NCERT Book Class 4 EVS Chapter 4 A Story of Amrita

This is a true story from long long ago. Almost three hundred
years ago, in a village called Khejadli, lived Amrita. Khejadli village
is near Jodhpur in Rajasthan. The village got its name because of
the many Khejadi trees that grew there.
The people of this village took great care of the plants, trees
and animals. Goats, deer, hares and peacocks roamed fearlessly
there. The people of the village remembered what their elders
used to tell them. They used to say, “Agar perh hain to hum hain.
Plants and animals can survive without us, but we can not survive
without them.”

For the teacher: Encourage children to locate Rajasthan on the map
of India.
