What would you have done if, like Gopi, you had found a ball that did not belong to you?
Answer:
If I had found a ball that did not belong to me, I would first ask the people around if it was theirs. Then I would ask my friends or neighbours to find the owner. If no one claimed it after some time, I would keep it safely until someone came to look for it.
Question 2.
Imagine what happens to the hockey ball after it is taken away by the scooter. Where does it go? Who finds it?

The scooterist drives home without knowing the ball is in the basket. When he reaches home, he parks the scooter and goes inside. Later, a small child comes out to play and finds the ball in the basket. The child feels happy to get a new ball and starts playing with it.
Question 3.
Notice that the scooterist is wearing a helmet. Why is it important to wear a helmet? Should the pillion rider also wear a helmet?
Answer:
It is important to wear a helmet because it protects your head in case of an accident. A helmet can save you from serious injuries. Yes, the pillion rider should also wear a helmet for their own safety. Both the rider and the passenger need to stay safe on the road.
