Activity – II Thoughts
Read the passage taken from the story “A Glass of Milk”
Years later, that woman became old and critically ill with an unknown disease. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in specialists to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation. When he realised her and the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Dressed in his doctors gown he went in to see her.
What would be the thoughts of Dr. Howard Kelly when he saw the woman?
Answer:
Isn’t this the woman who gave me a glass of milk when I asked her for some water? Yes, it is she. I remember that day. I was a poor boy. I was selling goods from door to door to pay my way through school. It was a hot day and I felt tired and hungry. I had only a dime in my pocket. I decided to ask for a meal when I went to the next house. But I lost my nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of asking for a meal, I asked her to give me some water. Maybe, she realised I was hungry and so she brought me a large glass of milk. After drinking it, when I asked her how much I had to pay she told me I don’t have to pay anything. She was so kind. Now she is sick and needs treatment. I will treat her and I will not charge her anything. This is my repayment for her kindness to me when I was poor.

“Don’t be panicky, Aman. I am here to help you.” Radha said soothingly. “Just hold my waist with one hand and try to paddle slowly ,, with your feet. I will carry you with me.”
You remember how Radha saved Aman from the river current. This incident appeared in the newspaper next day.
How would be the news report?
Answer:
Ranjit and Aman are brothers and Radha is their cousin. Radha is from a village but the boys live in Delhi. Radha had come to their house to spend the summer vacation. Once, the father of Ranjit and Aman took the three of them to the Yamuna River for a picnic. The boys had also their friends with them. The boys were swimming and enjoying in the river. Radha did not swim because she did not have a swimming suit. But she knew swimming very well as she lived near the banks of the Sarayu River. When Radha saw that Aman was going too close to a big boulder, where the current was very fast, she warned him not to swim there. Not listening to her advice, he swims there and is carried away by the swift current. His life is in danger. Ranjit and the friends scream, but none has the courage to jump into the current and save Aman. Radha jumps into the river and with great difficulty she reaches Aman. She asks him to hold around her waist and paddle with his legs. She and Aman reach the shore safely. The boys were boasting of different styles of swimming- freestyle, butterfly stroke, breast stroke, etc. but it was Radha who did not know all these styles that saved Aman from drowning.
Activity – V Description
You have read the story of Dr. Kelly, haven’t you? It teaches us human qualities like mercy, kindness, love etc.
Describe the personal qualities of Dr. Howard Kelly.
Answer:
Dr. Howard Kelly was a poor boy. He was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school. It was a hot day and he felt tired and hungry. He had only a dime in his pocket. He decided to ask for a meal when he went to the next house. But he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of asking for a meal he asked her to give him some water. Maybe, she realised he was hungry and so she brought him a large glass of milk. After drinking it, when he asked her how much he has to pay she told him he doesn’t have to pay anything.
Kelly remembered her kindness. Later this woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. She was then sent to the big city where Dr. Kelly, the specialist, was called for consultation. When he saw her, he knew it was the woman who had given him a glass of milk when he was a poor boy. He treats her and she is cured. She is worried that she has to pay a huge bill. But Dr. Kelly gets the bill before it is sent to her. He writes on the bill “Paid in full with one glass of milk”. She was happy and she thanked God.
It shows Dr. Kelly never forgot the good deed she had done. Gratitude is a great virtue. From a poor boy he became a specialist doctor but he remembered his old days and the help he had received.
