Students are taught through NCERT books in a number of state board and CBSE Schools. As the chapter comes to an end, there's an exercise provided to help students prepare for evaluation. Students should solve these exercises thoroughly as the questions in the final exam are asked from these. Sometimes, students get stuck in the exercises and are unable to solve all the questions. To help students solve all the questions and continue their studies without a doubt, we have provided step by step NCERT Solutions for the students for all classes. These solutions will further assist students in scoring higher marks with the help of well illustrated answers that will further help the students and answering the questions right.

A:
This weekend I went to my cousin’s place to play. He lives near the stadium. Whole day we played cricket in the stadium with other boys. We knew few of them, and we made many new friends. It was a fun filled day. By the time I reached home in the evening, I was very tired. I had body-ache, so I had dinner and slept early. I can not wait for the next weekend.

(ii) Why everyone should do his/her share of work seriously.

The story “How the Camel got his hump”, starts with the underlying background of “beginning of the world”. Later as the story progresses, the importance of everyone doing his /her work is incorporated in the story. Human beings depend on animals for their everyday requirements.

Q:
There are broadly two categories of workers — those who prefer to do today what they can do tomorrow, and those who prefer to do tomorrow what they can do today. Where do you belong?
A:
In every sphere of life we find these two categories of people, few who finish their work on time and few who delay it without any reason.
I feel I belong to the first category. I like to plan my work, and set a deadline. Setting a deadline helps us finish our work on time. If I finish my work on time, it gives me a sense of satisfaction.
