Seen and Unseen Passage
Exercise 1
In a small village nestled between tall mountains, lived a young boy named Aarav. Every day, Aarav would go to the forest to collect firewood for his family. The forest was dense and full of tall trees that touched the sky. Aarav enjoyed listening to the chirping birds and watching the sunlight filter through the leaves.
One day, as Aarav was gathering wood, he heard a faint sound. Following the sound, he found a small, injured bird lying on the ground. Aarav gently picked up the bird and decided to take it home. He carefully nursed the bird back to health, feeding it and keeping it warm. After a few weeks, the bird was strong enough to fly again. Aarav felt a deep sense of happiness as he watched the bird soar into the sky.

Exercise 2
Short Passage (Class 5 Level)
The Lion and the Mouse
Once upon a time, in a dense jungle, there lived a mighty lion. One day, after having a big meal, the lion fell asleep under a tree. While he was sleeping, a little mouse started playing nearby and accidentally ran across the lion’s face. The lion woke up angrily and caught the mouse with his big paw.
“Please let me go!” squeaked the mouse. “I promise to help you someday if you let me live.”
The lion laughed at the idea of the tiny mouse helping him but decided to let the mouse go. Days later, the lion was caught in a hunter’s net. He roared loudly, but he couldn’t free himself. The mouse heard the lion’s roar and rushed to help. The mouse chewed through the ropes of the net and set the lion free.
The lion was surprised but grateful. “Thank you, little friend,” he said. “You were right—small creatures can do big things.”
