Jungle in Jeopardy

 

Reading 2

1. Do you think the three young boys were truly heroic or do you think they took unnecessary risks? what would you have done had you been in their place?

Yes. I think that the boys were truly heroic. The boys found the clues. They identified the wrongdoers and got them arrested. They took a risk when they went alone to the old building in the middle of the forest. A meeting of the poachers was scheduled there. The poachers might harm or kill them. They should have taken some people with them.

I would do the same thing with minimum risk. I would have taken some elders with me to the old building in the forest.

2.  Rewrite the story about 100 words, giving it a different ending.

Shiva, Dev, and Bishnu were three friends who loved animals. One day they saw a wounded rhino. They report it to the district forest officer, Mr. Kedar. They could find that the head forest ranger, Daru was involved in the poaching. They got to know that the poachers were meeting in an old building in the middle of the forest. Two of the boys went there to watch the building secretly from a distance, while the third boy went to bring the police and forest officials to arrest them. Mrs. Kedar helped the boy in informing the authorities. The boys were given a bravery award for their heroic deed.
