New Planet, New School I had a lot of friends back in my old school, on my old planet. When the school year ended, though, my family moved across the galaxy to Planet Zox. Planet Zox has species from so many different planets, just walking down the street can be an adventure. So can going to the grocery store. Actually, I sort of liked my new planet until it was time to start school. "I won't fit in," I complained to my parents that first morning. "Nobody there will be like me." "They don't have to be like you in order to like you," Mom said. It took me a minute to sort out that sentence. Once I got to school, I kept my eye out for other humans. I spotted a few in the halls, but the only one in my class is Swiss Pumpernickel. When I walked in that first day, some of the students started to tease him. "Way to go, Pumpernickel. Looks like you finally got yourself a girlfriend," they said. Swiss Pumpernickel turned red, then glared at me-as if it were my fault for being human! After that, nobody talked to me all morning. I looked for some humans to sit with at lunch, but they were all sitting with other species_. I only found one table with any empty chairs. There, alone, sat one of my classmates, Hululialana. She was so wrapped up in her tentacles, I couldn't find her face. I approached with caution and spoke with great care. "Hello, Hululialana," I said. Slowly, several arms lifted. Then one arm unwound itself, floated toward me through the air, and pulled out the closest chair. I took a seat. "Thank you," I said. We looked at each other, then away. She began to wrap herself up again. "How's your first day going?" I quickly asked. Hululialana shrugged-I think. "I wish I were still at my old school," she said. "Me, too," I said. She looked shocked, and I laughed. "I mean, I wish I were still at my old school," I explained. "At least you're not the only human," Hululialana said. "I'm the only Hulu." I thought for a moment. "That makes you special," I said. "That makes me a freak," she said. "Well, let's be freaks together," I suggested. Then, for the first time, Hululialana smiled. From that day forward, school on Planet Zox has been pretty fun.
Uzzle, the Football Star Uzzle loves football. He plays it at the playground. He even dreams about it at night. One day, he and Jupe see a football helmet in a store window. "If I had that helmet, I would be a star," he says. Uzzle looks at the price. "It costs too much money," he says. "Maybe there is a helmet like that at a thrift store," says Jupe. "Great idea!" says Uzzle. Uzzle and Jupe go to the thrift store. There are cowboy hats. There are baseball caps. But there are no football helmets. They go to another thrift store. There are hard hats. There are top hats. But there are no football helmets. They go to the last thrift store. Uzzle sees a football helmet! Uzzle tries it on. The helmet slips over his eyes. "Does it fit?" asks Jupe. "It is too big, but monster heads grow fast," says Uzzle. Uzzle wears his too-big football helmet. He bumps into walls. He trips on the curb. He tips the helmet to look in the mirror. "I look like a star," he says. He goes to the playground. Jupe is there. "You can't play football in a too-big helmet," she says. "Yes, I can," says Uzzle. But Uzzle can't pass, punt, or kick. Instead, he misses, trips, and falls. Just then, Lurk comes to play football. Uzzle tips his helmet. He sees that Lurk's head is much bigger than his head. "That's a cool helmet," Lurk says. Uzzle thinks. "I wish I had a helmet like that," Lurk says. Uzzle thinks some more. Finally, Uzzle takes off the too-big helmet. "It doesn't fit me, but maybe it will fit you," Uzzle says. Lurk slips it on. "It fits!" he says. "Thank you, Uzzle!" Then Uzzle, Jupe, and Lurk play football. Uzzle can pass agaín. He can punt and kick again. He can even score! "You're a star even without that too-big helmet," says Jupe. "I am?" says Uzzle. "You are," says Lurk in his helmet that is just right!
'Create a quiz based on this lesson: . Tenali Rama was known for his sense of humour. In fact, King Krishnadevaraya used to enjoy his witty remarks even when they were targeted at him. Here is one such story. Scene 1 One day, an Arab horse trader visited the court of King Krishnadevaraya. He had a fine horse for the king. The (Greek/Chinese/Arab/ British) trader visited the court of King Krishnadevaraya King: All of you know that I am very fond of horses. The horses in my stable are the finest indeed! Send the trader in! I always want some rare breeds of horses from across the world to add to my man collection. Trader: Good day, Your Majesty! I have brought one of the finest horses from ArabiaI request you to see the horse. I am sure you will want him for your royal stable. King: This is indeed a magnificent creature! I wish to buy this fine horse. Trader: Your Majesty, I have two more such horses with me in Arabia and it would be my pleasure to bring them to you. Trader: You are really kind and I am sure you will like ader merchant magnificent splendid/superb King: I am so happy to hear that. I agree to buy the other two horses as well Into Trader: l am grateful for your offer and I promise to return with the other two horses within a week's time. Scene 2 Months passed, but there was no sign of the trader. Worried and anxious, the king decided to take a stroll in the garden. There, he spotted Tenali Rama sitting under a tree and scribbling something on a piece of paper. King: What are you writing on this sheet of paper, Rama? Rama: Here is the paper. You can see for yourself. It is the list of names of people who can be called 'very foolish!. Rama showed the paper to the king. It was a list of names with the king's name at the top. King: My name is always on top of the list. I do know that you respect me. On the top of the list was written— 'List of the Biggest Fools in the World! He became furious. King: How can you call your King, 'a fool?' You will have to explain it to me. Rama: lam really sorry that I had to add you as well in the list of fools. How could your Highness trust an unknown Arab horse trader, give him a huge advance, and expect him to return? ' King: What if he really comes back? Rama: If he returns with his horses after taking so much money from you, then I will put his name as the first one. So, he will be on top of the list of fools. The king realized his mistake. His anger slowly gives way to laughter. King: You are really funny, Rama. I was very unhappy, but with your witty remark, you have defused my anger and anxiety. I love your sense of humour. Rama: Dear King, you are so good to everyone! You fail to understand that you should be good to people, but should never trust strangers. The king agreed and they walked back to the palace.
