SPOOF (REMED 1)


A man always went to same bar at the same time every day and asked for two glasses of beer. He drank them and then asked for two more.
            One day the man behind the bar said to him, ‘Why do you always ask for two glasses of beer? Why don’t you get one big glass instead?’ The man answered, ‘Because I do not like  to drink alone.
I drink with my friend. ‘But a few days later the man came in and asked only one beer.
‘Oh,’ said the barman, ‘has your friend died?”‘Oh, no,’ said the man. ‘He is very well. This beer is
 for him. But I have stopped drinking beer. My doctor doesn’t want me to drink any more
 because it is dangerous for me.’

The Fox and the Goat
By an unlucky chance a Fox fell into a deep well from which
he could not get out. A Goat passed by shortly afterwards,
and asked the Fox what he was doing down there. ‘Oh, have
you not heard?’ said the Fox; ‘there is going to be a great
drought, so I jumped down here in order to be sure to have
water by me. Why don’t you come down too?’ The Goat
thought well of this advice, and jumped down into the well.
But the Fox immediately jumped on her back, and by putting
his foot on her long horns managed to jump up to the
edge of the well. ‘Good-bye, friend,’ said the Fox, ‘remember
next time.

MORAL MESSAGE
‘Never trust the advice of a man in difficulties.’

The Bald Man and the Fly
There once was a Bald Man who sat down after work on a
hot summer’s day. A Fly came up and kept buzzing about
his bald pate, stinging him from time to time. The Man
aimed a blow at his little enemy, but his palm came on his
head instead; and again the Fly tormented him. But this
time the Man was wiser, and said: “You will only injure
yourself if you take notice of despicable enemies.”

MORAL MESSAGE

You will only injure yourself if you take
notice of despicable enemies.

The Hart and the Hunter
The Hart was once drinking from a pool and admiring the
noble figure he made there. “Ah,” said he, “where can you
see such noble horns as these, with such antlers! But I
wish I had legs more worthy to bear such a noble crown.
It’s a pity these legs are so slim and slight.” At that
moment a Hunter approached and sent an arrow whistling
after him. Away bounded the Hart, and soon, by the
aid of his nimble legs, was nearly out of sight of the
Hunter. But not noticing where he was going, the Hart
passed under some trees with branches growing low in
which his antlers got caught so that the Hunter had time
to catch up. “Alas! alas!” cried the entangled Hart. “We
often despise what is most useful to us.”

Moral Message
We often despise what is most useful to us.

Wacana ( A )


Forest the oldest and most diverse ecosystem, are important for their products. They also keep soil fertile, ensure the supply of constant water under the ground, regulate the climate and prevent floods.
The leaves which have fallen to the ground become some kind of substance. This substance which is called humus is a fertilizer to the soil. Humus holds rain water during the wet season, stores it and then waters the fields in the dry season.
Thus the fields can produce more crops. For years many people haven't been obeying the government's regulations and have been cutting down the trees excessively. As a result, thousands of hectares of what used to be good forest lands have become waste. These people are not aware that without forest nothing prevents the water will wash away the soil to the river. It may cause floods which will destroy the farmland and villages. For all this reason, the state Minister of Development, Supervision and Environment has consistently been trying to keep on asking our people to stop destroying the forest and conducting the campaign for forest conservation.
