QUESTION BANK CLASS VII
A.1 Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
Once upon a time there lived a crow couple, who had built a nest on the top of a Banyan tree. But unfortunately the tree was inhabited by a snake at its bottom. So the snake used to crawl up the tree and eat all the eggs that the lady crow used to lay. The crow couple were deeply sad and when this happened time after time, then they decided to get rid of t
he snake by hitting upon a plan. So the crow then approached his friend the jackal and asked for a plan. The jackal then told him to go and fetch a costly thing from the palace of the king and throw the thing in the burrow of the snake. The crow went to palace, and stole a necklace of the queen while she was bathing. The guards of the palace ran after it. The crow then dropped the necklace in the burrow of the snake beneath the tree.
The guards on reaching the bottom of the tree, found the necklace guarded by the serpent. Then they killed the snake and recovered the necklace. So the crow family was now happy that their eggs were safe now.

LEARNING FROM NATURE
Look at the birds O children dear,
And learn to be carefree
Look at the flowers little ones!
And laugh and live in joy
From the deer you can learn to skip
And learn to sing from the birds
Watch the sky, and learn to draw
A hundred scenes from the clouds.
Look at the trees, O children dear!
And learn to serve always.
Look at the mountains and the streams
And learn to face the storms.
God has made this lovely world
For you to see and learn
Like the sun you have to shine
And brighten other’s lives.
Beat the drum, O little drummer!
