“It will be a fantastic birthday this year,” I said
in a mocking tone. “All I will get is a pair of
shoes and a hand-knitted pullover. I had asked for
a table tennis set, but my mother said, ‘It is totally
out of the question this year’.”
My friend, Muk looked at me thoughtfully. He
drew a bit closer and said, “Well, Rohan, I don’t
say I believe in it, but my cousin said it works.
And there is no harm trying, don’t you think?”
“Trying what?” I asked.
“Well, my cousin said, ‘If you really want
something badly, all you have to do is to run
around a banyan tree at midnight and chant
seventeen times: Unke, Munke, Timpetoo’. ”
I desperately wanted my wish to come true.
Still I asked, “Why seventeen times and why at
midnight ?”
“Don’t ask me,” replied Muk, who was my best
friend. “That is how it is done, I suppose. Why not
try it ? It would not do any harm.”
I thought it was all nonsense. Besides, I couldn’t
think of any banyan tree in our neighbourhood.
There was one in old Mrs Groover’s garden. But
who dared to enter her garden ? Not me ! And not
at midnight! Mrs Groover had been the principal
of our school till last year. One look from her
piercing pale green eyes was enough to silence
bullies like Rinkoo Lal of Class X. I had seen it
happen with my own eyes.
“Forget it,” I said. However, the thought kept
haunting me till the day before my birthday and I
just could not think of anything else.
“Okay,” I said to Muk, “if you come along
with me, I will go to Mrs Groover’s garden tonight.

Q.3) Read the following poem and complete the following activities.
I come from haunts of coot and hern,
I make a sudden sally
And sparkle out among the fern,
To bicker down a valley.
By thirty hills I hurry down,
Or slip between the ridges,
By twenty thorpes, a little town,
An half a hundred bridges.
Till last by Philip’s farm I flow
To join the brimming river,
For men may come and men may go,
But I go on for ever.
I chatter over stony ways,
In little sharps and trebles,
I bubble into eddying bays,
I babble on the pebbles.
With many a curve my banks I fret
By many a field and fallow,
And many a fairy foreland set
With willow-weed and mallow.
I chatter, chatter, as I flow
To join the brimming river,
For men may come and men may go,
But I go on for ever.
