Exercises
Discuss the following topics in groups.
Q1. Why did the wise old bird say, “Chandni is the winner”?
Answer: The wise old bird said that Chandni is the winner because even being weak and small in front of the wolf, she didn’t give up. She gathered all her courage and done a brave fight, She didn’t leave the battlefield like a coward and fought for her freedom, She said to herself that death in an open field is far better than life in a small hut, She stood firm on her legs, head slightly bent and horns jutting out. She was a picture of courage, She looked like a brave soldier ready to fight a treacherous enemy, She died brave in the morning completely soaked in blood.
Q2. “Death in an open field is better than life in a small hut,” Chandni said to herself. Was it the right decision? Give reasons for your answer.
Answer: This statement is the moral of the stoiy. Yet it is difficult to completely agree with it. Life is valuable and so is the freedom. But there can be no freedom without life. So as far as possible one must try to protect one’s freedom. It does not mean that we should knowingly walk to death. Chandni could return to the hut on seeing the wolf. She could have come to the hills next morning. In fact life is like walking on the razor’s edge. One must keep a balance. In order to walk straight you have to bend sometimes on left, sometimes on right.
Q3. Freedom is life. Discuss this with reference to ‘Chandni’ and ‘I Want Something in a Cage’.
Answer: Freedom is life. In the lesson “I Want Something in a Cage”, the strange man frees two doves from the cage. They were set free to enjoy freedom. The strange man, who had spent ten years in jail, knew the value of freedom.
In the chapter “Chandni” too, the struggle is for freedom but it is at the cost of her own life.
