NCERT Book Class 4 EVS Chapter 24 Home and Abroad

Today, there was a lot of activity at Maalu’s house. Chittappan
and his family were coming home after five years. Five years
ago Chittappan had got a job in the capital city of United Arab
Emirates (UAE) called Abu Dhabi. Since then he had lived there.
Maalu and her Appa went to the airport to receive them.
After the plane landed, the passengers had to wait for some
time to collect their luggage. At last Chittappan, Kunjamma and
their two children could be seen coming out. “How big Shanta
and Sashi have grown,” Appa said.
Soon the many suitcases and bags were fitted into the taxi
and everyone was on the way to Maalu’s house.
“Shanta, you must be very tired after your long journey, Appa
told me that Abu Dhabi is far from India,” said Maalu.

For the teacher: Chittappan – Father’s younger brother in Malayalam.
