Look at the pictures: On page 15 Badal holds the small puppy close to his
chest. On page 16 he asks Maa if the puppy can stay. Then he runs after a
rolling ring, and Moti runs with him. On page 17 Badal is stuck in the deep pit.
Maa, the neighbours and Moti look down from the top, and a rope hangs down
to him.

Let us think — Page 18
A. Answer the following
L E T US T HI NK

A.1 1. Wha did Badal c
t om e across by the side of the road?
Badal came across a puppy. The puppy was shivering in the cold.

− Exp anat on
l i

It was evening, and Badal was coming back from school.

Why he stopped: The little puppy was cold and all alone Badal felt sorry for it
. ,

so he picked it up.

Tip: “Came acrossˮ means found without looking for it. Badal was not looking
for a puppy. He just saw it on his way home.

A.2 2. Wha did Badal a d hi
t n s mot her name the puppy?
They named the puppy Moti .

Badal and his mother chose the name together after she let him keep the puppy
, .

Page 5 of 49

l glish Chapter 2 Badal and Moti A aS m · NCERT So ut ons
gl e l i

Why a name matters: A pet with a name becomes part of the family After that day
. ,

Moti was not just “a puppyˮ. He was theirs.

A.3 3. Wha did Badal fall i ?
t nto

Badal fell into a deep pit.
It was a rainy day. He slipped on the muddy lane and fell in.

− Exp anat on
l i

He was coming home from school. He tried hard, but he could not come out.

Why he could not come out: The pit was deep and its sides were wet and
slippery. A small boy cannot climb up wet mud alone.

A.4 4. How did Moti find Badal ?
Moti found Badal by his smell He caught Badal s scent and followed it to the pit Then he
. ʼ .

started barking and the neighbours came
, .

− Exp anat on
l i

Why the smell helped: A dog s nose is very strong Moti knew Badal s scent
ʼ . ʼ

well, so he could follow it right up to the pit.

Did you know? Dogs can smell much better than people That is why dogs often
.

help people search for someone who is lost.

F — this is false.
Badal lived with his mother, not his grandmother. The story says, “He lived with his mother in a
village.ˮ

lived with. Always check the personʼs name before you mark T or F.

Why she was worried: Badal came home from school at the same time every
day. That day he did not come. A mother worries at once.

This happens at the end The neighbours pulled Badal out with a rope Then Badal hugged and

thanked Moti .

Why he thanked Moti: Moti s barking told everyone where Badal was Without Moti
ʼ . ,

nobody would have found the pit.

B.2 2. D o you ?
have a pet Do you know someone who has a pet ?
Say yes or no first Then say a little more
. .

Sample answer: Yes, we have a cat at home. Her name is Mini. I give her milk every
morning.

− Exp anat on
l i

What a good answer has:
the animal — a dog, a cat, a parrot, a rabbit, a cow;
its name;
one thing you do for it.

Sample answer (no): No, I do not have a pet. But my friend Asha has a dog
called Bhola. He runs to the gate when we come.

Why a pet needs care: Maa told Badal he could keep the puppy only if he
promised to take care of it. A pet cannot feed itself.

B.3 3. If you w r ,
e e allowed to keep any animal as a pet which animal would you choose ?
Why ?
Name one animal Then give one reason
. .

Sample answer: I would choose a dog. A dog is friendly and it keeps the house
safe. I would give it food and water every day, and take it for a walk.

− Exp anat on

How to answer:
 Say, “I would choose a ______ .ˮ
 Say why you like that animal.
 Say one thing you would do for it.

Why your reason matters: The question has two parts — which animal and
why. An answer without a reason is only half done.

Let us learn — Page 19
A. Look at the following words from the lesson: lived · loved · played · gathered · thanked. Notice that all these
words end with ‘edʼ. All these actions have already happened. Add ‘edʼ and write.

L E T US L EA RN

A.1 Add ‘edʼ and write: walk + ed = ______

walk + ed = walked
Your own sentence: Yesterday I walked to school with my sister .

− Exp anat onl i

We add ed to show that the action is over Walk is now Walked is done
. . .

Why we add ‘edʼ: The book shows this on the signboard on page 19  jump +
ed = jumped. The word does not change. We only add ‘edʼ at the end.

A.2 Add ‘edʼ and write: play ______

play + ed = played
This word is in the story too They ate and played together
— “ .ˮ

Why it is ‘playedʼ: Badal and Moti do not play now They played before So the word
. .

takes ‘edʼ.

Your own sentence: We played kho-kho in the ground on Sunday.

l glish Chapter 2 Badal and Moti A aS m · NCERT So ut ons
gl e l i

A.3 Add ‘edʼ and write: talk ______

talk + ed = talked
Why it is easy: We keep the whole word ta and just add ed lk ‘ ʼ — just like walk and
ask.

Your own sentence: I talked to my grandmother on the phone last night.

A.4 Add ‘edʼ and write: ask ______

ask + ed = asked
This word is in the story — “ Can this puppy stay with us, Maa?ˮ asked Badal.

Why it is ‘askedʼ: Badal asked Maa on that evening It is over so we add ed
. , ‘ ʼ.

Your own sentence: My friend asked me for a rubber.

A.5 Add ‘edʼ and write: touch ______

touch + ed = touched
Your own sentence: I touched the puppy s soft ears ʼ .

WORD ADD ‘EDʼ USE IT IN A SENTENCE
walk walked I walked to school.

play played We played together.

talk talked She talked to me.

ask asked Badal asked his mother.

touch touched He touched the puppy.

− Exp anat onl i

Nothing in touch changes We just put ed at the end
. ‘ ʼ .

Why it sounds like ‘touchtʼ: The ed is written the same way every time but we
‘ ʼ ,

say it in different ways — walked and touched sound like ‘tʼ, and gathered
sounds like ‘dʼ.

For parents and teachers (from the Note to the teacher): Try this at home Ask .

the child to think of five things they did yesterday, and say each one with an ‘edʼ
word  I walked, I played, I helped.

A.1 A. Look at the pictures. They show a story of two friends: a pigeon and an ant. But the
p .
ictures are jumbled up Number them to get the correct order to make a story .

The six pictures printed on page 21, in the jumbled order the book prints them. Under each
picture the book prints an empty circle for you to write its number.

Top row: 3, 4, 5 · Bottom row: 1, 2, 6

WHERE THE PICTURE IS WHAT IT SHOWS NUMBER
Bottom row, first The bird sits on a branch near the stream. 1

Bottom row, second The ant is in the water and cries for help. 2

Top row, first The bird drops a leaf into the water. 3

Top row, second The ant sits safely on the leaf. 4

Top row, third A hunter aims at the bird, and the ant bites his hand. 5

Bottom row, third The bird flies away safely. 6

About the book: Here the bird is called a pigeon In part B on page
. 22 it is called a
dove. Both words mean the same kind of bird.

− Exp anat onl i

How to find the order yourself: Look for what must happen first The ant can
.

climb on the leaf only after the bird drops it. So the picture with the leaf in the
beak comes before the picture of the ant on the leaf.

Doves and pigeons belong to the same family of birds.

Tip: Part B on page 22 tells this same story in words. Read it first if you are not
sure of the order.

C. Look at these sentences from the lesson: “Can this puppy stay with us, Maa?ˮ / “Yes beta, but only if you
promise to take care of the puppy.ˮ Add a ? or a . to the following.

C.1 Add a ? or a . to the following:
1. The i e i
sun r s s n t he east ______

The sun rises in the east .
This sentence tells us something It does not ask anything So we put a full stop
. . .

Why a full stop: A sentence that t s ends with a full stop A sentence that as s
ell . k

ends with a question mark.

C.2 Add a ? or a . to the following:
2. Wha i t s your n ma e ______

What is your name ?
This sentence asks something so it takes a question mark
, .

Why a question mark: The sentence begins with W at Words like what who

where, when, why and which usually start a question.

C.3 Add a ? or a . to the following:
3. I like to eat mangoes ______

I like to eat mangoes .

Here you are telling about yourself. Nothing is being asked.

Why a full stop: The sentence gives news about you Such a sentence always ends.

with a full stop.

C.4 Add a ? or a . to the following:
4. May I borrow your English textbook ______

May I borrow your English textbook ?
You are asking someone for permission so it is a question
, .

Why a question mark: The answer to this sentence would be Yes or No If a “ ˮ “ ˮ.

sentence needs an answer, it is a question.

C.5 Add a ? or a . to the following:
5. Brinda and Namrata are good friends ______

Brinda and Namrata are good friends .
This sentence tells us about the two girls It takes a full stop

. .

C.6 Add a ? or a . to the following:
6. Wh e h e a e he e
os s o s r t s ______

Whose shoes are these ?
The sentence begins with Whose and asks who owns the shoes .

Why a question mark: Somebody has to answer it — “ They are mine.ˮ So it is a
question.

− Exp anat onl i

A telling sentence is called a statement. It ends with a full stop ( . ). An asking sentence is
called a question. It ends with a question mark  ? .

Tip from the lesson: Look at the two lines on page 22. Badal asks, “Can this
puppy stay with us, Maa?ˮ — that gets a question mark. Maa tells him, “Yes
beta, but only if you promise to take care of the puppy.ˮ — that gets a full stop.
