PART B_2
The Lark and Her Young Ones
A Lark made her nest in a field of young wheat. As the days passed, the wheat stalks grew tall and the young birds, too, grew in strength. Then one day, when the ripe golden grain waved in the breeze, the Farmer and his son came into the field.

“This wheat is now ready for reaping,” said the Farmer. “We must call in our neighbors and friends to help us harvest it.”

The young Larks in their nest close by were much frightened, for they knew they would be in great danger if they did not leave the nest before the reapers came. When the Mother Lark returned with food for them, they told her what they had heard.

“Do not be frightened, children,” said the Mother Lark. “If the Farmer said he would call in his neighbors and friends to help him do his work, this wheat will not be reaped for a while yet.”

A few days later, the wheat was so ripe, that when the wind shook the stalks, a hail of wheat grains came rustling down on the young Larks’ heads. “If this wheat is not harvested at once,” said the Farmer, “we shall lose half the crop. We cannot wait any longer for help from our friends. Tomorrow we must set to work, ourselves.”

When the young Larks told their mother what they had heard that day, she said: “Then we must be off at once. When a man decides to do his own work and not depend on any one else, then you may be sure there will be no more delay.”

There was much fluttering and trying out of wings that afternoon, and at sunrise next day, when the Farmer and his son cut down the grain, they found an empty nest.

Self-help is the best help.

PART C_1
Let’s answer comprehension questions. Please answer them based on the story.
PART C_2
1. From whom was the Farmer about to ask help to reap the ripe wheat?
2. What did the young Larks tell their Mother Lark when she came home?
3. What did the Farmer and his son see on the day of the wheat’s harvest?
PART D_1
Let’s discuss the story. Please answer the questions below and express your opinions.
PART D_2
1. How did the Farmer handle the situation?
2. If the Larks and their Mother did not leave their nest, what do you think the Farmer and his son would do?
3. “When a man decides to do his own work and not depend on any one else, then you may be sure there will be no more delay.” Do you agree with this? Why or why not?
4. How do you define self-help?
5. What must we do in order not to depend on others at most times?

The Old Lion
A Lion had grown very old. His teeth were worn away. His limbs could no longer bear him, and the King of Beasts was very pitiful indeed as he lay gasping on the ground, about to die.

Where now his strength and his former graceful beauty?

Now a Boar spied him, and rushing at him, gored him with his yellow tusk. A Bull trampled him with his heavy hoofs. Even a contemptible Ass let fly his heels and brayed his insults in the face of the Lion.

It is cowardly to attack the defenseless, though he be an enemy.
