I. Read the extracts below and answer the questions that follow:
 
1. Away, away in the Northland,
 
Where the hours of the day are few,
 
And the nights are so long in winter
 
That they cannot sleep them through
 
Where they harness the swift reindeer
 
To the sledges, ‘when it snows;
 
And the children look like bear’s cubs
 
In their funny, furry clothes:
 
(i) Which country does this legend belong to?
 
(ii) How were the days and nights there?
 
(iii) How did the people drive their sledges when it snowed?
 
(iv) How did the children look in their furry clothes?
 
(v) What is the name of the poet of these lines?
 
2. She had a scarlet cap on her head,
 
And that was left the same;
 
But all the rest of her clothes were burned
 
Black as a coal in the flame.
 
And every country schoolboy
 
Has seen her in the wood,
 
Where she lives in the trees till this very day,
 
Boring and boring for food.
 
(i) What has every schoolboy seen?
 
(ii) What does the woodpecker do all day?
 
(iii) Where does she live now?
 
II. Answer the following questions in 30-40 words
 
1. What is a legend? Why is this poem called a legend?
 
Ans. A legend is a popular story from the past which is believed to be true but cannot be verified. It contains a moral which is narrated to the children to teach them moral values.
 
2. Is this a true story? Which part of this poem do you feel is the most important?
 
Ans. It is not a true story. The point of the story where the woman is turned into a woodpecker bird is the most important. This is so because the punishment teaches everyone the lesson to be generous.
 
3. What did Saint Peter ask the old lady for? What was the lady’s reaction?
 
Ans. Saint Peter asked the lady to give him a cake as he was hungry. The lady did not give him a cake out of the ones that she had baked, instead she baked a smaller one for him
 
4. How did St.Peter punish the old lady?
 
Ans. He punished the selfish lady by turning her into a woodpecker bird that had to bore into the dry wood all day to get some food and shelter.
 
5. Do you think that the old lady would have been so ungenerous if she had known who Saint Peter really was? What would she have done then?
 
Ans. If the old lady knew who Saint Peter was, then she would not have been ungenerous. On the other hand, she would have served him well for the fulfilment of her greedy desires.
 
III. Answer the following questions in 120-150 words.
 
1. Which values does the legend of Saint Peter and the little woman teach?
 
Ans:-The legend of Saint Peter and the little woman teaches the values of love, mercy, pity, charity, kindness, and sharing. The tale is based on the moral lesson that human beings must rise above selfishness and agreed to help people in need. They should be ready to share their blessings and joys with others. God is never happy with people whose interests are confined to themselves. It is inhuman to find somebody in need and not provide the required help. The story reveals that those who lack love and empathy and are not charitable will be punished by God or His messengers. If the little woman had shared food with Saint Peter, she would have enjoyed a happy life. But her greed and selfishness resulted in her doom. She was deprived of all human comforts and was converted into a woodpecker who had to lead a life of hardship. (148 words)
