Two Stories about Flying Part 2 Thinking about the Text<\/strong><\/p>\n

Question 1.
\n\u201cI\u2019ll take the risk.\u201d What is the risk? Why does the narrator take it?
\nAnswer:
\nHe was in a risky position. There were stormy clouds in front of him and he did not have enough fuel to go around them to reach Paris. The narrator took the risk because he wanted to reach Paris to celebrate Christmas with his family.<\/p>\n

Question 2.
\nDescribe the narrator\u2019s experience as he flew his aeroplane into the storm.
\nAnswer:
\nThe narrator experienced a frightening experience on a stormy night. He was shocked to see that the compass and other instruments were out of order. His contact with Paris Control Room was also stopped. There were stormy clouds ahead of him and there was no fuel left to move around. Then suddenly, he saw another aeroplane with no lights on its wings but surprisingly he was able to see the face of the pilot who signalled to follow him by waving his hand. He was delighted to see a helping hand. He followed that black aeroplane for about half an hour. Then suddenly he noticed he was near the runway. His happiness knew no bounds when he was on the runway with fuel hardly sufficient for ten minutes.<\/p>\n

Question 3.
\nWhy does the narrator say, \u201cI landed and was not sorry to walk away from the old Dakota…\u201d?
\nAnswer:
\nHe was delighted to land safely out of dark stormy clouds; therefore, he was not sorry to walk away from his plane. He felt bad, when he was not able to thank his guide, his mentor who saved him from frightening situations, but he was so happy after landing that he didn\u2019t feel sorry for not being able to thank the guide pilot.<\/p>\n

Question 4.
\nWhat made the woman in the Control centre look at the narrator strangely?
\nAnswer:
\nThe woman in the control room was surprised when the narrator asked about the other aeroplane and its pilot. She said that there was no other aeroplane seen on the radar.<\/p>\n

\"NCERT<\/p>\n

Question 5.
\nWho do you think helped the narrator to reach safely? Discuss this among yourselves and give reasons for your answer.
\nAnswer:
\nAs there was no aeroplane other than the narrator\u2019s, it could not be a human help. Though the doubts and curiosity about the strange plane have not been made clear by the narrator, it seems to be his inner voice which guided him to land safely. Otherwise, how could a plane which had no lights on its wings be visible to the narrator and how could he see the face and waving hand of the pilot? Thus, it must be his inner voice only.<\/p>\n

\n(ii) No, he didn\u2019t try anyone of them.<\/p>\n

\"NCERT<\/p>\n

Question 4.
\nDid the seagull think the sea was like a land? Pick out the words from the text that suggest this.
\nAnswer:
\nYes, the seagull thought the sea was like a land. He landed on the sea. When his legs sank into it, he screamed with fear and tried to rise again flapping his wings. This clearly indicates that he thought the sea was like a land.<\/p>\n

\nAnswer:
\n(i)His flight began when he was falling outwards and downwards into space. His wings spread outwards. Now, he was not falling headlong. He was moving gradually downwards and outwards.
\n(ii) His flight ended floating on the sea.<\/p>\n

\nWhen did the seagull get over his fear of the water?
\nAnswer:
\nThe seagull thought the sea was like a land. When he landed on the sea, his feet sank into it. He was seized with fear. He was too tired to rise again. His belly touched the water and he sank no further. Now, he was floating on the sea. He had got over his fear of the water.<\/p>\n

Question 7.
\nDo you sympathise with the seagull? Give reasons.
\nAnswer:
\nFlying is a natural instinct of birds. But the young seagull develops a fright of flight. We sympathise with him because he has to suffer a lot before he gets over his fear of flying. He has to bear the taunts of his family. He has to go without food for twenty-four hours.<\/p>\n

Question 8.
\nHow did the seagull express his excitement when he saw his mother bringing food for him?
\nAnswer:
\nThe seagull was very hungry. When he saw his mother bringing food for him, he was greatly excited. He expressed his excitement by uttering a joyful scream. He leaned out eagerly. He tapped the rock with his feet. He tried to get nearer to her as she flew across.<\/p>\n

Question 9.
\nHow did the young seagull\u2019s parents teach him the art of flying?
\nAnswer:
\nBirds have a natural instinct to fly. However, some birds, like the young seagull in the story are afraid to fly. Then their parents teach them how to fly. The seagull\u2019s parents fly about with their children curveting and banking and soaring and diving and thus, perfecting them in the art of flying.<\/p>\n

\"NCERT<\/p>\n

Two Stories about Flying Part 1\u00a0Long Answer Questions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Question 1.
\nWhy did the seagull\u2019s father and mother threaten him and persuade him to fly? How did they do it? Do you think it is a good parenting? Should the parents threaten their wards for learning?
\nAnswer:
\nThe young seagull was scared to fly. He was afraid of the vast exposure of the sea beneath him. His siblings were courageous and had learnt to fly. His parents constantly encouraged him to fly but he ‘ was too scared to fly. He was left alone without food. He was desperate with hunger. He expected his parents to feed him. But it was a threatening from them. He would die of hunger if he did not fly. The mother tempted him with a fish within his reach but not closer to him.<\/p>\n

He ultimately fell to temptation and dived into the sea and finally succeeded. Yes, it was a good parenting. Parents should not pamper their kids by spoon feeding. They should make them independent. They should learn to do their work. Parents\u2019 strictness in making a child learn a skill should not be taken as a threat. It is necessary and in favour of the child. In my opinion, without threat, the seagull would not have learnt to fly. He would have starved to death.<\/p>\n

Question 2.
\n\u2018Spare the rod and spoil the child.\u2019 Do you think the young seagull was not ready to fly due to lenient treatment by his family in the beginning? What made him fly later on? What is the role of motivation in learning?
\nAnswer:
\n\u2018Spare the rod and spoil the child\u2019. No, I don\u2019t agree with this statement.No learning can take place under fear. It is the motivation that makes learning easy. The seagull was too scared to fly. It was a new thing for him. When he saw the vast sea, he could not take courage and fly. He was too young and was being taken care of by his parents. It was natural that his parents were feeding him. It can\u2019t be called a lenient treatment.<\/p>\n

He was, no doubt, threatened by his parents, but it was just to make him realise how important it was to fly. It was a question of his survival. The mother seagull tempted him with a piece of fish. He fell to temptation and dived into the vast sea. He was encouraged by his family and he learnt the art of flying. Motivation, encouragement and family support help in learning. The rod must be spared.<\/p>\n

Question 3.
\nFear and lack of confidence stop one from learning new things. Do you agree? How did these two traits of the young seagull make him coward? How did he overcome these shortcomings?
\nAnswer:
\nYes, it is true that fear and lack of confidence stop us from learning new things.
\nThe young seagull lacked the value of courage and confidence in his character. He was the last member, in his family, to learn the art of flight. He was too scared to fly. His parents and other siblings encouraged him constantly. When it did not work, they scolded him for his cowardice. The mother seagull tricked him and tempted him with a piece of fish. He was kept hungry. His hunger and need for food forced him to dive into the sea.<\/p>\n

Though he was not willing to learn the art of flying yet he was tricked by his family. Once he dived, his fear disappeared and he enjoyed his first flight.It is a fact that unless we try for something and overcome our fear we can\u2019t learn anything. Confidence and motivation are two important traits that make any learning possible.<\/p>\n

\"NCERT<\/p>\n

Question 4.
\nDoes the situation of the young seagull arouse sympathy for him? Does sympathy always help? Do you think providing food to the young seagull out of sympathy would have helped him?
\nAnswer:
\nThe young seagull was afraid of flying. He thought that his wings could not support him. He pretended to be falling asleep and called his mother for food. He was hungry but could not muster the courage to jump down and fly. He was scared. All his family members had left him and taunted him for his cowardice. In fact, they wanted him to take his first flight. He should have overcome his fear of flight by now.<\/p>\n

Yes, I sympathise with the seagull. It is not an easy task to take the first leap. One has to be confident and bold. All are not equally brave. The young seagull was ready to jump but he needed some time. Ultimately, he mustered the courage and overcame his fear of flight.<\/p>\n

No, sympathy does not always help. It makes a person dependent. We should not give a fish to a hungry man out of sympathy, we should teach him how to catch a fish for food. If the young seagull had been provided food, he would never have learnt the art of flying. He would have become a crippled parasite on his family.<\/p>\n

Two Stories about Flying Part 2\u00a0Long Answer Questions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Question 1.
\nDo you think the story \u2018The Black Aeroplane\u2019 is a mystery? Do you see some elements of supernatural power in the story? Do you believe in supernatural powers?
\nAnswer:
\nThe Black Aeroplane\u2019 by Frederick Forsyth is undoubtedly a mystery. The pilot of the old Dakota plane is trapped in black stormy clouds. Nothing is visible. All the instruments of his plane also stop functioning. Suddenly from nowhere a black aeroplane appears in the cloud. The pilot of the black aeroplane guides him. The plane has no lights on its wings but its pilot is still flying at ease. The first pilot arrives safely at the airport but when he goes to thank the pilot of the black plane, the woman in the control room even denies having seen any other aeroplane on the \u2018radar\u2019. This statement leaves the mystery of the pilot of the black aeroplane unfolded. However, there is no element of supernatural power in the story. There is no ghost or spirit in the plot. I don\u2019t believe in supernatural elements like ghosts or spirits.<\/p>\n

Question 2.
\nWas it the imagination of the pilot of Dakota aeroplane or a supreme power which helped the first pilot in landing safely? Do you think that there is always a supreme power that helps us in adversity?
\nAnswer:
\nThe pilot of the old Dakota aeroplane was caught in the black stormy clouds. Suddenly, a black aeroplane comes to his rescue. In the modern age of science and technology some people may reject the idea of a supreme power helping a person in crisis. It may be the imagination of the Dakota pilot. When in distress, he lost all hope. Maybe his own imagination guided him to go ahead and land safely.<\/p>\n

I support this because the statement of the woman in the control room further confirms the non-existence of any black aeroplane on the radar. So there was neither any black aeroplane nor any pilot, it was purely the imagination of the Dakota pilot.<\/p>\n

I personally feel the presence of supreme power in our own acts. At the time of adversity our own power helps us. We may call it supreme power or something else except supernatural power.<\/p>\n

\"NCERT<\/p>\n

Question 3.
\nThe pilot wanted to thank another pilot after his safe landing. Why? What characteristics are reflected from his action?
\nAnswer:
\nThe pilot of the old Dakota was caught in the storm. He lost his contact with the control room. His fuel tank was also empty. The instrument also stopped working. He had lost all hopes when a black strange plane appeared from nowhere. The pilot of the black plane asked him to follow him. He landed safely. After his landing safely, he wanted to thank the pilot. When asked the lady in the control room about the pilot, he came to know that there was no pilot or plane with him. It was only his imagination. He wanted to thank the pilot to show his gratitude. He was thankful to him for saving his life.<\/p>\n

Question 4.
\nHave you ever been alone, or away from home during a thunderstorm or something like that? Narrate your experience in the form of a paragraph. What helped you in that situation?
\nAnswer:
\nYes, once I was alone and away from home during a thunderstorm. In fact, I was on an educational excursion in Himachal Pradesh. We were a group of ten students. On that particular day, I was having fever and stayed locked in my tent in the base camp. All of my friends had gone to the city for shopping. Suddenly, I noticed a huge black cloud in one corner of the valley. It grew dark and started raining. It was followed by thunderstorm. I was all alone. It was really scary. I got into my tent but soon it was blown over by the wind. I was in the open. I ran towards a guest house. One of the persons in the guest house had already seen me. He ran towards me and rescued me.<\/p>\n
