1 CLASS III HOLIDAY HOMEWORK THEME -ANIMALS On the top of mountain, Or under sea, There are so many places Where animals can be. Alone in the desert, Or grouped on a farm, Or tucked in a tree trunk Away from all harm. On a bright, sunny grassland, Or in a dark cave, In jungles and forests, Where all must be brave. On ice in the arctic, Or holed underground, There are so many places, Where ANIMALS Are found.. -Anonymous

2 ENGLISH ACTIVITY I STORY CUBE Let s read this story and do a few activities to gain knowledge and have fun. THE TIGER,THE OWL & THE BRAWL This is a folklore about an owl and a tiger. Earlier the owl did not have a flat face and the tiger had a shiny gold coloured coat. One day, all birds and animals of the forest held a meeting.they chose the tiger as the king of jungle and they also decided that owl should be the minister. Everything was going well.the jungle was ruled with care.there was peace and happiness. Soon the tiger and the owl started showing their true colours. The tiger was rash and rough. He would use all his strength if anyone disagreed with him. The owl was wise, but proud and thought it was better than all other birds. One day, the owl and the tiger had an argument about who was wiser.soon the argument turned into a quarrel and the tiger lost his temper and started making a shrieking and shrilling roar. He slapped the owl so hard that there was a bang and owl s face became flat! The angry bird started yelling and picked up a burning log and struck the tiger with it, leaving long black stripes on its body. Seeing their king and his minister in such a state, the animals and birds decided that lion would be a better king. Ashamed of themselves, the owl and the tiger crept away and decided to hide during the day and come out only at night. Since then owls have a flat face and tigers have black stripes on their body.
