Then she thought, ‘I would like to invite those young people and their parents for a celebration. They’ve all been very kind to me. I would like to invite them for lunch and thank them. If I invited them during a school holiday, they would be able to come.’ So, during the next school holiday, Mrs. Murshed invited Rina, her friends, and their parents to lunch. When Mrs. Rehana Salam heard about her mother’s celebration, she wanted to help. ‘Your grandmother and aunt will have to cook for a lot of people,’ she told Rina. ‘If we went early, we could help them.’ ‘Yes’, agreed Rina. ‘That’s a good idea.’ So Rina and her mother went to Rina’s grandmother’s house early in the morning. On the way they stopped at the market to buy some things. Then they continued their journey by rickshaw. Rina felt very happy and excited.

Fables
Read the following passage and answer the questions given below: Mrs. Ayesha Amin liked to tell stories to her students every month. She told them from memory, because she didn’t like to read to her students from story books. ‘Did Aesop read stories form books?’ Asked Kishan. ‘Oh, no.’ replied Mrs. Amin. ‘If you stand in front of people and read from a book, it’s boring!’ She exclaimed.
All the students liked Mrs. Amin’s stories. ‘What kind of stories did Aesop tell?’ Asked Anwar. ‘Fables,’ replied Mrs. Amin. ‘Do you know what fables are?’ Nobody replied because nobody knew. ‘Well, continued Mrs. Amin. ‘Fable are stories with a message or moral. They help to teach a lesson, like, ‘Work hard, don’t be lazy.’ In fact, that’s the moral of my story this morning. You’ve all helped to make our school better and worked very hard in the school garden. Now we can see the result. My story’s about that.’
‘Was Aesop like a teacher then?’ asked Sarah. ‘Well yes.’ replied Mrs. Amin. ‘He liked to teach people, but he also liked to entertain them. People like being entertained. ‘They learn better when they enjoy themselves.’ Aesop thought, and I agree with him. Stories with a moral help to make us wiser!
