CREATIVE WRITING

Class - 4

A.  Reading Comprehension :

      I.            Read the passage and answer :

I was very scared of street dogs in the past. I used to run away on their sight as a chill ran down my spine. One day, on my way back home, I saw a lady who was feeding the dogs on the road. I was surprised to see her care and affection for these animals. I couldn’t stop myself from asking her why she cared so much for street dogs. She calmly stated her reason—to serve God because he makes all creatures. She also gave me many tips for getting friendly with the street dogs. She told me that we should not try to touch the animal until it invites us. She also suggested that we must build trust by speaking in low soothing tones, avoiding direct eye contact and by offering it food. She also told me that she had put plastic bowls outside her house for water and food. If they are provided for on a regular basis, they become friends. Then they will not attack us, rather

Love us. She told me that they bark at us because they are themselves afraid of us. Now when I go out and see anyone ill-treating animals, or scared of animals, I pass on the secret of getting friendly with them. I followed the suggestions given by that lady and now when the dogs see me, they wag their tails with love. Let us extend our care and affection to everyone around us. At the end of the day, all living beings are God’s creation.
