An Accident

On Monday, I was playing in the school playground with my friends. We

were playing cricket when suddenly, I fell over and hurt my ankle. I
couldn't even stand.
The teacher quickly called my mother, who arrived in just 15 minutes.
She took me to the doctor's clinic, and we didn't have to wait long.
Dr. Ahmed examined my ankle, which was angrily swollen and very
painful. My mother thought I might need an X-ray, but the doctor said it
wasn't necessary; my ankle was definitely not broken. I was relieved that
I didn't have to go to the hospital. The doctor wrapped a tight bandage
around my ankle, and I could hardly walk. I hobbled out of the clinic with
my mother, and she drove me home.
After a few days, I was able to walk again.

 The Clever Boy and the Angry Monkey
On a hot day, a boy walked a long way. He was
tired and wanted to rest, so he stopped under a
mango tree. Feeling hungry, he gazed at the ripe,
yellow mangoes hanging from the tree, causing his
mouth to water.
"Can I reach the mangoes?" he wondered. He
jumped up, but the mangoes were high in the tree,
out of his reach. "I can't reach the fruits," he
thought.
He attempted to climb the tree but soon realized, "I can't climb the tree."
Suddenly, the boy spotted a monkey in the tree and had an idea. He
picked up a stone and threw it at the monkey. The monkey became angry
and retaliated by picking a mango and throwing it at the boy. "Thank
you," the boy said and enjoyed the sweet fruit.
After finishing the tasty mango, the boy craved another. He threw
another stone at the monkey, making it even angrier. The monkey picked
another mango and threw it at the boy. Once again, the boy said, "Thank
you," and savoured the sweet, pulpy fruit.
Desiring yet another mango, the boy threw another stone at the monkey,
but this time the monkey caught the stone and threw it back at the boy.
Oops! This time, the monkey was truly enraged.

 Snakes
Snakes are reptiles. They have no legs but many ribs
that help them to slide along the ground. They have no
ears and no eyelids. Like all other reptiles, they are
cold-blooded. Their temperature is controlled by their
environment and they dislike very hot and very cold
temperatures.
All snakes hunt. Poisonous snakes, such as cobras, poison their prey by
biting them with their fangs. Constrictor snakes, such as pythons, coil
themselves around their prey. Snakes that do not kill their prey by poison
or constricting usually snatch it up and swallow it whole. Their mouths
and jaws will stretch and open very wide.
There are nearly 2500 different types of snakes in the world. Only 200
types of snakes are dangerous enough to kill people. The biggest, most
deadly snake is the king cobra. The puff adder, which inhabits Africa, is
also very dangerous.

Shiny New Balloons

Maria was a little girl who loved balloons, especially helium balloons
because they floated up and touched the ceiling. She would pull the
ribbon, and the balloon would come down, only to float back up. Every
Saturday, her father would buy her a balloon.
On Saturdays, the balloons were very full and
floated high. On Sundays, the balloons still
floated but were not as full. By Monday, the
balloons were no longer full and didn't float
well; they started to sink. On Tuesday, the
balloons didn't float at all; they sat on the
floor.
It made Maria sad when they threw the balloons away. Her father, who
loved to get her balloons, didn't like to see her sad. He had a plan.
The next Saturday, Maria's father didn't buy a balloon. Instead, he bought
an air tank, a big green one labelled "Helium" on the side. Maria watched
her father fill a balloon. The balloon was very full and floated beautifully.
She was happy.
"When the balloon is not full, I will fill it again," her father told her.
"Can I keep my balloon forever?" she asked him.
"Not forever, but for a long time."
"I think I will be happy for a long time," Maria smiled.

below.
1. What does Maria like the most?
2. How is the balloon on Saturday?
3. How is the balloon on Tuesday?

A Lion and a Mouse

A lion was awakened from his sleep by a mouse
running over his face. Rising up in anger, he caught
the mouse and was about to kill it. However, the
mouse interrupted, saying, “If you would only spare
my life, I would be sure to repay your kindness.” The
lion laughed and let the mouse go.
Shortly after this, the lion was caught by some
hunters who bound him with strong ropes to the ground. The mouse,
recognizing the lion's roar, came and gnawed the rope with his teeth,
setting the lion free!
The mouse then told the lion, “You never thought that a small animal like
me would ever be able to help you. You didn’t expect to receive any
repayment of your favour from me. Now you know that even a mouse can
help a lion.”
Use the information in the story to answer the questions given
below.

2. Why did the lion laugh at the mouse?

The Beautiful Butterfly

The butterfly is a flying insect with two wings
and two antennae. They have three main body
parts like all insects: the head, thorax, and
abdomen. Butterflies have a long proboscis, or
tongue, that they use to drink nectar from
plants.
Butterflies come in many different colours and
sizes. The world's smallest butterfly, the blue Pygmy, has a wingspan the
size of a small coin. The world's biggest butterfly, Queen Alexandra's
Birdwing, has a wingspan of 12 inches!
When you see a butterfly, you should take a moment to enjoy it. The
lifespan of most butterflies is only 20 to 40 days. Some butterflies only
live for three to four days.
A butterfly starts out as an egg and grows into a caterpillar. The
caterpillar then forms a hard shell called a chrysalis. Inside the chrysalis,
the caterpillar undergoes a transformation and emerges as a butterfly.
This is a beautiful cycle designed by Allah (SWT).
You can find butterflies anywhere in the world, except for Antarctica.

Hippo
Hippo considered himself the strongest of all the
animals, so he declared that he should be the chief.
However, the other animals didn't want Hippo as
their chief because he was too grumpy and moody.
"I bet I can get you out of the pool, Hippo," called
Monkey. "I bet you can't," grunted Hippo. "I'm the strongest animal in the
world."
"If I can get you out of the pool, then I should be the Chief," said Monkey.
"If you can get me out of the pool, then you can be Chief," agreed Hippo.
"But if I get you into the pool, you will be my servant – forever!"
Off went Monkey to get a strong rope. "Hold tight to the rope," said
Monkey, "but don't pull until I shout." Monkey ran into the trees with the
other end of the rope. All the animals watched as Monkey tied the rope to
a big, strong tree trunk. "Pull!" shouted Monkey. "Pull!" "This will be
easy," thought Hippo to himself. But all day and all night, Hippo pulled,
while Monkey sat, ate bananas, and snoozed. Hippo was getting very tired
and crosses very cross indeed.
"That monkey must be the strongest monkey I've ever known," thought
Hippo.
Slowly, he climbed out of the pool to try to find Monkey. Just as Hippo
took his last foot out of the pool, Monkey ran out of the trees.

 Understanding Colours and the Colour Wheel
Artists use colour to create patterns. Colours can also convey different
moods. Bright colours make us feel happy and energetic, while dark
colours make us feel calm or sad. The primary colours are red, yellow,
and blue; they are the colours that can be mixed together to create
different colours. Mixing two primary colours produces a secondary
colour. The secondary colours are orange, green, and violet (purple).
Orange is made by mixing yellow and red, green by mixing yellow and
blue, and violet by mixing red and blue. Intermediate colours can be
created by mixing a primary colour with a secondary colour. Some
intermediate colours include blue-violet and red-orange. Black, white, and
grey are special colours and are known as neutral colours. Colours have
been organized into a colour wheel, which displays the three primary
colours, the three secondary colours, and the six intermediate colours.
Artists use the colour wheel to help them determine which colours they
want to combine.
Answer the following question based on the reading passage.
1) What kinds of colours make us feel calm?
2) What kind of colours makes us feel like we have lots of energy?
3) What are the primary colours?
4) What are the secondary colours?

Planting Trees is Sadaqa Jariyyah

Trees are our best friends. Trees are older than
humans. It is our moral duty to take care of trees
for our own survival and the survival of birds,
insects, and creatures. Trees serve us in many
ways. We get food, fruits, flowers, seeds, and
medicines from trees. They protect us from the
sizzling heat of the sun under their shade. They supply us with wood to
manufacture furniture. Thus, trees never fail to serve the role of a good
friend. We should not cut trees unreasonably.
