Taro\u2019s Reward Speaking and writing<\/strong><\/p>\nA. Encourage the students to say the tongue-twisters aloud and then learn them by heart.<\/p>\n
B. Question 1. The story \u2018Taro\u2019s Reward\u2019 shows that Taro is thoughtful, hardworking and also wise. Read aloud the parts of story that show these qualities in Taro. \n(Encourage the students to read the parts of the story that they find interesting.)<\/p>\n
Question 2. \ni. Like Patrick in the story \u2018Who Did Patrick\u2019s Homework\u2019, Taro is helped by magic. Do you believe in magic? What are the magical things that happen in these stories? \n(Encourage the students to come up with interesting answers.) \nAnswer: \nNo, I do not always believe in magic because I mostly believe in logic and science. In the story, \u2018Who Did Patrick\u2019s Homework?\u2019 the element of magic is the elf who helps Patrick do all homework. And in the story, \u2018Taro\u2019s Rewards\u2019, Taro comes across a waterfall that gives him the delicious magical sake.<\/p>\n
ii. Which story do you like better, and why? Do you know such stories in other languages? Discuss these questions in class. (Encourage the students to come up with their individual answers and have an animated discussion in class.) \nAnswer: \nPersonally, I liked the story \u2018Taro\u2019s Rewards\u2019 better because it teaches the values of selflessness and love. It also shows that hard work is rewarded sooner or later. I have heard many such stories with similar themes, which are quite often Japanese or Chinese.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Question 3. \nNow write a paragraph or two about these two stories, comparing them. \nAnswer: \nThe first story \u2018Who Did Patrick\u2019s Homework?\u2019 is about a boy called Patrick who saves the life of an elf from a cat. The elf grants him a wish in return. Patrick wishes that the elf should do all his homework till the end of semester.<\/p>\n
But in the end, it is Patrick who ends up doing all the work, as the elf does not have any idea about how to do homework. In this way, Patrick changes into a hardworking and cheerful student. The story teaches us . that there is no substitute for hard work, not even magic.<\/p>\n
The second story \u2018Taro\u2019s Rewards\u2019 is about a young, hardworking woodcutter who wants to keep his parents happy and help them live comfortably. In this bid, he goes to the forest to chop more and more wood in the forest. Just when he is completely tired, he hears the sound of a waterfall. He soon realizes that it is a magical waterfall, and it gives sake instead of water.<\/p>\n
He is happy to take the sake to his parents, who are delighted to have it. But the waterfall only gives sake to someone as selfless as Taro; to everyone else, the magical waterfall only bestows plain water.<\/p>\n
The Emperor honours Taro\u2019s qualities by naming a fountain after him and sending him gold. In this way, Taro\u2019s considerate and thoughtful acts are rewarded. The story demonstrates that love leads to magic and great rewards. The power of love is unquestionable and extraordinary.<\/p>\n

C. Question 1. Listen to these children. What are they talking about? \n(Encourage the students to come up with their individual answers.)<\/p>\n
Question 2. \nWork in groups. Come to some agreement on each of the activities given below. Decide which is the most interesting, dullest, most dangerous, safest, most rewarding, most exciting. \nAnswer: \nTo me, the most interesting activities to do are fishing, dancing, swimming and mountain climbing (even though it would be quite dangerous). But the truth is that I would never in my right mind take up cooking, sewing or knitting because they sound boring and time-consuming to me.<\/p>\n
Another exciting option would be to learn a new language, or collect stamps. In my free time, I often read or listen to music. In fact, I paint also, but my paintings often do not turn out to be the way I intend them to be. Also, the best form of exercise for me would be to play football. In this way, I not only get to spend time with my friends but also learn about teamwork<\/p>\n
