2ND GRADE : ENGLISH : FISHING FOR THE MOON

Once upon a time , a lovely traveller came to a small lake.

 There he saw a crowd of people. Men and women, boys and 

 girls ,all had gathered near the lake . Everybody was greatly

 excited. Everyone had something in his or her hand - rakes,

 spades or ropes.

 "What is happening here ?" the traveller asked an old man.

 "The moon is drowning in the lake , and we are trying to save

 it," said the old man.

 The traveller stood there and watched the people trying to fish 

 the moon out of the lake. "Here it is ," shouted one tall man.

 "No, it is over here,"shouted a short fat woman.

 "Can't you see?" called a boy several feet away."The moon is

 over here."

 They were shouting from every direction. Soon there was a 

 terrible quarrel.

 Finally, a little girl pointing upward and said loudly,"Look,

 there is the moon up there."

 The traveller said to himself ,"How silly they are! and went on

 his way.

English Story :Gulliver In Lilliput

 Gulliver was a great sea lover. He lived in England with his wife and children. Although he was a physician, yet his love for the sea often led him to long sea voyages In the year 1712, during one such voyage, his ship named " The Antelope " was wrecked being caught in a violent storm. Gulliver , not seeing any fellow sailor around, had no choice but to move alone where the destiny would take him. Floating day and night on a broken piece  of the wrecked ship, he reached a lonely island. Exhausted with constant labour, he fell fast asleep. When Gulliver came out of his slumber, he was feeling quite hungry. To fetch himself with something to eat, he tried to get up but he couldn't. 'Oh Good! Why can't I move myself?' said Gulliver to himself. As he looked around, he discovered that he was fastened tightly with many fibre ropes from head to toe. Suddenly, he saw some mini creatures crawling on his legs and hands. Some of them even climbed his chest. Gullive
