1. Why are qualities like humour and wit important in a person?
See AnswerHumour and wit make life lighter and happier. A person with these qualities can make others smile even in tense situations. Wit also shows quick thinking. It helps us to answer smartly without hurting anyoneโs feelings. Such people are liked by everyone because they spread positivity.
2. Why do you think kings and queens preferred to have witty people among their courtiers?
See AnswerKings and queens liked witty people because they made the court lively. A witty courtier could solve problems without fighting and could also give clever advice. Sometimes rulers faced tricky questions or quarrels and witty people helped them with smart solutions. Also, humour kept the king relaxed and cheerful.
3. If you were asked to solve a disagreement between two people, what approach would you take?
See AnswerI would first listen to both sides carefully. Then I would try to understand the main reason for their fight. After that, I would talk politely to both of them and find a middle way so that both feel satisfied. If needed, I would add a little humour to reduce their anger.
4. Have you ever been in a situation where a small misunderstanding led to a big problem? How was it resolved?
See AnswerYes, once my friend thought I ignored her during a game, but actually I didnโt hear her calling. She became angry and stopped talking to me. Later, I explained everything to her and even cracked a small joke. We both laughed and the fight ended. So, I learned that talking clearly solves most problems.

Class 8 Poorvi Chapter 1 Question Answers
Let us think and reflect
I Read the extracts and answer the questions that follow.

A narrative essay is written on a personal experience or an imagined experience.
I Read the narrative essay given below.
A Lesson in Responsibility
One bright Monday morning, I woke up to the sounds of birds chirping loudly. For once, I wasnโt late for school. My uniform was neatly laid out, and my homework was already packed in my bag. I felt proud of myself for being so organised. But little did I know, the day would still teach me an important lesson.
During the morning assembly, our teacher, Mrs. Rao, announced a surprise Science quiz. My heart skipped a beat. I had studied the chapter a week ago, but I had forgotten to revise it over the weekend. As I sat at my desk with the question paper in front of me, I froze. The questions looked familiar, yet I couldnโt recall the answers clearly. I tried my best to focus, but it wasnโt enough. Later, when the results were announced, I scored much lower than I expected. Disappointed, I spoke to Mrs. Rao after the class. She smiled and said, โItโs not about how much you know but how consistently you prepare. Small efforts add up every day.โ Her words stayed with me. From that day on, I made it a habit to revise my lessons regularly, even if there wasnโt an immediate test. Responsibility isnโt just about being on time or finishing tasksโitโs about being ready for whatโs unexpected.
Now, work in pairs and check if the following features are present in the narrative essay.
1. Introduction

5. Language
โข The essay uses simple and clear language.
โข Grammar, punctuation and spellings are correctly used.
Note: A narrative essay focuses on sharing a personal experience to convey a specific lesson, a reflection or an idea. It has an introduction, a body and a conclusion.
Now, write a narrative essay based on any one of the situations given below.
โข The Day I Learnt the Value of Teamwork
See AnswerThe Day I Learnt the Value of Teamwork
It was a bright Saturday morning when our school announced an inter-class sports competition. I was excited because our class was participating in the relay race and I was chosen as one of the runners. At first, I thought it would be easyโI just had to run fast and hand over the baton. But the day turned out to be a bigger lesson than I had imagined.
During practice, I noticed that each of us was focused only on running as fast as possible. We often dropped the baton because we werenโt coordinating properly. Our sports teacher reminded us, โRelay races arenโt about who runs the fastest, but how well the team works togetherโ. This made me think. I started encouraging my teammates to practice the handover technique carefully. Soon, we began to trust each other and our movements became smoother.
On the day of the race, my heart was pounding as I waited for my turn. When the baton reached me, I ran with all my energy, but what truly mattered was how perfectly I passed it to the next runner. Our team didnโt win first place, but we finished the race without a single mistake. Standing together at the finish line, we felt proudโnot for winning, but for working as one.
That day, I learnt that teamwork is about trust, communication and supporting each other. Itโs not just about individual effort, but how we come together to achieve something bigger.
โข A Small Act of Kindness that Made a Difference
See AnswerA Small Act of Kindness that Made a Difference
One rainy afternoon, as I was returning home from school, I noticed an elderly man standing by the roadside. He held an umbrella that had turned inside out because of the strong wind. His grocery bag had fallen and apples were rolling onto the wet pavement. People passed by without stopping, too busy or too hurried to notice. I hesitated for a moment, then ran over to help.
I picked up the apples and handed him the bag. His hands were trembling and his clothes were soaked. I offered to walk him home since his house was just a lane away. On the way, he told me he lived alone and had no one nearby to help. As we reached his doorstep, he patted my shoulder and said with a smile, โToday, you were my sunshine on a rainy dayโ.
I didnโt expect much from that moment, but later, the school principal called me to the stage in morning assembly. The old man had written a letter to the school, appreciating my help. I was overwhelmed. That small act, which took just a few minutes, had made someone feel seen and cared for.
That day, I learnt how even a simple gesture can bring comfort to someone in need. Kindness doesnโt require big actionsโjust a caring heart and a willingness to help.

Theme: The story beautifully explores kindness, jealousy, and the value of forgiveness. It teaches us that true happiness comes from sharing and being good to others.
Interesting Parts:
The most interesting part of the story is when Binya, a young girl, receives a beautiful blue umbrella that everyone in the village admires. The local shopkeeper, Ram Bharosa, becomes jealous and tries to get the umbrella for himself. However, when Binya learns about his desire, she does something surprising โ she gives him the umbrella. This simple act of kindness transforms Ram Bharosaโs attitude, making the ending both heartwarming and memorable.
Story 3:
Title: The Thirsty Crow
Theme: The story teaches us that intelligence and effort can solve problems. Even in difficult situations, we should not give up but try to find a solution.
Interesting Parts: The most interesting part was when the crow saw the pot of water but the water level was very low. Instead of flying away sadly, the crow thought of an idea. It picked up small pebbles one by one and dropped them into the pot. Slowly, the water rose higher and finally, the crow could drink.
I liked this part because it showed the crowโs cleverness and patience. The story is simple but gives a big lesson: โWhere there is a will, there is a wayโ.

The Vijayanagara Empire was renowned for its glory, wealth, and cultural achievements. Among its many illustrious rulers, King Krishnadeva Raya (ruled 1509โ29 CE) stood out as a wise and powerful monarch. His reign is often referred to as the Golden Era of the Vijayanagara Empire, a time when art, literature, and architecture flourished. A great patron of learning, Krishnadeva Raya was not only an eminent warrior but also a gifted poet. His works, such as the epic Amuktamalyada and the Sanskrit drama Jambavati Parinayam, are acclaimed even today.

Krishnadeva Rayaโs court was home to eight celebrated poets, collectively known as the Ashtadiggajas. These poets, including Allasani Peddana and Tenali Ramakrishna, enriched the literary tradition with their masterpieces. Tenali Ramakrishna, in particular, was known for his quick wit and humour, earning him a special place in the kingโs court as both a poet and a witty advisor. His clever solutions to seemingly insurmountable problems made him a beloved figure in the empireโs history.

Even the wisest rulers face moments of disharmony, and at one such time, the king had a quarrel with his queen, Thirumalambal, over a seemingly trivial matter. For weeks, he did not utter a single word to her, and in his frustration, stopped visiting her altogether. His absence cast a shadow over the palace, and the once cheerful corridors seemed quiet and forlorn.

โThe king wrote a poem,โ she began, her voice trembling. โIt was filled with vague expressionsโsun, moon, stars, beautiful skyโbut it made no sense. When he tried reciting it to his ministers, they all avoided him, making excuses. It was late evening when he came to me, seeking an audience. He began reciting it to me, but I was so exhausted after a tiring day that I yawnedโ not once, but several times. The king thought I was disrespecting his poem and stormed off. Since then, he has not spoken to me. If I had known this would happen I would have chosen another day. Help me, please, Rama. Only you can help the king understand.โ

The next morning, the royal court was bustling with activity. Ministers, scholars, and courtiers filled the courtroom, its intricately carved pillars towering towards the high ceiling. Rays of sunlight streamed through the open windows, illuminating the floor adorned with exquisite rugs. Despite the lively chatter, a tension hung in the air. The king sat on his ornate throne, his expression stern, his sharp eyes scanning the room. It was evident that the unresolved quarrel still gnawed at him.

The court discussion was centred on improving paddy cultivation in the empire. One by one, the ministers rose to present their ideas. Some suggested expanding irrigation networks, while others advocated for better manure. Amid these suggestions, Tenali Rama stood quietly at the edge of the court, observing everyone with an amused smile.

Finally, the king called upon Rama. The chatter in the court died down as all eyes turned to him. Rama approached the throne, carrying a plateful of paddy seeds. Bowing low, he began, โYour Majesty, I bring you a revolutionary type of paddy seeds. If these are sown, the yield will be three times greater than the current results.โ

A murmur swept through the room. One of the courtiers, known for his sarcasm, whispered just loud enough to be heard, โI wonder if these are magic seeds! Next, heโll claim they grow without water.โ Another muttered, โPerhaps he found them on the moon!โ Snickers rippled through the court.

A hush fell over the court as Ramaโs words hung in the air. The kingโs eyebrows furrowed. โWhat is wrong with the person who sows the seeds? Speak clearly, Rama!โ he roared.

Rama glanced around the court, his sharp gaze meeting the sceptical eyes of the courtiers. โIf one were to sow seeds without proper care, no one would reap a good harvest,โ he said, pausing for effect. โAnd what if the person had a habit of yawning while sowing? Wouldnโt the seeds scatter unevenly?โ

The court erupted into laughter, the earlier sarcasm replaced by genuine amusement. Even the king, caught off guard, sighed and instinctively yawned. Rama watched him keenly, then continued, โYour Majesty, is there anyone in this world who does not yawn? It is as natural as breathing.โ

The kingโs expression shifted as realisation dawned. His mind raced back to the quarrel with the queen. He remembered scolding her harshly for yawning while he recited his poem. He realised how unfair he had been. โIf I had known that yawning was not a sign of disrespect, I wouldnโt have taken her gesture so personally,โ he thought, regret filling his heart.

Class 8 English Poorvi Chapter 1 Summary in English and Hindi
Summary in EnglishThe Wit that Won Hearts
This story is set in the royal court of King Krishnadeva Raya of the Vijayanagara Empire, known for his wisdom and love for art and literature. One day, the king has a misunderstanding with his queen, Thirumalambal. She yawns while he recites a poem and he feels insulted, deciding not to speak to her.
Upset, the queen seeks help from Tenali Rama, the witty court poet. Tenali, known for his intelligence and humour, plans a clever act in court. He presents magical paddy seeds and jokingly blames poor harvests on yawning while sowing seeds. The king laughs and realises that yawning is natural, not disrespectful.
This helps him understand his mistake. He apologises to the queen and peace is restored in the palace. Tenali Ramaโs clever thinking and humour once again win hearts, showing how wit can solve even delicate problems.
