3. Question: How did Maxwell get the otter? Did he like it? Which words show this?

Answer:
One of Maxwell’s friends bought the otter for him and sent it to his place. Maxwell liked the otter very much. This is clear when he says that Mij slept near him and that he made a belt to carry him safely.

4. Question: Why is Mij’s species known as Maxwell’s otter?

Answer:
Mij belonged to a species that was unknown to science earlier. Zoologists later named this species after Maxwell, so it is called Maxwell’s otter.

Hindi:
मिज ऐसी प्रजाति का था जो पहले विज्ञान को ज्ञात नहीं थी। बाद में वैज्ञानिकों ने इस प्रजाति का नाम मैक्सवेल के नाम पर रखा, इसलिए इसे मैक्सवेल का ऊदबिलाव कहा जाता है।

5. Question: What happened when Maxwell took Mijbil to the bathroom? What did Mij do after two days?

6. Question: How was Mijbil transported to England?

Answer:
Mijbil was kept in a box as instructed by the airline. Since British airlines did not allow pets, Maxwell travelled by another airline from Iraq to Paris and then from Paris to London.

Hindi:
मिजबिल को एयरलाइन के निर्देश के अनुसार एक डिब्बे में रखा गया। ब्रिटिश एयरलाइन पालतू जानवरों की अनुमति नहीं देती थी, इसलिए मैक्सवेल ने इराक से पेरिस और फिर पेरिस से लंदन की यात्रा की।

7. Question: Why did Maxwell call the airhostess “the very queen of her kind”?

Answer:
The airhostess was kind and understanding. She listened to Maxwell’s problem and allowed him to take the otter out of the box, which greatly helped him.

Hindi:
एयरहोस्टेस दयालु और समझदार थी। उसने मैक्सवेल की समस्या सुनी और उसे ऊदबिलाव को डिब्बे से बाहर निकालने की अनुमति दी, इसलिए मैक्सवेल ने उसकी बहुत प्रशंसा की।

8. Question: What happened when the box was opened?

Answer:
When the box was opened, Mij ran out and started running all around the plane. The passengers got scared and there was complete chaos.

Hindi:
जैसे ही डिब्बा खोला गया, मिज बाहर निकल आया और पूरे विमान में दौड़ने लगा। यात्री डर गए और अफरा-तफरी मच गई।

9. Question: What game did Mij invent?

Answer:
Mij invented a game of playing with a ball. He rolled the ball from the top of a sloping suitcase and ran to catch it at the bottom.

Hindi:
मिज ने गेंद से खेलने का एक नया खेल बनाया। वह गेंद को ढलान वाले सूटकेस के ऊपर से लुढ़काता और नीचे जाकर उसे पकड़ता था।


---

10. Question: What guesses did the Londoners make about Mij?

Answer:
Since otters were uncommon in London, people made strange guesses. They thought Mij was a baby seal, a squirrel, a hippo, or even a small dinosaur.

Hindi:
लंदन में ऊदबिलाव कम देखे जाते थे, इसलिए लोगों ने अजीब अनुमान लगाए। उन्होंने मिज को सील का बच्चा, गिलहरी, दरियाई घोड़ा या छोटा डायनासोर समझ लिया।

  1. The Thirsty Crow One hot summer afternoon, a thirsty crow flew here and there looking for water. After a long search, he saw a pot under a tree. He flew down and looked inside. There was a little water at the bottom, but his beak couldn't reach it. He tried to push the pot, but it was too heavy. The clever crow got an idea. He picked up small pebbles and dropped them into the pot one by one. Slowly, the water level rose. At last, the water came near the top. The crow drank the water and flew away happily, feeling refreshed. Moral : Where there is a will, there is a way. 2. The Greedy Dog Once there was a hungry dog. He found a juicy bone and was very happy. Holding it in his mouth, he ran to a quiet place to enjoy it. On his way, he had to cross a small bridge over a stream.
