YESWIN 3 ENGLISH

There were four friends — Circle, Square, Triangle and Rectangle. 

One day there began a fight between the friends.

 Circle, Square, Triangle and Rectangle..

Circle said, “I am the best! 

I am round and beautiful. 

I have no sharp edges. 

Children use me to draw a smiling face. 

There are so many beautiful things in my shape.

 I am the best!

CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

The other shapes refused to agree with the circle. 

Square then said, “I am the best! 

I have four sides and all of them are equal in size.

 Children eat many sweets which are square in shape.

 I look very beautiful and so I am the best.

After listening to this, Triangle said in a loud voice, 

“I am the best! Just look at me! 

I am so beautiful.

I have three sides. 

Children use me to draw mountains.

 They enjoy many yummy snacks in my shape.

 So, I am the best!”

CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

Listening to the other three friends, Rectangle laughed aloud. 

“Of course not. 

No one can be better than me. 

I have four sides. 

Two are equally long and two are equally short. 

I look so beautiful. 

Children enjoy biscuits and chocolates in rectangle shape.

 They also use so many things in my shape. 

I am the best!” said the rectangle.

CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

The friends could not decide who was the best among them. 

They decided to ask the first person they meet. 

After some time, they met a star. 

They stopped her and told her of their fight.

 They asked her to decide who was the best among them.

CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

The star was wise. 

She looked at all of them. 

She thought for a while.

 Then she said, “All of you are friends.

 Then why should you fight?

 Let me tell you something very important.

 Do you know what you could do if you were together?

 You could create the most beautiful pictures and patterns! 

Just look around. 

We find amazing designs and things in all the shapes.

 So, stop fighting. 

who was the best among them..”

The friends realised their mistake and promised each other that they would never fight again.

 They remained best friends forever.

”Seeing an old man planting a fig tree, the king asked why he was doing this. The man replied that he might live to eat the fruit, and, even if he did not, his son would enjoy the figs. 

“Well,” said the king, “if you do live to eat the fruit of this tree, please let me know.” 

The man promised to do so, and sure enough, before too long, the tree grew and bore fruit.

 Packing some fine figs in a basket, the old man set out for the palace to meet the king. 

The king accepted the gift and gave orders that the old man’s basket be filled with gold.

 Now, next door to the old man, there lived a greedy old man jealous of his neighbour’s good fortune.

 He also packed some figs in a basket and took them to the palace in the hope of getting gold.

The king, on learning the man’s motive, ordered him to stand in the compound and had him pelted with figs.

 The old man returned home and told his wife the sad story. 

She consoled him by saying, “You should be thankful that our neighbour did not grow coconuts.”

It was a holiday. 

The local market was full of people.

 The toy shop opened at 9 a.m.

 There were many toys like wooden toys, soft toys, board games, bats and balls and many others.

 All the toys in the toy shop were waiting to see who would buy them.

“Look there,” shouted the toy kitten. 

They saw two girls coming towards the shop.

 But they passed by just looking at the toys through the windows.

 “Oh, no!” exclaimed all the toys at once. 

After some time, a girl and a little boy stopped at the door of the toy shop.

Their father stopped too. 

The girl pointed at the board games displayed in the shop. 

Finally, she chose thegame ‘Snakes and Ladders.

“Ohhhh”, sighed the toys together. 

Next, they saw a woman and her son coming in.

 There was excitement in the shop among the toys.

 A talking doll said, “It would be so nice if they pick me up.

“I would be happy if they chose me,” thought the toy elephant. 

“Namaste! How may I help you?” asked the toy shopkeeper. 

“Namaste! I want to buy a toy for my son,” said the woman looking at the toys in the racks.

“Aayi! I want that Vande Bharat train,” said the little boy pointing to the toy train.

What do you call your mother?

nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Aayi bought the Vande Bharat toy train. 

The little boy was happy. 

Then two girls came in. 

The toys looked at them eagerly.

 “Zooooooooooooooom! Friends! I think they would like to fly me,” said the aeroplane confidently. 

“Trin … Trin …! I think they may like to play with me,” thought the toy phone. One girl bought marbles and the other bought the toy aeroplane. 

After a while, a group of children came into the toy shop. 

“Wow! I like this toy elephant,” said the girl with long hair.

“I will take this spinning top,” said the boy with the red cap.

 “I like these cute dancing dolls,” said the boy in the blue shirt. 

 The children bought the toys. 

They left the shop cheerfully.
