When summer came, the gardener had to water the plants every day without missing them. So, he did not get any holiday. But, he knew that if he took even one day off, the plants would not get any water and would dry up. Whenever he approached his employer to give him a day off, he said, “I do not see anyone else doing your work. So tell me, who will water the plants if you take a day off? I cannot give you a holiday knowing there is no one else to water my plants.”

Question 2.
(A) Attempt the character sketch of the landlord from the story above (Question 1).
Answer:
A The landlord was very rich. He had a big garden at the border of a forest. That garden was very special
to him. Since the garden was very big, he could not take care of it. Therefore, he hired a gardener to take care of his garden. The gardener was very loyal to his employer. In the summer, the gardener had to water the plants every day. He did not get any holiday. Whenever he approached the landlord for a day off, the landlord refused to grant him leave saying that if he gave him a day off, there would be nobody to water the pants and they would dry up. Using this as an excuse the landlord refused to give the loyal gardener even a day off. It shows he was a cruel and unsympathetic landlord, who did not want to show any sympathy for the poor gardener.

S.N. SCHOOL, IRINJALAKUDA Social Club 10 September 2025 NOTICE One of the biggest problems the teenagers face today is their tendency to use psychedelic drugs. Anti Social elements and greedy persons tempt the young people to use these dangerous drugs telling them that they will bring them joy and freedom from all worries. Youngsters who are naturally curious want to know the truth and they start experimenting with small doses. Soon they get addicted and to find money to get their dose, they start stealing and doing all sorts of criminal activities. To prevent our youngsters from falling into this dangerous situation, the Social Club of this School is organizing an Awareness Campaign to let the youngsters know the dangers of drug addiction. The Campaign starts with a meeting presided by the President of our Parents-Teachers’Association. The Circle Inspector of Police, Irinjalakuda, will also speak on the occasion. Venue: School Auditorium All are invited. Sd |

Manu : You are really lucky to have such a loving mother. My mother hardly comes to my room. Since she goes to work in the school, she hardly finds time to help me in tidying up the room I am also a bit careless and so my room looks very clumsy.
