one beautiful day. My daughter Kasmira knew how much I love flowers. One day
when she was nine years old, she picked some branches from our neighbour?s
blossoming fruit tree. Realizing she intended to please me, I didn?t scold her, but
chose a different approach. ?these are lovely dear, but do you realize that if you
had left them on the tree, each of these blossoms would have become a cherry ??
?No, they wouldn?t have?, she said firmly? ?Oh, yes, they would have. Each of
these blossoms would have grown into a cherry.? ?Well, okay, mother, if you
insist?, she finally conceded, ?but they were plums last year?.

N. Make a pr?cis of the following passage in not more than 120 words and give
it a suitable title. 10
There are so many lessons one can learn about life from a dog. Imagine this
scenario : it is raining heavily outside and you need to leave for someone?s
house. The dog is up and eager, to go with you. You tell it to stay home. As you
leave, you see it squeezing out through the gap in the doorway. You scold it and
order it back home. Then at every turn you make, you suddenly see it following
you sheepishly at a distance. It follows at the risk of being reprimanded for the
sore reason of being somewhere nearby. How else can we experience so selfless
an instance of love and faithfulness ? We can learn a lifelong lesson from this
sincere warm display of perpetual companionship. Observe the eating habits of
your dog. It does not eat, except when hungry. It does not drink, unless it is
thirsty. It does not gorge itself. It stops eating when it has had enough.
A dog also sets a perfect example of adaptability. If it is moved to a strange
place, it is able to adapt itself to that place and to its thousand peculiarities
without a murmur of complaint. It is able to learn and adapt to a new family?s
ways and customs. It is quick and ready to please. Man, being accustomed to
comfort and wealth will be lost if suddenly stripped of all he is accustomed to. A
dog also teaches us a thing or two about, unselfish love. When a dog knows
death is approaching, it tries, with its last vestige of strength, to crawl away
elsewhere to die, in order to burden its owners no more. A dog does things with
all vigor. However, when there is nothing to do, it lies down and rests. It does not
waste its strength and energy needlessly. Many working people are burning the
candles at both ends. Many suffer nervous breakdowns due to stress. Perhaps,
they should learn to rest like a dog does. A dog above all is truly man?s best
friend.
