Ans: Lencho does have complete faith in God. The following sentences in the story tell us this.

5. Are there people like Lencho in the real world? What kind of a person would you say he is? You may select appropriate words from the box to answer the questions.
(मोगथां मुलुगाव लेंन्स’ बायदि मानसिफोर दंना ? बिखौ मा रोखोमनि मानसि होनना नों सानगोन ? सोंथिफोरखौ फिननाय होनो थाखाय बाकसुनिफ्राय बानजाथाव सोदोबफोरखौ नों सायख ‘नो हागौ।)

(सल ‘आव मोननै रोखोमनि जुजिलायनाय दं: सुबुं आरो मिथिंगानि गेजेराव आरो सुबुंफोरनि गावसोरनि गेजेरावनो ? बे जुजिलायनायफोरखौ ‘माबोरै बेखेवनाय जादों ?)
Ans: One of the conflicts is illustrated in the form of hail storm destroying Lencho’s crop. Here, the conflict between humans and nature is illustrated obviously. The other conflict is Lencho’s disbelief in the post officials’ honesty. Here con flict between humans themselves is illustrated.
Thinking about Language
l. Look at the following sentence from the story. Suddenly a strong wind began to blow and along with the rain very large hailstones began to fall.
‘Hailstones’ are small balls of ice that fall like rain. A storm in which hailstones fall is a ‘hailstorm’. You know that a storm is bad weather with strong winds, rain, thunder and lightning.
There are different names in different parts of the world for storms, depending on their nature. Can you match the names in the box with their descriptions below, and fill in the blanks? You may use a Dictionary to help you.
| gale, whirlwind, cyclone,” hurricane, tornado, typhoon |
1. A violent tropical storm in which strong winds move in a circle. : – – c – – – –
Ans: A violent tropical storm in which strong winds move in a circle cyclone.
2. An extremely strong wind : – a – –
Ans: An extremely strong wind gale.
3. A violent tropical storm with very strong winds : – – p – – – –
Ans: A violent tropical storm with very strong winds typhoon.
4. A violent storm whose center is a cloud in the shape of a funnel : – – – n – – –
Ans: A violent storm whose center is a cloud in the shape of a funnel tornado.
5. A violent storm with very strong winds, especially in the western Atlantic Ocean : – – r – – – – – –
Ans: A violent storm with very strong winds, especially in the western Atlantic Ocean hurricane.
6. A very strong wind that moves very fast in a spinning movement and causes a lot of damage : – – – – – – – – –
Ans: A very strong wind that moves very fast in a spinning movement and causes a lot of damage whirlwind.
II. Notice how the word ‘hope’ is used in these sentences from the story :
(a) I hope it (the hailstorm) passes quickly.
(b) There was a single hope: help from God.
In the first example, ‘hope’ is a verb which means you wish for something to happen. In the second example it is a noun meaning a chance for something to happen.
Match the sentences in Column A with the meanings of ‘hope’ in Column B.
| A | B |
| 1. Will you get the subjects you want to study in college?I hope so.. | (a) a feeling that something good will probably happen. |
| 2. I hope you don’t mind my saying this, but I don’t like the way you are arguing. | (b) thinking that this would happen (It may or may not have happened.) |
| 3. This discovery will give new hope to HIV/AIDS sufferers. | (c) stopped believing that this good thing would happen. |
| 4. We were hoping against hope that the judges would not notice our mistakes. | (d) wanting something to happen(and thinking it quite possible) |
| 5. I called early in the hope of speaking to her before she went to school. | (c) showing concern that what you say should not offend or disturb the other person; a way of being polite. |
| 6. Just when everybody had given up hope, the fishermen came back, seven days after the cyclone. | (f) wishing for something to happen, although this is very unlikely. |
Ans:
| A | B |
| 1. Will you get the subjects you want to study in college?I hope so. | (a) a feeling that something good will probably happen. |
| 2. I hope you don’t mind my saying this, but I don’t like the way you are arguing. | (b) thinking that this would happen (It may or may not have happened.) |
| 3. This discovery will give new hope to HIV/AIDS sufferers. | (e) showing concern that what you say should not offend or disturb the other person; a way of being polite. |
| 4. We were hoping against hope that the judges would not notice our mistakes. | (f) wishing for something to happen, although this is very unlikely. |
| 5. I called early in the hope of speaking to her be- fore she went to school. | (d) wanting something to happen (and thinking it quite possible) |
| 6. Just when everybody had given up hope, the fishermen came back, seven days after the cyclone. | (c) stopped believing that this good thing would happen. |
lll. Relative Clauses
Look at these sentences
(a) All morning Lencho- who knew his fields intimately – looked at the sky
(b) The woman, who was preparing supper, replied, “yes, God willing.”
The italicized parts of the sentences give us more in formation about Lencho and the woman. We call them relative clauses. Notice that they begin with a relative pronoun who. Other common relative pronouns are whom, whose, and which.
The relative clauses in (a) and (b) above are called non defining, because we already know the identity of the person they describe. Lencho is a particular person, and there is a particular woman he speaks to. We don’t need the information in the relative clause to pick these people out from a larger set.
A non-defining relative clause usually has a comma in front of it and a comma after it (some writers use a dash (-) instead, as in the story). If the relative clause comes at the end, we just put a full stop.
Join the sentences given below using who, whom, whose, which, as suggested.
1. I often go to Mumbai. Mumbai is the commercial capital of India. (which)
Ans: I often go to Mumbai which is the commercial capital of India.
2. My mother is going to host a TV show on cooking. She cooks very well. (who)
Ans: My mother who cooks very well is going to host a TV show on cooking.
3. These sportspersons are going to meet the President. Their performance has been excellent. (whose)
Ans: These sportspersons whose performance has been excellent, are going to meet the president.
4. Lencho prayed to God. His eyes see into our minds. (whose)
Ans: Lencho prayed to God whose eyes see into our minds.
5. This man cheated me. I trusted him. (whom) Sometimes the relative pronoun in a relative clause re mains ‘hidden’. For example, look at the first sentence of the story :
(a) The house the – only one in the entire valley– sat on the crest of a low hill.
We can rewrite this sentence as :
(b) The house – which was the only one in the entire valley– sat on the crest of a low hill.
In (a), the relative pronoun which and the verb was are not present.
Ans: 5. This man whom I trusted cheated me.
lV. Metaphors
The word Metaphor comes from a Greek word meaning ‘transfer’. Metaphors compare two things or ideas; a quality of feature of one thing is transferred to another thing. some common metaphors are
the leg of the table: The leg supports our body, so the object that supports a table is described as a leg.
the heart of the city: The heart is an important organ in the center of our body. So this word is used to describe the central area of a city.
In pairs, find metaphors from the story to complete the table below. Try to say what qualities are being compared. One has been done for you.
| Object | Metaphor | Quality of Feature Compared |
| Cloud | Huge mountains of clouds | |
| Raindrops | ||
| Hailstones | ||
| Locusts | ||
| An epidemic (a disease) that spreads very rapidly and leaves many people dead | ||
| An ox of a man |
Ans:
| Object | Metaphor | Quality of Feature Compared |
| Cloud | Huge mountains of clouds | The mass or ‘hugeness’ of mountains. |
| Raindrops | Coins, New silver coins | Crop and its feeling very good. |
| Hailstones | frozen pearls | destruction of the crop. |
| Locusts | A plague | An epidemic (a discase flot spreads) |
| An ox of a man | An epidemic (a discase) that spreads very rapidly and leaves many people dead | |
| Lencho | his robustness, strength and resoluteness. |
Speaking.
Have you ever ben in great difficulty and felt that only a miracle could help you? How was your problem solved? Speak about this in class with your teacher.
Ans: Yes, once I fell in serious illness. My parents sent for a doctor but as ill luck would have it, the doctor had gone to his native village. There was no other doctor except him because ours was a remote village far away from the town. Finding no alternative way, father went to a village priest and told the matter. He came and chanting abracadabra gave me a cup of water to drink. I drank with a little difficulty. After a while l felt relief and could walk though unsteadily. I was not taken to the hospital due to the miracle.
