She says so because people don't bother about listening to the feelings of pain and happiness. Anne didn't find anybody to share her feelings at the times of distress. So, She wanted to write to get everything off of her chest thinking that the paper has more patience than people.

Nelson Mandela in his speech on freedom said this words, "freedom is invisible".
According to him, freedom is invisible. Freedom is an abstract idea. The great Rousseau said,
"Man is born free but everywhere he is in chains"
And Nelson Mandela says the same. Mandela as a child used to be believe he is always free and in everywhere. But as grew up, he felt the chains of oppression.
Freedom can't be seen rather it is felt. It is like the air. Mandela realized not only he was suppressed, barred but also his people were too. Even the oppressor and oppressed both were suffering from the lack of freedom, according to him.

These famous line of Nelson Mandela are very optimistic and inspirational. These lines mean that each human being has the light and fire of goodness in him. This light may remain dormant in his being for some time; but when the need arises for this light of goodness, it becomes lighted and dispels the darkness. This light may remain burning at low intensity, but it never burns out; nor can it be extinguished.

Read the extracts given below and comment on the difference in the nature of help both the characters, of these two stories, received.
a) Suddenly I came out of the clouds and saw two straight lines of lights in front of me. It was a runway! An airport! I was safe! I turned to look for my friend in the black aeroplane but the sky was empty. [The Black Aeroplane]
b) All through the night Lencho thought only of his one hope: the help of God…The following Sunday, at daybreak he began to write a letter…It was nothing less than a letter to God...The following Sunday Lencho came a bit earlier than usual to ask if there was a letter for him…. Lencho showed not the slightest surprise on seeing the money, such was his confidence. [A Letter to God]
Answer
In both the situation they have got the help from an unknown person who did not know them but helped them.
But the first case is slightly different from the second one..
IN first case the person who helped lencho are the Postmaster and office employees that is clear but it is not known to lencho
LENCHO asked help from God but it was the help to lencho by the Postmaster on behalf of God. ALTHOUGH he got what he had demanded but he is not thankful at all, instead he alleged the post office employees as crook...
In situation when the author was trapped between the storm clouds and there was nothing but black everywhere then suddenly he saw another aeroplane coming towards him and He also saw a pilot waving at him to rescue him. He was very thankful to God and did as was guided by the another aeroplane.. Soon he reached the runway. He landed to the airport and he was safe. he started looking for the another airplane and also asked from the woman at the control centre but he was disappointed because her reply was such that there was no other aeroplane seen on the radar because it was a Stormy night.. in this case the author wanted to thank the people who helped him but in spite of his willingness he was unable to thank him but in the first case the people who helped lencho was clearly e in front of him but he did not thanked them at all

`The Tale of Custard the Dragon’ is a whimsical fantasy. Belinda lives alone in her house with four pets, a dog, a cat, a mouse and a dragon named Custard. All other dwellers of the house except Custard, pride themselves on their fearlessness. They mock poor Custard for his timidity. However, when the real danger comes all others run away in a panic except Custard. Only Custard fights ferociously and swallows the pirate. The poem ends ironically. After the danger is past, everyone begins to boast again about their courage. Ironically, Custard who fought like a hero against the pirate agrees that everyone else is braver than he is. So, appearances may be deceptive. And even your merit and real value may not be recognised by your unwilling rivals.

About secret agent Ausable
Ausable was a secret agent. But he did not look like that. Fowler felt sad that Ausable did not look like a secret agent. Ausable had a room on the sixtli and top floor of a French hotel.
Ausable and Fowler together
Ausable was very fat. He spoke French and German. But he had the American accent. Ausable told Fowler that he would be sad. He (Ausable) didn’t look like a spy. Fowler was a writer. He had expected to see strange figures in the night. He also expected to hear the sound of pistols or about drugs in the wine. But it was never so in his case. As against this, Ausable told him that he had no beautiful girls around him. He might feel bored in his company. Saying so Ausable opened the door of his little room for Fowler.f
Max seen with a pistol
After a few moments, Ausable told Fowler that he would see an important paper. Several men and women were after that. This paper could change the course of history. Ausable closed the door. He switched on the light. Fowler saw a man with a small automatic pistol across the room. It was Max. Seeing him Ausable said that he was shocked to see him there. He thought that he was in Berlin.
Ausable confuses Max with balcony
Max was thin and not tall. He looked like a fox. Max told Ausable that he came there for something. It was to take the report about some missiles from him. Ausable sat into an armchair. He told him that he would complain to the management. It would be that someone had entered his room through an ordinary window in the balcony. The balcony should be closed at once. Max reacted saying that he didn’t enter the room from the balcony. He had a passkey. Ausable told him that the balcony was of the next room.
Talk about the report
Max looked at Fowler. He asked him to sit down. Ausable asked Max how he had learned about the report. Max told Ausable he wished he knew how Ausable’s men had obtained the report. He hopqd to get the report back that night. Then there was a knocking at the door.
Deception through police
Fowler jumped at this sudden knocking. Ausable smiled. He told that that was the police. He had told the police about the important paper. It needed extra protection. So the police was there to make everything all right.
Max in the non-existing ‘balcony’
Hearing this, Max got nervous. Ausable asked Max what he would do. If Ausable did not answer the door, the police would enter anyway. The door was unlocked. The police might shoot also as the papers were very important. Max’s face was black with anger. He opened the window and put his leg out into the night. He asked Ausable to send the police back. He would go and wait on the balcony. He also warned that he would shoot and take his chance. (There was no balcony.)
Max drops down
The knocking at the door became louder. Max had his gun cover Ausable and Fowler. He stood there catching the doorframe with his other free hand to support himself. Then he moved his other leg up and over the window sill. The doorknob turned. Max freed himself and dropped to the ‘balcony’. He shrieked sharply. It means he had fallen on the ground.
Waiter’s service inside
The door opened. A waiter stood there with a tray, a bottle and two glasses. He set the tray at the table. He uncorked the bottle and left the room.
How Ausable proves a real secret agent
This amazed Fowler. He asked Ausable about the police. Ausable told him that there was never any police. Fowler asked about the man on the balcony, ie, Max. Ausable told him that he won’t return. In this manner Ausable had outsmarted Max.

The writer was flying his old Dakota aero plane when he saw the black clouds. He was lost in the storm. Suddenly, he saw a black aero plane by his side, which had no lights, on its wings.
The pilot instructed the writer to follow as he had lost the way. He obeyed him like a child. He was very happy to follow him. After some time the pilot of another plane started to land. The writer followed him blindly through the storm and came out of the clouds. He saw the lights of the runway and landed safely.

The chapter, ‘The Making of a Scientist’ is a story about the famous scientist Richard Ebright. Richie as his mother used to call him was a very curious child right from his childhood. He had started collecting butterflies in his childhood and when he was 2 years old, he had already collected all the 25 species found near his hometown. He thought it to be an end of butterfly collection until one day his mother bought him a book named ‘The Travels of Monarch X’. This was a turning point in his life and he got much more interested in dealing with science. He started with tagging butterflies which a task given at the end of the book that his mother bought for him. Then, when he first entered the county science fair with a slide of the frog tissue he lost. Everybody won something but his project did not win any prize. He was sad but also understood that to win, he needed to do real experiments and not just make neat and clean models. Then he wrote down to Dr. Urquhart at the University of Toronto, asking him for ideas to make projects. He stayed busy during his high school, working on the long list sent to him by Dr. Urquhart. Then, for the next year’s fair, he chose the project of looking at the viral disease that killed nearly all the monarch caterpillars every few years. He thought that the reason for this could be a beetle, so he started raising caterpillars in the presence of beetles but could not get any results. So, when he showed his trial experiment at the county science fair, his project won a prize. Then for the next year he made an experiment to show that the viceroy butterflies copied monarchs. This project also made him win prizes. Then he started his research as to the purpose of the 12 golden spots on the back of a monarch pupa. Everybody believed that it was just a design but Dr. Urquhart thought otherwise. Then Ebright and another brilliant science student got together and made a device that could show that the gold spots were responsible for releasing a hormone that was necessary for its growth. With the help of sophisticated instruments at one of the labs, he got a chance to work and found the chemical structure of the hormone in the gold spots. Then, one day, while looking at the photo of the chemical structure, he solved one of the biggest puzzles of life. He came to know how a cell blueprints its DNA. It was a big breakthrough and was published in a magazine. He also had many other interests and also admired his social studies teacher as he was the one who used to give him new ideas. He was good at debating, public speaking and a great canoeist. He never used to win for the sake of winning or for prizes but because he wanted to be the best at whatever he used to do. It is shown in this chapter that with the right amount of curiosity, a bright mind and the will to win for right reasons are the qualities needed to be a scientist. His mother also played a big role in making him what he was as it was she who supported him throughout his journey and bought him the book ‘The Travels of Monarch X’ which aroused his curiosity in the field of science.

The Hundred Dresses Summary
The story is about a quiet and shy girl named Wanda Petronski, a Polish immigrant, who had come to America with her family. She attended school with American children who found her name to be strange and probably, the weirdest in the classroom. This is because they all had easier names. She was poor and was always seen wearing a faded blue dress. Her classmates teased her because she claimed to have a hundred dresses “all lined up” in her closet albeit, always being seen wearing one. The ones who mainly teased her were the two best friends, Peggy and Maddie. Peggy was the most famous girl in school while anyone barely knew Wanda.
Peggy and Maddie used to wait for Wanda before school even if it meant getting late. Maddie, a poor girl herself did not like when Peggy made fun of Wanda. She feared that she could be next. She wanted Peggy to stop making fun of Wanda, but could not summon courage to face her as she feared she’d lose her best friend. However, Peggy’s intention was never to hurt Wanda but she was curious as to why Wanda had to lie that she had a hundred dresses in her closet.
Truth about the same hundred dresses unveiled on the result day of the drawing competition. The room was lined with one hundred drawings portraying different dresses, each so beautiful. That day, she truly had “a hundred dresses all lined up”, but in the classroom. At that moment, Peggy and Maddie, who were awestruck realised the theory of a hundred dresses and felt guilty about having treated her badly

The bus resumed its return journey. There were the same wonderful sights. Valli enjoyed the scene again. But suddenly she saw a young cow lying dead, by the roadside. It had been struck by a fast moving vehicle. She asked the conductor if it was the same cow they saw earlier. The conductor nodded. Valli became tad. It had been a lovable, beautiful creature just a little ago. But now the cow was without its charm and its life. The bus moved on. The memory of the dead cow haunted Valli. She no longer wanted to see out of the window. She kept sitting on her seat until her village came. She got down and wished the conductor to see him. The conductor smiled. He told Valli that whenever she felt like riding the bus she could come and join them.

Trees are our friends.they breathe in carbon dioxide and breath out oxygen. Trees purify the air and make the environment clean and pure.
People always go for picnics to places where there are many trees., so they can enjoy the shade. Especially in summers, it is so very refreshing to sit in in the shade of trees and enjoy the cool breeze.
Trees are useful to us in other ways too. They give us Timber which we use to make our furniture and as firewood. We use timber to build our houses too and we use wood pulpto make paper.
Trees provide us with useful medicines. We get gum from trees and also fruits and vegetables. We get flowers from trees as well as spices.
We should grow trees and plants around our houses and in parks and gardens and also in the open spaces in cities and towns.
School children should be encouraged to plant trees. They can do it either in the school premises or around their houses . They government encourages social forestry. Subsidies are given to those who plant trees.
The festival of "Van Mahotsav" is held every year to encourage people to plant more trees. Trees check environmental pollution. Many social workers have tried and are trying to awaken the conscience of people to the need for more trees.
Do not cut down trees. Rather, plant more and more trees. If each one planted one tree, there would be so many trees today, sufficient enough for us to breath normally

Good Health
By Rani
Health is "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease" according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Physical is about the body. Mental is about how people think and feel. Social talks about how people live with other people. It is about family, work, school, and friends
Physical fitness refers to good body health. It is dependent on genetic determinators and also on social, economic and ecological factors. That means, one´s genes are partly responsible for one´s physical health, but also other circumstances: where you live, how clean or polluted your water and the air around you is and also how good your social and medical system is. It is also the result of regular exercise, proper diet and nutrition, and proper rest for physical recovery. A person who is physically fit will be able to walk or run without getting breathless and they will be able to carry out the activities of everyday living and not need help. How much each person can do will depend on their age and whether they are a man or woman. A physically fit person usually has a normal weight for their height. The relation between their height and weight is called their Body Mass Index. A taller person can be heavier and still be fit. If a person is too heavy or too thin for their height it may affect their health.[3]
Mental health refers to a person's emotional and psychological well-being. "A state of emotional and psychological well-being in which an individual is able to use his or her thinking and emotional (feeling) abilities, function in society, and meet the ordinary demands of everyday life."
One way to think about mental health is by looking at how well a person functions. Feeling capable and efficient; being able to handle normal levels of stress, have good friends and family, and lead an independent life; and being able to "bounce back," or recover from hardships, are all signs of mental health.
Public health refers to trying to stop a disease that is unhealthy to the community, and does not help in long life or promote your health.
It is about the health of many people, or everybody, rather than one person. Public health stops instead of encouraging a disease through surveillance of cases. To prevent being sick, it is good to act according to some simple advice: Hand washing, regular check-ups, vaccination programmes, drinking clean water and using condoms. When infectious diseases break out, washing hands for about 30 seconds may be especially important. Sometimes it is necessary to avoid masses of people or wear a surgical mask to protect yourself and to stop the spreading of the disease. Teaching people how to live healthily and educate them, especially about *** and child-birth, is also very important.
