The World of Humour Class 7 Question Answer
Question 1.
Do you think the cabman is a good detective? Why?
നിങ്ങൾ ചിന്തിക്കുന്നുണ്ടോ, ആ ക്യാബ് മാൻ ഒരു നല്ല ഡിറ്റക്റ്റീവ് ആയിരുന്നെന്ന്? എന്തു
കൊണ്ട്?
Answer:
I don’t think the cabman is a good detective. He saw the name “Conan Doyle” written on his luggage and that was why he called the writer by his name.
ആ ക്യാബ്മാൻ ഒരു നല്ല ഡിറ്റക്റ്റീവ് ആയിരുന്നില്ല. അയാൾ കൊനൻ ഡോയാണ് തന്റെയടുത്തു വന്നു നിൽക്കുന്നത് എന്ന് മനസ്സിലാക്കിയത് ഡോയ്ലിന്റെ പേര് അദ്ദേഹത്തിന്റെ ലഗേജിനു പുറത്ത് എഴുതിയിട്ടിരുന്നതുകൊണ്ടാണ്.
Question 2.
Who did the conductor put off the train? Why?
ആരെയാണ് കണ്ടക്റ്റർ ട്രെയിനിൽ നിന്നും ഇറക്കിവിട്ടത്? എന്തുകൊണ്ട്?
Answer:
The conductor put off the train an American, who did not want to get down at Dijon. The conductor thought the man he put off was Mark Twain who wanted to be put off at Dijon.
ഒരു അമേരിക്കനെയാണ് കണ്ടക്റ്റർ ഇറക്കിവിട്ടത്. അയാൾ അവിടെ ഇറങ്ങാനുള്ള ആളല്ലായിരുന്നു. പക്ഷേ അയാൾ മാർക്ക് യ്ൻ ആണെന്നു കരുതി കണ്ടക്റ്റർ അയാളെ ഡിഷോണിൽ നിർബന്ധിച്ച് ഇറ ക്കിവിടുകയായിരുന്നു
Question 3.
Why did it take Albert Einstein so long to speak?
എന്തുകൊണ്ടാണ് ആൽബർട്ട് ഐൻസ്റ്റിൻ സംസാരിക്കാൻ വൈകിയത്?
Answer:
It took Albert Einstein so long to speak because everything was right up to the time of supper that day when he found the soup was too hot. So there was no need for him to speak.
അന്നുരാത്രി സൂപ്പുകുടിക്കുന്നതുവരെ എല്ലാ കാര്യങ്ങളും വളരെ ശരിയായിരുന്നു. അന്ന് ആദ്യമാ യാണ് ഒരു പ്രശ്നമുണ്ടാകുന്നത്. സൂപ്പിന് ഭയങ്കര ചൂട്. എല്ലാം ശരിയായി നടന്നിരുന്നതുകൊണ്ട് ഐൻസ്റ്റ് സംസാരിക്കേണ്ട ആവശ്യമില്ലായിരുന്നു.
Question 4.
Do you think everything was alright till Einstein complained about the soup?
സൂപ്പിനെപ്പറ്റി പരാതിപ്പെടുന്നതുവരെ എല്ലം വളരെ ശരിയായിട്ടാണ് നടന്നതെന്ന് നിങ്ങൾ കരുതുന്നുണ്ടോ?
Answer:
I don’t think everything was alright till Einstein complained about the soup. He did not speak because his speaking faculties had not developed properly before that.
ഞാൻ അങ്ങിനെ കരുതുന്നില്ല. അദ്ദേഹം സംസാരിക്കാതിരുന്നത് സംസാരശേഷി വികസിക്കാ അതുകൊണ്ടാണ് എന്നാണ് ഞാൻ വിചാരിക്കുന്നത്.

Do you remember any funny experience in your life? Describe one of them.
Answer:
Once, my parents took me to see an exhibition. I was just seven years old. The exhibition was very interesting to my parents as so many household gadgets were exhibited there. People were explaining how to use them and maintain them and my parents were listening to them with attention. My attention was mainly at the stall where they sold burghers. I slowly moved away from my parents and went near the stall. A family with 4 children came to the stall to buy burghers. I was standing close to the children. The father of the children ordered six burghers. The man in the stall gave him the first one. I was standing near the children. Without looking back, the man put the burgher in my hand. I immediately started munching it. The man in the stall gave him the remaining 5, one by one. The man went on placing them in the hands of his children and his wife. When the man in the stall stopped giving him burghers, the father of the children asked for the 6th burgher. The man in the stall said he had given him 6. It was then his wife told him that he first burgher he took was given to a strange boy who was standing there. She saw the desire in my eyes and she just kept quiet. I enjoyed the burgher.
She was a good woman, wasn’t she?

Answer:
A man was feeling very thin and weak. He went to a doctor and asked him if he could give him something to make him stronger. The doctor examined him and asked him some questions about his food and exercises. After that the doctor gave him a bottle containing pills and told him he should take every day one of those. The man went home.
He tried to open the lid of the bottle. It would not open. He did all he could to open the bottle, but he could not remove the lid. Every day he tried hard, and this was giving him some exercise. He started eating nutritious food and he exercised himself well. After some days, he met the doctor. The doctor asked him if he got any results from the pills he had given him. The man replied, “None at all. Did you know that you can’t get the lid off?”
But the bottle helped him although he could not get the pills. He became stronger because of the exercises and the good food he was eating.

Answer
A girl was complaining that reading the social media all day makes her irritable and angry. So, her mother asked her instead of sitting in the room and looking at the screen of her laptop, she should go out for a change. Outside there are so many nice things to see – the trees and the birds and squirrels on them, different plants, flowers, bees, butterflies, the cattle grazing and the children in the neighbourhood playing different games and so on.
This girl goes out with her laptop and again she opens it. What does she see? She seems the same things which she saw when she as inside the room. Her mother wanted her to close her laptop and go out and enjoy the sights and sounds outside. But she goes with her laptop and looks into it and sees the same things she saw when she was inside. A change of place does not necessarily bring about a change in your attitude.
