A Legend of the Northland Thinking About the poem<\/strong><\/p>\n

I. <\/span>
\nQuestion 1.
\nWhich country or countries do you think the \u201cNorthland\u201d refers to?
\nAnswer:
\nThe \u201cNorthland\u201d could refer to any extremely cold country in the Earth\u2019s north polar region, such as Greenland, the northern regions of Russia, Canada, Norway etc.<\/p>\n

Question 2.
\nWhat did Saint Peter ask the old lady for? What was the lady\u2019s reaction?
\nAnswer:
\nSaint Peter asked the old lady for one of her baked cakes to satisfy his hunger. The lady tried to bake a small cake for the saint.<\/p>\n

\"NCERT<\/p>\n

Question 3.
\nHow did he punish her?
\nAnswer:
\nHe punished the lady by changing her into a woodpecker that built \u201cas birds do\u201d and gathered scanty food by boring in the \u201chard, dry wood\u201d all day long.<\/p>\n

Question 4.
\nHow does the woodpecker get her food?
\nAnswer:
\nThe woodpecker gets her food by boring holes into trees.<\/p>\n

Question 5.
\nDo you think that the old lady would have been so ungenerous if she had known who Saint Peter really was? What would she have done then?
\nAnswer:
\nSome of the people lack basic human values. Selflessness is a rare virtue. One does not want to help anybody without self-interest. They always want something in return. A person goes to a temple or a church or to a gurudwara just because they want something in return.<\/p>\n

The lady in the poem belongs to the same category. No, the lady would have behaved differently. She was a greedy woman. If she had known about Saint Peter and his power, she would have offered him her entire stock of cakes. She would have asked for some favours from him in return.<\/p>\n

\"NCERT<\/p>\n

Question 6.
\nIs this a true story? Which part of this poem do you feel is the most important?
\nAnswer:
\nThe poem is folklore. It passes on orally from one generation to the other. The main objectives of such poems or stories is to convey some values. Through some characters or incidents, some value are passed on from one generation to another. This method of spreading values is very effective. No, this is not a true story. The poet himself says, \u201cI don\u2019t believe \u2019is true.\u201d It is a legend. The most important part of the poem is the one which conveys that one must not be greedy.<\/p>\n

Question 7.
\nWhat is a legend? Why is this poem called a legend?
\nAnswer:
\nA \u2018legend\u2019 is a popular story from the past which is believed by many but one cannot prove whether it is true or not. It usually contains a message or a moral and is narrated to children.
\nThe poet himself says that he doesn\u2019t believe this tale to be true. This poem, a \u2018legend\u2019, preaches generosity towards fellow beings.<\/p>\n

Question 8.
\nWrite the story of \u2018A Legend of the Northland\u2019 in about ten sentences.
\nAnswer:
\nOnce Saint Peter stopped by an old lady\u2019s cottage because he was feeling hungry and weak after the day\u2019s fasting. The lady was baking cakes on the hearth. Since he was weak with fasting, he asked her for a cake from her store of cakes. The selfish lady tried to bake small cakes but each time they seemed too big for her to give away. Finally, she baked one that was as thin as a wafer. Unable to part with it too, she put it on a shelf and did not give any cake to the Saint.<\/p>\n

Saint Peter was very angry with her behaviour and said she was too selfish to live as a human and have food, shelter and a fire to keep her warm. He punished her by changing her into a woodpecker that would have to build a nest to live in, bore for food in the trunks of trees. Her clothes were burned and she was left with her scarlet cap on her head as she flew out through the chimney. Even today she still lives in the woods and is seen by all the country school boys.<\/p>\n

Question 2.
\nGo to the local library or talk to older persons in your locality and find legends in your own language. Tell the class these legends.
\nAnswer:
\nEcho was a nymph who talked too much. She was very fond of having the last word. One day she spoke rudely to the great Juno, who said that for this offence Echo should never use her voice again, unless to repeat what she had just heard, but since she was so very fond of last words, she might repeat the last words of others. This was almost as bad as if Juno had changed her into a parrot. Echo was very much ashamed, and hid herself in the forest.<\/p>\n

Narcissus, a young man who had hair as yellow as gold and eyes as blue as the sky, – a very rare thing in Greece, where most people were very dark, – used to hunt in the forest where Echo was hiding. As she was peeping out shyly from some cave or from behind a great tree, Echo often saw Narcissus, and she admired him very much.
\nOne day Narcissus became separated from his friends, and hearing something rustle among the leaves, he called out, \u201cWho\u2019s here?\u201d
\n\u201cHere,\u201d answered Echo.
\n\u201cHere I am. Come!\u201d said Narcissus.
\n\u201cI am come,\u201d said Echo; and, as she spoke, she came out from among the trees.
\nWhen Narcissus saw a stranger, instead of one of his friends as he had expected, he looked surprised and walked quickly away.<\/p>\n

After this, Echo never came out and allowed herself to be seen again, and in time she faded away till she became only a voice.<\/p>\n

This voice was heard for many, many years in forests and among mountains, particularly in caves. In their solitary walks, hunters often heard it. Sometimes it mocked the barking of their dogs; sometimes it repeated their own last words. It always had a weird and mournful sound, and seemed to make lonely places more lonely still.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
