The empty box the book gives you on page 48 for the words “lush forest”. Your drawing goes inside it.
Answer

This is a drawing task. Your own picture is the right answer. But the picture must show what the two words together mean.

What “lush forest” asks for: not one tree — a thick, deep green forest with many trees growing close together.

Put these things in your drawing:

  1. Many tall trees, drawn close, some in front and some behind.
  2. Thick green leaves at the top, so little sky shows through.
  3. Bushes, creepers and green grass on the ground.
  4. Use two or three greens — dark green, light green, yellow-green.
  5. You may add a bird, a deer or a small stream.
Why the word lush changes the picture: “Forest” alone could be dry or bare. Lush tells us it is green, thick and full of healthy plants. That one describing word tells you which colours to pick up.
Check it yourself: Show your picture to a friend without saying anything. If your friend says “green” and “thick”, you have drawn a lush forest.

2. tender grass

The empty box the book gives you on page 48 for the words “tender grass”. Your drawing goes inside it.
Answer

Draw a close-up for this one, not a whole scene.

What “tender grass” asks for: soft, new, light green grass — the kind that has just come up.

Put these things in your drawing:

  1. Short, thin blades of grass, close together.
  2. Bend the tips a little. Tender grass is soft, so it does not stand stiff.
  3. Use light green, not dark green.
  4. Add a drop or two of dew if you like.
  5. You may draw a small hillock behind it, as in the story.
Why tender means light green and short: Tender means soft and young. Old grass grows tall, dry and hard. New grass is short, soft and pale green.
From the story: The hillock “was covered in soft, green grass, which the old stag enjoyed”. (page 43)
Q3.
B. Look at the following words: lush forest, friendly animals, shaded spot, tender grass, healthy food. These words are descriptive words that give us more details about scenes, people and objects. These words are used to make writing more interesting.
Draw the image that comes to your mind when you read the following.
3. healthy food
The drawing box printed beside “healthy food” on page 48healthyfood
The empty box the book gives you on page 48 for the words “healthy food”. Your drawing goes inside it.
Answer

Draw a plate or a thali with good, fresh food on it.

What “healthy food” asks for: food that makes the body strong — not sweets, chips or cold drinks.

Put these things in your drawing:

  1. A round plate or thali in the middle.
  2. Roti or rice, a bowl of dal, and one vegetable.
  3. Some fruit at the side — a banana, an apple, a guava.
  4. A glass of milk or water.
  5. Colour it brightly. Fresh food looks colourful.
Why the stag needed this: The story says, “fresh, healthy food and proper rest would help him to get well soon”. For the stag, healthy food meant tender green grass. For us it means fresh home-cooked food, fruit and milk.
Tip about all three boxes: Each pair here is a describing word + a naming word — lush forest, tender grass, healthy food. The describing word is what decides your picture. Without it you would not know which forest, which grass or which food to draw.
