🌳 Poem: A Sea of Foliage by Toru Dutt
A sea of foliage girds our garden round,
But not a sea of dull unvaried green,
Sharp contrasts of all colours here are seen;
The light-green graceful tamarinds abound
Amid the mango clumps of green profound,
And palms arise, like pillars gray, between;
And o'er the quiet pools the seemuls lean,
Red—red, and startling like a trumpet's sound.
But nothing can be lovelier than the ranges
Of bamboos to the eastward, when the moon
Looks through their gaps, and the white lotus changes
Into a cup of silver. One might swoon
Drunken with beauty then, or gaze and gaze
On a primeval Eden, in amaze.
But not a sea of dull unvaried green,
Sharp contrasts of all colours here are seen;
The light-green graceful tamarinds abound
Amid the mango clumps of green profound,
And palms arise, like pillars gray, between;
And o'er the quiet pools the seemuls lean,
Red—red, and startling like a trumpet's sound.
But nothing can be lovelier than the ranges
Of bamboos to the eastward, when the moon
Looks through their gaps, and the white lotus changes
Into a cup of silver. One might swoon
Drunken with beauty then, or gaze and gaze
On a primeval Eden, in amaze.

💬 Let Us Do These Activities Before We Read
I. Why do we seek advice of the elderly in our family?
Answer: We seek advice from elders because they have more life experience, wisdom, and knowledge. They have faced similar situations and can guide us with their judgement. Their perspective helps us make better decisions and avoid mistakes.
II. Knowledge vs Wisdom (Classify the situations)
🖼️ Observe the Picture
What do you think might have happened? (Describe based on your observation)
Sample Answer: The picture likely shows a group of people or animals in an unusual situation. It could be a conflict, a discovery, or a moment of help. Without seeing the actual picture, we can say that observation helps us infer details, understand emotions, and think critically about what led to that moment.
