And as she resumed her storytelling in the village square, she wove tales of bravery and wonder inspired by her time in the magical realm, captivating the hearts of all who listened.Question:What is the main theme of the story, and how does Mei's journey reflect this theme?

Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there was a small village nestled in the heart of a dense forest. The villagers lived in harmony with nature, and their lives were peaceful and serene. However, their tranquility was often disrupted by a mischievous monkey named Momo. Momo was known for his playful antics. He would often steal fruits from the villagers' gardens, play tricks on the children, and create a ruckus in the village. Despite his mischief, the villagers loved Momo for his lively spirit and infectious laughter. One day, a group of bandits decided to attack the village. They had heard about the prosperity of the village and wanted to steal their wealth. The villagers were terrified and didn't know what to do. Momo, who was watching everything from a tree, decided to help the villagers. He quickly swung from tree to tree, gathering all the monkeys in the forest. He explained the situation to them and devised a plan to scare away the bandits. As the bandits approached the village, they were met with a barrage of coconuts thrown by the monkeys. The bandits were taken by surprise and ran away in fear, leaving the village and its wealth untouched. The villagers were overjoyed and thanked Momo and his friends for their bravery. From that day forward, Momo was not just a mischievous monkey, but a hero in the eyes of the villagers. And so, the story of Momo teaches us that even the smallest creatures can make a big difference when they stand up for what is right. translate it to Bangla

excerpt adapted from The School Days of an Indian Girlfrom American Indian Storiesby Zitkala-Sa (Gertrude Simmons Bonnin)There were eight in our party of bronzed children who were going East with the missionaries. Among us were three young braves, two tall girls, and we three little ones, Judéwin, Thowin, and I.We had been very impatient to start on our journey to the Red Apple Country, which, we were told, lay a little beyond the great circular horizon of the Western prairie. Under a sky of rosy apples we dreamt of roaming as freely and happily as we had chased the cloud shadows on the Dakota plains. We had anticipated much pleasure from a ride on the iron horse, but the throngs of staring palefaces disturbed and troubled us.On the train, fair women, with tottering babies on each arm, stopped their haste and scrutinized the children of absent mothers. Large men, with heavy bundles in their hands, halted near by, and riveted their glassy blue eyes upon us.I sank deep into the corner of my seat, for I resented being watched. Directly in front of me, children who were no larger than I hung themselves upon the backs of their seats, with their bold white faces toward me. Sometimes they took their forefingers out of their mouths and pointed at my moccasined feet. Their mothers, instead of reproving such rude curiosity, looked closely at me, and attracted their children's further notice to my blanket. This embarrassed me, and kept me constantly on the verge of tears.I sat perfectly still, with my eyes downcast, daring only now and then to shoot long glances around me. Chancing to turn to the window at my side, I was quite breathless upon seeing one familiar object. It was the telegraph pole which strode by at short paces. Very near my mother's dwelling, along the edge of a road thickly bordered with wild sunflowers, some poles like these had been planted by white men. Often I had stopped, on my way down the road, to hold my ear against the pole, and, hearing its low moaning, I used to wonder what the paleface had done to hurt it. Now I sat watching for each pole that glided by to be the last one.In this way I had forgotten my uncomfortable surroundings, when I heard one of my comrades call out my name. I saw the missionary standing very near, tossing candies and gums into our midst. This amused us all, and we tried to see who could catch the most of the sweetmeats. Though we rode several days inside of the iron horse, I do not recall a single thing about our luncheons.It was night when we reached the school grounds. The lights from the windows of the large buildings fell upon some of the icicled trees that stood beneath them. We were led toward an open door, where the brightness of the lights within flooded out over the heads of the excited palefaces who blocked our way. My body trembled more from fear than from the snow I trod upon.29Select the correct answer from the drop-down menu.Read the excerpt.

Kanu MountainWhen the mist swept in from above the ridge, Sal lost sight of the path she was following. A mild panic set in. She would wait for the mist to clear. She called out to Yazi ... Silence. She was now regretting taking the steep route and leaving her friend behind. But the lure of the summit was just so tempting. Tempting, that was, until she heard the loud howling.The children in the village had warned Sal about the Blind Beast of Kanu. It supposedly lived in a cave on the mountain. "It will sniff you out. It will lick you with its tongue. And if you move, it will eat you!" they had sniggered. But Sal knew this was nothing more than a foolish tale, the sort of rubbish that could be found in silly old children's stories. And she would climb the mountain to prove it. And she would make Yazi come with her, just in case.The first part of the climb had been free of drama. With their pockets full of snacks they had set off in bright sunlight and had made good progress. But by lunchtime it all changed. The wind picked up and the light rain had made the rocks slippery. Yazi had begun to struggle - perhaps it was all the extra stuff that was slowing her down: water, food, blanket, torch, hat, extra water, extra food, extra blanket ... Yazi was such a worrier, she would never need those things."Come on," cried Sal, "we need to get to the summit before it starts to pour down." And with that she had taken the steep route, hoping her friend would follow. Then she put her head down and forged ahead, and forgot all about Yazi until the eerie mist and the ear-piercing howling.When the mist cleared, the rain came. So when Sal saw a small crack in a rock face, she rushed straight for it. She squeezed through the crack and it opened up to a large, dark cave. But what was that noise? There was something moving in the darkness. Sal's heart thumped and thudded. Was this the home of the Blind Beast of Kanu? Sal dared not move. Not even a twitch.Then there was a light. It came from a torch. "What took you so long?" asked a familiar voice. "Come and sit down here, out of that howling wind. I've got a spare blanket for you if you're cold." Question promptWhich word best describes Yazi?Question response areaSelect one optionlazysensiblerecklesshumorousNextBack
