Preface

The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009 and National Curriculum
Framework 2005 are two important events that have influenced primary education in our country. In the State of
Maharashtra, too, the curriculum was revised to reflect their guidelines and expectations. We are happy to place this
‘My English Book Four’ based on ‘Primary Education Curriculum 2012’ in your hands.

The RTE Act emphasizes all round development of the child, as also learning through activities, discovery
and exploration in a child-friendly and child-centred manner; making the child free of fear, trauma and anxiety and
helping the child to express views freely. We have tried to design our textbooks so that these principles become a

part of the teaching-learning process.

My English Book Four is meant for use in non-English medium schools. It is prepared in such a way
that any primary teacher will be able to handle English as a subject in the fourth standard. Also, we have taken

into account the environment in which the children are placed and which requires a knowledge of English. The
textbook aims at helping children learn English joyfully through graded and engaging activities. We have tried to
give children a systematic exposure to English so that gradually, they get a grasp of the language. In many places,
we have provided specific instructions to the teachers. They will enable the teachers to deal with English in a non-
traditional manner and will help reduce the burden on the child. Parents and guardians will also find the instructions
useful. The textbook has been prepared in a big size with plenty of colourful illustrations to enhance its visual
appeal for children. We hope that children will enjoy handling this textbook throughout the year.

The English Language Committee and the artist Reshma Barve have taken great pains to prepare this
textbook. A draft of this textbook was reviewed by the panel of English teachers and experts. Their comments and
suggestions were considered carefully while finalising the textbook. The Bureau is grateful to all of them.

We hope that the textbook will receive a warm welcome from students, parents and teachers.

Priya liked sweets.
Her Granny had a jar

full of sweets.
She gave Priya

one sweet at a time.
But Priya wanted more.
Many, many more.

She quickly put her hand in the jar of sweets.
She took one, two, five, ten, many.
But her hand was stuck in the jar.
She could not take it out.
She began to cry.
“Oh, what shall I do ?”
“Let go of the sweets,”

said her Granny.

Priya let go of some sweets.
Still, her hand would not come out.
She let go of some more sweets.
Now there was only one in her hand.
Her hand came out of the jar easily.

She began to smile,
and looked at her Granny.

Granny smiled too. Priya said,
“Now I will take only one at a time !”

Once there was a dear little chicken called Chicken
Licken. She was hopping about under a big tree when a

leaf fell right on her head !

“Oh, no ! Oh, no ! The sky is falling !”
said Chicken Licken and she started to run.

By and by she met Henny Penny.

“Why are you running, Chicken Licken ?”

“The sky is falling, and a piece of it fell right on
my head !”

“Oooooo !” said Henny Penny and she, too,
began to run with Chicken Licken.

By and by they met Cocky Locky.

“Why are you running,
Chicken Licken and
Henny Penny ?”

UNIT 3 35

“The sky is falling ! A piece of it fell right

“Oh dear, oh dear !” said Cocky Locky
and he, too, began to run with them.
By and by they met Ducky Lucky.

“Why are you running,
Chicken Licken,
Henny Penny and
Cocky Locky ?”

“The sky is falling ! A piece of it fell right
on Chicken Licken’s head !”

“Dear me ! Dear me !” said Ducky Lucky
and she, too, began to run with them.
By and by they met Goosey Poosey.
“Why are you running, Chicken
Licken, Henny Penny, Cocky Locky
and Ducky Lucky ?”

“The sky is falling ! A piece of it fell
right on Chicken Licken’s head !”

When Goosey Poosey heard this, she

saying a word.

By and by they met Foxy Loxy.

“Why are you running, Chicken
Licken, Henny Penny, Cocky Locky,
Ducky Lucky and Goosey Poosey ?”

“The sky is falling ! A piece of it fell
right on Chicken Licken’s head !”

Now, Foxy Loxy was a cunning fellow.

“Don’t worry,” he said. “I will take you
all to a safe place.”

He took them all to his cave.“Go
inside my cave and

you will all be safe.” He told them.
So in went Chicken Licken, Henny
Penny, Cocky Locky, Ducky Lucky

and Goosey Poosey.

UNIT 3 “Ha, ha, ha !” Foxy Loxy said,
“You foolish creatures ! I have

caught you all.”
“Help ! help !” Chicken Licken and

her friends began to shout.

Doggie Dear heard their shouts.
He ran to the cave.

“Beware, Foxy Loxy,’’ he shouted,
“Here I come !”

And then ? Then Foxy Loxy began
to run without saying a word.
He ran far away.
