Question 1:
Why does the poet say the squirrel “wore a question mark for the tail”? Draw a squirrel, or find a picture of a squirrel sitting on the ground. How would you describe its tail?
Answer:
The poet says that the squirrel wore a question mark for its tail because the shape of a squirrel’s tail resembles a question mark.
Question 2:
Do we usually say that an animal ‘Wears’ a tail? What do we say? (Think: Does an animal wear a coat? Consult a dictionary if you like, and find out how ‘wear’ is used in different ways.)
Answer:
Usually, it is said that an animal ‘has’ a tail. The poet has used ‘wore’ in the poem in order to make an image of what he saw. This is an example of imagery.
The use of the word ‘wear’ in different situations can be shown with the help of the following sentences:
My friend was wearing yellow on Sunday.
Our Science teacher always wears a smile.
Movie stars wear their hair in different ways.
Question 3:
“He liked to tease and play”. Who is teasing whom? How?
Answer:
The squirrel is teasing the poet and his friends. When they ran around its tree, it went the other way.

Ravi gets milk for the kitten cleverly from the kitchen by pretending that he is hungry. In order to prove that he indeed was hungry, he had to drink most of the milk. He would leave some milk in the tumbler and empty it in the coconut shell kept in the backyard.

The king was pretty sure that Gopal could do the impossible possible and therefore threw such a challenge. Gopal on the other hand, accepted the challenge because flattering his majesty was the only thing he looked forward to. He dressed ridiculously and came all the way from market to court without people being talked about hilsa fish. And even when the king didn’t find his courtiers talking about it, he accepted Gopal’s victory. When Gopal reminded him of his challenge and proved that he had fulfilled it the king was surprised and burst into laughter.

SP of 10 pencils=CP of 11 pencils
Let CP of each pencil be rs.1
So, CP of 10 pencils=rs.10
SP of 10 pencils=rs.11
SP is greater than CP
So, there is a profit.
Profit=11-10=rs.1
Profit per cent= (1/10*100)per cent=10 per cent

The simple present tense uses the same verb form as the root form of the verb. We use the simple present tense in the following conditions:
- To show a fact or something that is always true
- For activities that we do daily -regularly or habitually
- To express thoughts, feelings, opinions and beliefs
- For a planned action or an event that will happen in the future
- We use this tense with a few adverbs to indicate something that happens rarely
- We use it in news, reported speech such as in sports commentaries, a narration of books and stories etc
- For schedules, plans and programmes
