after he stole the money and walked away. What thoughts came into his mind? Why did he finally return?

Hari Singh felt very confused after stealing the money from under Anil’s pillow. As he walked in the night, he counted the notes. It was a lot of money—enough to live for some time without stealing. But something didn’t feel right. His heart was heavy. He thought about Anil’s kind face and the way he taught him to read and write.

It started to rain, and he had no shelter. He stood near the railway station, ready to leave, but he didn’t move. A voice in his heart told him he was wrong. Anil had trusted him like a friend. He didn’t shout or ask questions. No one had ever cared like that before.

Hari felt shame. He didn’t want to lose this new life. He wanted to become a better person. So, he made a big decision—he went back to Anil’s room quietly and placed the money back under the mattress.

Hari couldn’t sleep that night, but his heart felt lighter. He knew he had done the right thing. For the first time, he felt proud—not for stealing, but for changing.

📚📚📚📚📚

2. Anil was a kind and simple man who earned little money through writing articles. He trusted Hari Singh and even taught him how to cook and write. One day, he discovered Hari had tried to steal from him. But he said nothing.

Describe how Anil felt when he saw the money back in its place the next morning. What did he understand about Hari? Why did he not say anything?

When Anil woke up the next morning and checked under his pillow, he noticed something strange. The money was still there. He knew very well that Hari had tried to steal it the night before. But now the notes were in place, just like before. Anil quietly understood everything. He didn’t say a word.

Anil smiled to himself. He knew that Hari had changed his mind. It made him happy. He felt proud that his trust and kindness had helped someone choose the right path. He didn’t want to scare Hari or make him feel guilty. He believed in giving people another chance.

Later that morning, Anil gave Hari a 50-rupee note as usual. But this time, Hari noticed that it wasn’t crisp and new like before—it was old and wet. Anil didn’t ask questions. But his kind eyes said everything. He knew about the theft, but he also knew about the return.

Anil felt hopeful. He believed that Hari could become a good person. He wanted to help him grow, not punish him. That’s why he continued teaching him, as if nothing had happened.

SR 3. The Midnight Visitor

1. Ausable was not the kind of secret agent you’d expect. He was fat and lived in a small hotel room. But he was clever, calm, and quick-thinking. When he saw an intruder in his room with a gun, he didn’t panic.

Describe how Ausable reacted when he saw Max in his room with a pistol. What did he say and do to handle the situation? What does this show about his character?

When Ausable saw Max in his room holding a pistol, he did not look shocked or scared. Instead, he stayed calm and started thinking fast. He knew he had to act smart to save himself and Fowler. So, he began speaking in a serious voice and made up a story about a balcony outside the window.

Ausable told Max that he was expecting the police and that they would arrive any minute. He also said that Max could escape through the balcony. Max believed Ausable because he was so confident. But there was no balcony at all!

A few minutes later, there was a knock at the door. It was the waiter Henry, but Ausable used this moment cleverly. Max thought it was the police and jumped out the window to escape—falling to his death.

Ausable’s clever thinking and calm behaviour saved the day. This shows that real intelligence is not about looks or action—it is about staying calm and using your mind wisely.

📚📚📚📚📚

2. Fowler was a young writer who wanted to meet a secret agent. He expected danger, guns, and adventure. But when he met Ausable, he was surprised. He looked nothing like a spy.

Describe what Fowler felt when he first met Ausable and how his opinion changed after the incident with Max. What lesson did he learn about real bravery?

When Fowler first met Ausable, he was disappointed. He thought a secret agent would be tall, smart, and carry a gun. But Ausable was fat, slow-moving, and lived in a quiet hotel room. Fowler felt bored and thought the evening would be dull.

But everything changed when they entered Ausable’s room and found a man named Max with a pistol. Fowler was shocked and scared. He didn’t know what to do. But Ausable stayed calm and spoke very confidently. He told Max there was a police team coming and even talked about a balcony for escape. Fowler was confused, but he watched quietly.

When Max jumped out of the window and disappeared, Fowler was amazed. Ausable had fooled Max without fighting or shouting. There was no police and no balcony—it was all a trick!

Fowler now saw Ausable in a new way. He understood that being brave doesn’t mean looking strong. It means thinking fast and staying calm in danger. Fowler learned that real spies don’t need guns—they need smart minds.

📚📚📚📚📚

3. Max was a secret agent too, but he was not as smart as he thought. He broke into Ausable’s room with a pistol and tried to act powerful. But he was easily tricked.

Describe Max’s thoughts and actions when he entered Ausable’s room. How did he react to the story about the police and the balcony? What was his biggest mistake?

Max entered Ausable’s room with confidence. He pointed his pistol at Ausable and tried to scare him. He wanted to take the secret papers that Ausable had. Max thought that by showing his gun, he would be in control.

But when Ausable started talking calmly about a balcony and the police, Max got nervous. He believed every word Ausable said. He looked outside the window for the balcony, although he couldn’t see it clearly. When there was a knock on the door, Ausable said it was the police. Max panicked. He didn’t want to get caught.

So, without checking properly, Max stepped out of the window to escape. But there was no balcony at all—only a straight wall. That was his biggest mistake. He trusted Ausable’s words without thinking. He let fear control his actions.

Max’s overconfidence and fear made him fail. He didn’t stay calm or check the facts. In the end, he lost his life because he was not as clever as Ausable.

SR 4. A Question of Trust

1. Horace Danby was a quiet man who loved books. He lived alone and made locks. But once a year, he became a thief. When he entered the house for the robbery, he thought no one was home. He was sure of his plan and felt proud.

Describe how Horace felt as he entered the house for stealing. What thoughts did he have about his life, his plan, and the risk? What was going on in his heart and mind?

Horace Danby felt very sure and clever when he entered the house. He had planned everything carefully. He wore gloves and didn’t touch anything more than needed. He smiled as he looked around the big house, feeling proud of himself. This would be his one robbery for the year.

Inside his heart, he felt excited but also a little afraid. He knew stealing was wrong, but he told himself he only did it once a year. He used the money to buy books because he loved to read.

He thought no one would know, and he would get away easily. He had done this before and never got caught. But deep inside, he also felt nervous. What if something went wrong? What if someone came?

Still, he pushed those thoughts away. He thought he was smart and careful. He believed he would be safe. Horace didn’t know that this day would be different. He didn’t know that someone was watching him—and that would change everything.

📚📚📚📚📚

2. Horace was busy opening the safe when a woman entered. She said she was the owner’s wife and caught him. But instead of calling the police, she asked him to open the safe for her. Horace believed her.

Describe Horace’s thoughts and feelings when he met the woman. What did he feel—fear, surprise, guilt? Why did he trust her so easily? What was going on in his heart?

Horace was shocked when he saw the woman. His hands froze. His heart beat faster. He thought his secret life was over. He expected her to scream or call the police. But she stayed calm and spoke kindly.

She said she was the owner’s wife. She looked rich and well-dressed. She told Horace that she needed something from the safe but had forgotten the code. Horace felt a mix of fear and surprise. But he also felt some hope.

She didn’t act angry or scared. She didn’t treat him like a criminal. She promised not to call the police if he helped her. Horace was so nervous that he believed her. He felt thankful that she was being nice.

Deep in his heart, he felt guilty for stealing. But now he just wanted to leave safely. So, he opened the safe for her. He thought he had avoided trouble.

Horace didn’t guess that she was lying. He trusted her smile and gentle voice. He never imagined that he, the thief, was being tricked by another thief.

📚📚📚📚📚

2. A few days later, the real lady of the house called the police. Horace was caught. He understood that he had been fooled. Now he was in jail, making locks again.

Describe how Horace felt in jail. What did he think about his mistake? What did he feel about the woman who fooled him? What lesson did he learn?

Horace sat in jail with a sad face. He was angry with himself. He thought about the woman who had tricked him. He remembered her voice and her smile. She looked so kind—but she was the real thief.

Now he knew that she was not the owner’s wife. She had fooled him easily. He felt foolish for trusting her so quickly. He had been so careful with his plan, but one small mistake changed everything.

Horace felt more pain because he had done the robbery to buy books. He didn’t want to hurt anyone. But now, he was in jail like a common thief.

He spent his days making locks, just like before. But this time, he was not free. He promised himself that he would never steal again. He had learned a big lesson: not to trust strangers, even if they seem nice.

Horace also thought that people are not always what they look like. Some may lie to save themselves. He was not just sad—he was ashamed. He knew he had broken the law and lost his freedom because of it.

SR 5. Footprints Without Feet

1. Griffin was a brilliant scientist, but he used his knowledge in the wrong way. After many experiments, he found a way to become invisible. He thought this power would make his life easy.

Describe how Griffin felt when he first became invisible. What thoughts did he have? What were his dreams and plans? Did he feel happy or afraid? What was going on in his heart?

Griffin felt very excited when he became invisible. He looked in the mirror and saw no one. At first, he laughed with joy. He thought, “Now no one can stop me. I can go anywhere, do anything, and no one will see me.”

In his heart, he felt powerful. He thought about all the problems he had faced—people didn’t respect him, he had no money, and no home. Now, everything would change. He could take what he wanted and teach others a lesson.

But deep inside, a small part of him also felt afraid. “What if I can never turn back?” he wondered. Still, he pushed the fear away. He believed he was the smartest man in the world.

He walked out in the streets, feeling free and strong. But soon he realized he had no clothes. People stared at the moving things. Dogs barked. He had to run and hide.

Griffin felt both happy and worried. He had power but no peace. His dreams were big, but his way was wrong. He didn’t care. He thought he could control everything—but life had other plans.

📚📚📚📚📚

2. Griffin entered a big London store to sleep at night. When no one was watching, he ate food, wore warm clothes, and felt happy. But in the morning, he had to run away again.

Describe how Griffin felt while stealing from the store. What was going on in his mind? Did he feel happy, guilty, scared, or lonely? Why did he do it?

Griffin was cold, tired, and hungry when he entered the store. No one could see him, so he walked in quietly. He took food from the shelf and ate quickly. He wore warm clothes and shoes. He even found a hat and a fake nose.

At that moment, Griffin felt warm and safe. He thought, “This is the life I want. No one can stop me.” He laughed, walked around the store, and rested in a soft bed.

But when the morning came, the lights turned on. People started entering. He had to run. The workers saw clothes moving on their own. They screamed. Griffin was scared. He threw away his clothes and became invisible again.

As he ran, he felt angry and tired. “Why can’t I enjoy anything in peace?” he thought. He didn’t feel guilty for stealing. He thought the world had been unfair to him, so he could do what he wanted.

But deep inside, Griffin also felt lonely. He had no friends. No one knew who he was. He wanted freedom, but it didn’t bring him happiness. His heart was full of anger, not joy.

📚📚📚📚📚

3. Griffin stayed at an inn in a village. The owners were curious about him. One day, they entered his room and saw something strange. Griffin became angry, hit people, and escaped invisibly.

Describe how Griffin felt while running from the villagers. Was he angry, scared, or sad? What did he think about people? Did he still believe invisibility was a gift?

Griffin felt very angry when the villagers entered his room. He wanted privacy, but people were always watching him. When they found his things and saw no one in the room, they got scared. Griffin lost his temper. He hit them, broke things, and ran away.

As he ran invisible through the village, people shouted and followed. Dogs barked. It was hard to stay calm. Griffin felt tired and afraid. “Why is everyone against me?” he thought.

He didn’t stop to think about what he had done. He only felt hate in his heart. He believed the world didn’t understand him. He was angry with everyone.

Griffin still believed his power made him special. But now, he also felt tired and lost. Being invisible meant he could not stay in one place. He could not enjoy food, shelter, or safety for long.

He thought invisibility gave him freedom, but now it felt like a prison. He had no name, no face, and no peace. He was always hiding, always running.

Griffin’s heart was full of pain. He had knowledge, but no kindness. And that was leading him down a dark path.

Richard Ebright always knew he was lucky to have a mother like her. She helped him when he was young, especially after his father died. She noticed that he loved science and learning.

She bought books for him from the market. She read with him, asked him questions, and helped him with his science projects. She took him to places like museums and gave him everything he needed to grow.

Richard felt thankful every time he thought of her. He knew that without her support, he may not have become a scientist. She was his first teacher, his best friend, and his guide.

He thought, “She believed in me even before I believed in myself.” Her words stayed in his mind when he felt sad or lost.

Even when he got big prizes and made great discoveries, he always remembered his mother’s small acts of love. He wanted to make her proud.

Richard felt that her love gave him strength. Her care gave him direction. She was the reason he never gave up.

He once said, “I’m here because she never let me stop learning.”

Write about Madame Loisel's feelings during the party. How did she feel when others looked at her? What thoughts went through her mind?

Madame Loisel felt very happy at the ball. Everyone looked at her with great admiration. Some men asked her to dance. Women whispered and looked at her beautiful dress and necklace.

For the first time, she felt truly beautiful. She had always dreamed of this life—rich, loved, and respected. Now, it was real, even if just for one night. She smiled brightly and danced with joy. She forgot that she was poor and did not own the necklace.

In her heart, she felt proud and full of confidence. She thought, “This is how I was meant to live. This is the life I deserve.” For that short time, she did not feel small or unhappy.

The night was magical. Everything seemed perfect. She was the center of attention, and it felt wonderful. She did not want the night to end.

But deep inside, there was a little fear. She knew the necklace was borrowed. She hoped nothing bad would happen.

When Madame Loisel saw that the necklace was gone, she felt shocked. Her hands began to shake. Her heart beat very fast. She searched everywhere—in her dress, her coat, and even on the road—but it was not there.

She thought, “How will I tell Madame Forestier? What will she think of me?” Her eyes filled with tears. She had never felt so scared in her life.

She blamed herself for borrowing such an expensive thing. “Why did I not take better care of it?” she asked again and again. She also felt angry at herself for wanting to look rich when she was not.

She thought about her husband. How would they pay for a new necklace? She felt very sad and guilty. Her dream night had turned into a nightmare.

She was afraid of being punished or laughed at. But more than that, she was ashamed. She had lost someone else’s trust.

The fear and guilt stayed with her. She felt helpless. She never thought a small mistake could cause so much pain.

That moment changed her life. The joy of one night became the sorrow of many years.

All the pain and struggle of the last ten years came rushing back to her mind. She remembered how she and her husband had worked day and night, lived in a small house, and gave up everything to repay a debt.

She felt a deep sadness in her heart. “All this hard life—for nothing,” she thought. It felt like a cruel joke. She had lost her youth, her beauty, and her peace—all because of a lie she didn’t know.

She was not angry at Madame Forestier. She was angry at fate, at her dreams of being rich, and at herself for not telling the truth long ago.

Tears filled her eyes. She thought of all the lost years, the pain, and the things that could have been different.

She felt tired, but also wise. She had learned that chasing false pride brings only sorrow.

Bholi was very scared when her father told her she would go to school. She did not understand why. No one had ever sent her to school before.

She thought, “Why now? Have I done something wrong?” She looked at her mother, hoping she would stop her father. But no one helped her.

Bholi was also shy and nervous. She could not speak clearly. People often laughed at her. She was afraid that the other children would laugh too.

When the teacher asked her name, Bholi tried to speak. At first, she stammered. But the teacher waited patiently. She did not laugh. This gave Bholi courage.

She thought, “Maybe I can speak. Maybe I’m not so useless.” A little hope lit up in her heart. She had never felt proud of herself before.

Slowly, she stood up. Her heart was beating fast, but her voice was strong. She said she would not marry a greedy man. Everyone was shocked.

SR 9. The Book that Saved the Earth

 The Martians had never seen books before. When the crew on Earth found a library, Think-Tank thought the books were dangerous.

Describe Think-Tank’s feelings when he learned about the books. What did he imagine? What was he afraid of?

Think-Tank was very worried when he heard about the books on Earth. He had never seen such things before. To him, books looked strange and scary.

He thought they were some kind of weapon. He imagined that Earthlings were very clever and could attack Mars with these books. He became nervous.

When his team said that Earthlings “read” books, he was confused. He thought they might be eating them, like food. His mind was full of funny guesses.

Then, when the crew read a poem from the book, Think-Tank became more afraid. He thought it was a secret plan to destroy Mars.

He started to feel small and foolish. He did not want to take any risks. So, he quickly ordered the Mars invasion to stop.

Inside, Think-Tank felt scared, confused, and also a little embarrassed. He wanted to be the smartest, but now he was not so sure.

He learned that fear comes from not understanding things. And sometimes, a little book can stop a big war.

📚📚📚📚📚

2. The Martian crew on Earth was sent to study the planet. When they entered a library, they were confused by books. They had never seen paper or printed words before.

Describe how the crew felt when they entered the library. What were their thoughts as they looked at the books?

When the Martian crew entered the library, they were amazed. They looked around at the rows and rows of books. They had never seen such things before.

Oop, Omega, and Iota felt confused. They picked up books and flipped through the pages. But they did not understand what they were for.

At first, they thought the books might be Earth’s energy source or tools. Then they thought maybe Earthlings ate them.

When they saw letters and pictures, they became even more curious. They tried to read a book and found it funny and strange.

They did not know if books were dangerous or helpful. But they felt a little scared and unsure. They didn’t want to make a mistake.

Even though they were confused, they were also excited. It was their first time seeing something new from another planet.

They wanted to report back to Think-Tank but didn’t want to give the wrong information. Their minds were full of questions.

That moment showed that learning about new things is not easy—but it’s also an adventure.

📚📚📚📚📚

The Martians believed that Earth had powerful secret codes. But the book was just full of nursery rhymes. Still, it scared them enough to stop the invasion.

Describe how Earth was saved because of a simple book. How did the Martians misunderstand it? What does this say about the power of words?

Earth was saved in a very strange way. A small book full of nursery rhymes made the Martians so scared that they ran away.

The Martian crew found the book in the library. It had funny poems like “Humpty Dumpty” and “Hey Diddle Diddle.” But the Martians did not understand these were just rhymes for children.

They thought the book was full of powerful secrets and war plans. They believed that Earthlings were very smart and strong.

Think-Tank became very afraid. He thought “Humpty Dumpty” meant Earth could break Martians like eggs. He believed cows could fly and soldiers were marching.

He imagined Earth’s weapons were too dangerous for Mars. So, he quickly called off the invasion and told everyone to escape.

Because of this small book, Earth was saved without a single fight.

This shows that sometimes, people fear what they don’t understand. Words may seem simple, but they can be powerful when others don’t know their meaning.

The Martians’ fear gave peace to Earth. A funny little book became a hero.
