1. Read the following poem and do the activities that follow. 5

The Foolish Fish
“Dear mother”, said a little fish,
“Is that a worm I see?
I’m hungry, and I wish
You’d get the worm for me”.
“Sweet innocent”, the mother cried,
And started from her nook,
“That worm you see is there to hide
The sharpness of a hook”.
As I have heard, the little trout
Was young and foolish too,
And presently he ventured out
To learn what might be true.
Around about the worm he played,
With many a longing look,
And “Dear me!” to himself he said,
“I’m sure there is no hook.”
“I think I’ll give one little bite.”
And that was what he did,
And thus he died in hapless plight
By not doing as he was bid.

Title of Movie: Jhola
Director: Yadav Kumar Bhattarai
Producers: Raj Timilsina, Ram Gopal Thapa and Sushil Shah
Starring: Garima Panta, Desh Bhakta Khanal, Sujal Nepal, Laxmi Giri and Deepak Chhetri
Genre: Social
Duration: 90 minutes
Language: Nepali
Release Date: 7 December 2013
‘Jhola’ is a Nepali film based on Krishna Dharawasi’s short story ‘Jhola’. It has depicted
Nepali society about the Sati tradition that was prevalent until the 1920s. The film has
beautifully presented the issue of violence against women. “Has Nepalese society really
passed through such inhuman tradition?” is the question every youngster wonders about.
The plot develops with the death of Garima’s husband in which she has to immolate herself
upon her husband’s death, typically on his funeral pyre. She is supposed to be burnt alive
with the dead body of her husband according to the tradition. However, she escapes the
fire and hides in a cave. The help of her son fascinates the audience.
Almost all the scenes seem realistic and historical. Traditional tools like Dhiki, Janto, Madani,
etc. give traditional in the film. Similarly, traditional lights like Ranko, Diyalo, and fire place
represent ancient environment to the spectators. In addition to the Sati tradition, the movie
also touches Kamara Kamari (a kind of slavery) tradition. What a beautiful cinematography
it is! I think costumes of the artists and leaf music in traditional tunes touch the heart of
every one present in the cinema hall. Garima’s natural appearance, her role and acting are
spellbinding and add to the beauty of movie.
This is a must watch movie. Don’t miss it.

4. Read the following passage and answer the questions given below. 15

Look at any waste garbage dump, in addition to vegetable scraps, paper and broken glass;
you will notice a considerable amount of plastic material such as shampoo bottles, bags,
worn-out slippers, and the like. Vegetable scraps and paper are biodegradable (that can
be made to rot by bacteria), but glass and plastic continue to accumulate and harm the
environment. Plastic is often mistaken for food by birds, animals and fish, leading to their
death. It also chokes drain pipes, and becomes a trap for living beings in ponds, rivers and
oceans. Investigations have been going on for a long time to produce an environment-
friendly plastic in the sense that it decays and becomes a part of the soil like rotting
vegetable scraps do. Scientists of Imperial Chemical Industries at London have been able
to develop just such a plastic, called ‘Biopol’. It is manufactured by microbes. Bottles, films
and fibers can be made out of it. Fungi and bacteria can eat it and break it down into
carbon dioxide and water. This new plastic can also be used to make capsules for slow
release in the body of some types of medicines, and of pesticides in fields.
