Page No 31:

Question 1:

Study the pictures carefully and answer the following :

♦ What did Chhotu think when he looked at the pipe?

♦ How did Chhotu use the pipe?

♦ Into which parts did Chhotu divide the pipe and its surrounding area?

♦ In which part of this house will Chhotu like to spend most of his time?

♦ Why do you think Chhotu invited Monu to live with him in the pipe?

Answer:

1. Chhotu thought that he could live in that pipe. This thought would perhaps have aroused in his mind as he came to Mumbai for the first time and at that time, he did not have a house to live in. 2. Chhotu made that pipe his home. 3. Chhotu divided the pipe and its surrounding areas into sleeping, cooking, bathing and living areas. 4. Chhotu would like to spend most of his time outside the pipe for doing his daily chores like bathing, cooking and meeting his friends. 5. Monu is new to Mumbai and had no place to live. So, Chhotu invited him to live with him.
