Question 5. Meanings of proverbs are given; discuss them with examples in class:
(1) अक्ल बड़ी या भैंस – शरीर बड़ा होने की अपेक्षा अक्ल बड़ी होती है।
Answer:
Teacher: Ramesh, where is our intellect located? Ramesh: Sir, our intellect is in our brain, which is inside our skull. Our skull is much smaller than a buffalo's, and intellect is even smaller than that. So why is intellect said to be bigger than a buffalo?
A student: Sir, being big in size doesn't make anyone great. A tiny disease-causing germ also makes us sick and forces us to eat bitter medicine. Similarly, intellect is a subtle and invisible power. All this knowledge and science is a product of human intellect. If a buffalo had intellect, why would it be called an 'animal'? Humans have intellect, which is why they domesticate buffaloes and extract their milk. Elephants and lions also come under human control. That's why human intellect is considered greater than a buffalo's.
Teacher: Yes, that's why the proverb says - Is intellect bigger or a buffalo?
(2) आसमान से गिरा खजूर में अटका – To fall into one calamity after another.
Teacher: Gopal, have you ever experienced this proverb?
Gopal: Yes, Sir, once my grandfather fell ill. After admitting him to the hospital, my father returned home to find that my grandmother had suffered a deep cut on her hand and head after slipping in the bathroom. Then, I heard this proverb from his mouth - "Aasman se gira khajur mein atka" (Fallen from the sky, stuck in a date palm).
(3) आये थे हरि भजन को ओटन लगे कपास – To leave an important task and get involved in a trivial one.
Teacher: Dhaval, can you give an example of this proverb?
Dhaval: Why not, Sir, my uncle came from Lucknow to Mumbai to become an actor. He tried a lot, but he didn't get an opportunity in any film. Finally, he had to work as a clerk in an office to earn a living. One day I heard this proverb from his mouth - "Aaye the Hari bhajan ko otan lage kapas" (Came to worship God, but started ginning cotton).
(4) जो गरजते हैं वो बरसते नहीं – Those who boast do not perform any work.
Teacher: Salil, can you give an example of this proverb?
Salil: Sir, there has been a shortage of water in our locality for years. In the last municipal elections, the leader of every party told people that if they were elected, they would ensure a regular and ample supply of water within a few days. Two years have passed since the elections. The winning candidate has not been seen anywhere yet. What would you call this?
Teacher: It's true, those who roar don't pour.
(5) जैसी करनी वैसी भरनी – One reaps what one sows.
Teacher: Suraj, do you believe this proverb to be true?
Suraj: Sir, as I was coming to school, a young man snatched a gold chain from a woman's neck and ran away. When the woman screamed, people caught him and beat him badly. Then they handed him over to the police. Now what should we call this?
Mohan: Jaisi karni, vaisi bharni.
In simple words: This question asks us to understand five common proverbs. For each proverb, its meaning is given, and then a story or a dialogue is shared to explain what the proverb means in real life. These stories help us see how each saying applies to different situations.

Exam Tip: For proverbs, always clearly state the literal meaning first. Then, illustrate it with a short, relevant example or scenario that vividly demonstrates its application, similar to the dialogues provided here.
