2. FOLKTALE Panchatantra: Two Fish and a Frog no need of unnecessarily getting panicked.” Satabuddhi said, “You Sahsrabuddhi! What you say is correct. There is nothing that accomplished men cannot conquer. Even the great Chanakya had single handedly killed the entire army of Nandas.” Then, Ekabuddhi, the frog, said, “Friends, I am not as learned or brave as you are. The only thing I know is to leave the place where there is an impending danger. So, I and my wife will leave this place tonight itself.” Accordingly, the frog left the lake immediately. Next day, the fshermen arrived early in the morning near the lake. They cast their net and caught a lot of fsh, frogs, crabs, turtles etc. Satabuddhi and Sahasrabuddhi were also caught and killed by the fshermen. Ekbuddhi, who was watching all this from the distance mourned over the death of his foolish and overconfdent friends. Along time ago, two fsh named Sahasrabuddhi and Satabuddhi used to live in a lake. They were friends with a frog whose name was Ekbuddhi. One day, as the three friends were having a good time together, they saw some fshermen near the lake. They were taking amongst themselves about coming to that lake the next day with their nets and catching the fsh. The frog was very disturbed to hear the conversation of the fshermen. Ekbuddhi, the frog asked Sahsrabudhhi, “Dear friend, you just heard about the fshermen’s plan. Now, what should we do? Should we remain in the lake or go somewhere else?” Sahsrabuddhi replied, “Dear Ekbuddhi, you should not be scared by just words. The learned have said: ‘The world is still safe because the dreams of snakes and wicked men never come true’. The fshermen may not even come tomorrow! Even if they do, we will think of something to save you and ourselves. There is are a genius, 1

4. Sam Visits Dubai's Miracle Garden Discover a new place I’m in a garden with around 100 million fowers!! I’m at the Miracle Garden in Dubai, and I have never seen so many fowers in one place!! Located next to Dubai Land in Al Bashra, the garden is spread over 72000 sq.mt and is the largest fower garden in the world. I cannot decide what I like more – the blooming pyramids and igloos, the foral heart archways, or the archways with a ceiling of colorful umbrellas! It’s like an exhibition of glorious botanical art. There are more than 70 varieties fowers here, most of them rare, and new to the Middle East. The garden was built by Al-Ain based Akar Landscaping and Agriculture Company as an outdoor attraction for residents and tourists alike. This place is a major crowd puller, around 30,000 on weekends! This garden is also known for its kilometer long fower wall. I haven’t even mentioned the butterfy garden yet. Would you believe it? Domes full of live, colorful futtering butterfies! Need I say more? The most interesting thing about this garden isn’t the amazing display of fowers though. One would expect a place such as this to consume water and energy on a mas- sive scale. Although by no means a minimal consumer of water and energy, the attrac- tion has a sub-surface irrigation system that recycles waste water via drip irrigation while avoiding evaporation and saving up to 75% of water and energy!

7. comic story Akbar Birbal Back to Square One An astrologer was flaunting his knowledge of the solar system and the earth’s shape. You say that the earth is round in shape, so if one travels in a straight line, then he will come back to the same spot from where he started the journey. Isn’t it? Yes, theoretically, it is correct Alampanah! Why not in real life? Because one will have to cross vast oceans, high mountains and dense forests to keep the path straight. 6

8. Well, that can be taken care of! Sail through the oceans, make tunnels in the mountains and use elephants to cross the forests. No sir, still it is not possible. It will take many years to complete the whole journey. Why? I cannot calculate that! May be a hundred years or more. How many years, tell me? Don’t worry about that. I will ask my courtiers. They have an answer for everything. Impossible to calculate! 1000 days! Around 25 years! Fifty years or less.

9. Everybody said something or the other but Birbal kept quiet. I was just calculating the time required to go round the earth. Birbal, I did not expect you to be so silent. Do you have no answer for this question? Yes, I did! It will take just one day. And did you get the answer? Just one day! Birbal, it is impossible! I wonder how you even came up with that answer. In one day, we will not be able to cross the territories of our own kingdom. It is possible, Alampanah! Provided you travel at the speed of the sun! 8

10. Complete the Story... Sigmund was a very lazy sloth. He spent his days lounging on the branches of a mas- sive tree that was always cool, quiet and shaded. When it came time to look for some food, Sigmund would slooooowly rise and move around. He rarely got hungry, so it didn't matter to him if he took his time. One afternoon, as Sigmund was lounging, he heard a branch snap. He turned his head to see a very large and very hungry snake staring at him... 9
