Unit 11 Safety (Activity 1)


You are growing up and it is time to think about how to look after your body and stay safe. First of all, you must be safe at home. Most


accidents happen at home. For example, boiling water and fires can burn you. How can you stay safe from fires? Secondly, you must be safe on the road. You


must watch and listen carefully when you are walking near cars or crossing the road. How can you stay safe around cars and taxis? Thirdly, you must be safe emotionally. You


must feel good about yourself and respect other people. How can you stay safe from bad feelings and worries? Last of all, you must stay safe from other


people. Think about children who do naughty and dangerous things. How can you be strong and safe from bad friends?


Unit 12


Lion and Tiger (Activity 1) from Aesop’s Fables


Lion and Tiger had grown up together. The wise man who lived in the forest had found them as cubs and raised them as friends. Tiger grew up as tigers do and he felt at home


among the forest shadows. There he grew brave and fierce. Lion grew up as lions do and he felt at home on


the sunlit plain. There, among the waving grass, he grew sleek and strong. Each evening, Lion and Tiger would meet by the


wise man’s house. “Look,” said Lion one twilight. “The thin moon


is growing rounder day by day. That means cooler weather.” “Ridiculous,” grumbled Tiger. Two weeks went by: the weather was


sometimes cool and sometimes warm. “Now look,” said Tiger. “The round moon is


getting thinner day by day. That means cooler weather. I’m right.” “No, you’re wrong.” The wise man came to find out what the


bickering was about. First he listened to Lion and then to Tiger. At


last he put his finger to his lips. “I have watched the weather for many years,”


he said. “The moon changes as it will. The weather


changes as it will. One thing should never change: friendship.”

Unit 15


The raven’s beautiful cloth (Activity 1) by Eugie Foster


Everyone in the village knew that although Binbou was poor, he often gave money to people who were even poorer. Everyone except his brothers thought he was kind and generous. They thought he was foolish and would never find a wife. One cold winter’s day he brought home a sick


raven and cared for it. The next day the bird was gone. Later that day a beautiful woman called Karasu knocked on his door. She said she had come to be his wife. They fell in love and got married. When Binbou’s brothers saw Karasu they were


filled with envy. They said Binbou would lose her because he was poor. Karasu learnt that Binbou was unhappy because


he could not give her expensive things. The next day, she gave him a beautiful piece of woven material to sell. He noticed she was very tired and didn’t look so beautiful but he still loved her. The brothers thought this was suspicious. The


next time Karasu offered to help Binbou, they sent him to see what she was doing although he had promised Karasu he wouldn’t follow her. Instead of his wife, he saw the raven he’d saved, weaving cloth from its feathers. The poor bird was quite bald. Binbou gasped when he realised his wife was


the raven. Karasu heard him. “Oh Binbou! We could have been happy


together, but there can be no happiness in a house of broken promises and distrust,” she said, then rose into the air and flew away. Binbou never saw her again. All his life Binbou kept the halfwoven cloth and remembered his lost love.
