The Hummingbird series of Primary Books from I to V are based on National Curriculum Framework (NCF) 2005 and the new Syllabus for classes at the Elementary Level. In the guidelines some of the objectives of teaching the different subjects at primary stage are:

• to train children to locate and comprehend relationships between the natural, social and cultural environment;

• to nurture the curiosity and creativity of the child particularly in relation to the natural environment;

• to develop an awareness about environmental issues; • to engage the child in exploratory and hands-on activities.

The Hummingbird series focus on themes that allow for a connected and interrelated understanding to develop and trigger the childs’ thinking in new directions. They connect knowledge to the child’s life outside the classroom and also provide overall development of children.

The series comprise textbooks on:

MATHEMATICS Children need to develop a positive attitude towards, and a liking for Mathematics at the primary stage,along with the cognitive skills and concepts that they acquire.The content includes Mathematical games, puzzles and stories that help in making connections between Mathematics and everyday thinking.

ENGLISH An integrated approach to the teaching of language is of particular relevance at primary level. The books address different skills of language, namely listening, speaking, reading and writing which focus on across the curriculum approach through a variety of genres – poems, stories, role-plays and drama to develop the language skills creatively.

SCIENCE Science education should develop competence and encourage inventive-ness and creativity. The textbooks incorporate activities, observation, experimenta-tion and encourage an active approach to science, connecting it to the world around the child, rather than information based learning.

SOCIAL STUDIES The textbooks provide the social, cultural and analytical skills required to adjust to an increasingly interdependent world. The focus in the books is on a conceptual understanding rather than lining up facts to be memorized.

ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES Environmental Studies is a subject dealing with Man’s relation to his whole environment, viz. his surroundings, his home, his neighbourhood, his city or town extending ever outward. The books contextualize the relevance of the subject and bring it to life.

This story is in the form of a little play. Arrange with your friends to act it. But first of all you must work out everything carefully.Say how you think the Goodman and the Wife should look and speak, and the kind of clothes they should wear.

Characters in the playGOODMAN HIS WIFE TWO STRANGERS

The scene is the small room of a peasant’s cottage. It is neat and clean but with very few things.

Act 1 – Morning

Goodman: Yes, my dear. We had better sell the horse.Wife: That is as you say. He’s easy to keep.Goodman: That is true. Still, think how much money I could get for him.

Wife: But think how much you use him. He carries you to market and brings home after all the shopping.Goodman: Yes, it is true; but remember how often the neighbours come to borrow him.Wife: Yes, but think how often they help you in the farm in return for it. When I was ill last winter, don’t you know how Goodwife Brown came to look after the house, and said she was glad enough to make some return for the number of times we had lent her our horse?Goodman: Yes, but I think it will be best to exchange the horse for money or for something useful.Wife: Then the horse shall be exchanged.Goodman: But what shall I exchange it for?Wife: You will know best, old man. It is Fair day today, so ride into town and sell the horse for money, or make a good exchange. Whichever you do will be right for me, so get ready now and ride off. Goodman: Very well, I will, for you can count on this with me: I know what I am about.

Act 2 – Evening

Wife: Where can the Goodman be? He is always back from the market before dark. But there, he would have to walk home, wouldn’t he? Ah, me! We shall miss our horse. But there! He knows best – and here he is now.Goodman: (coming in with a sack) Good evening, wife.(Two strangers follow the Goodman, unseen by his wife. They hide behind the door.)Wife: Good evening, goodman, and welcome home!Goodman: I’ve made the exchange.Wife: Yes, you understand what you are about.Goodman: I’ll tell you all about it. As I was riding to town, I met a man driving a beautiful cow. I said to myself, “That cow would give good milk, I am sure. A horse may be of more value than a cow, but I don’t care for that.” So I spoke to the man and exchanged the horse for the cow.Wife: Heaven be thanked! Now we shall have plenty of milk and butter and cheese. That was a capital exchange. You know what you are about!Goodman: Yes, but after that I met a man driving a sheep, and I said to myself, “A sheep could find plenty of grass in our yard, and would be easier to keep in winter, and is besides more profitable than a cow.” So I exchanged the cow for a sheep.© H

Wife: Better still! We have just pasture enough for a sheep. Ewe’s milk and cheese, woolen jackets and stockings! The cow cannot give those. How you think of everything!Goodman: But I changed that too, I tell you. I met a fellow carrying a great goose under his arm.Said I to myself, “That has plenty of feathers and plenty of fat, and would look well tied to a string and paddling in the water at our place. That,” said I, “would be something for my old woman.”So I exchanged my sheep for his goose.Wife: You dear old man, you are always thinking of something to give me pleasure. We can let the goose walk about with a string to her leg, and when she grows fatter, we’ll roast her, and this year we shall really have roast goose to eat.

Goodman: But I gave away the goose for a fowl.Wife: A fowl! That was an exchange!Goodman: Yes, directly I saw the fowl, I thought to myself, “On my word, I would like that fowl. It’s the finest I ever saw. Besides, a fowl can always find a grain or two and keep itself.”Wife: Yes, indeed! The fowl will lay eggs and hatch them, and we shall have chickens; we shall have a whole poultry yard! What could be better!© H

Goodman: Yes, but I exchanged the fowl.Wife: You did, and what for?Goodman: I will tell you. I was tired after that, and I thought I’d stop at the inn, and have a rest.Wife: Quite right. You deserved a rest. But tell me, what happened then?Goodman: At the door I met the innkeeper carrying a sack. I asked him what he had in it, and he told me rotten apples, a whole sackful of them for his pigs. I told him that would be a terrible waste, and said I to him, “I should like to take them home to my old woman, for last year, when our old apple tree bore only one apple, she kept it in the cupboard until it was withered and rotten, and kept saying, ‘Anyway, it is always property!’”Wife: You told him I said that?Goodman: Indeed I did, and I said how you would open your eyes to see whole sackful of property. And so we exchanged, and here is the bag of rotten apples.Wife: (taking it eagerly) My dear, good husband! Now I will tell you something. After you left this morning I began to think that I must get you something very nice for dinner, but I wanted some herbs to cook with. So I went to neighbour Smith – a mean woman, as you know – and asked her to lend me a handful of herbs. “Lend!” she exclaimed, “I have nothing to lend from our garden; I could not even lend you one from our garden; I could not even lend you one rotten apple.” Now I can lend her a whole sackful. It makes me laugh to think of it! Dear goodman, what you do is always right! Goodman: There, I said so. (turning to the door where the two men have entered)Come along in. Didn’t I tell you so?First stranger: Well done, goodman.Wife: Why, what is all this? Your pardon, sirs. Did you knock?Second stranger: No, goodwife, we did not, for your husband knew we were here. We came home with him from the inn, and ask pardon for spying on you. But first we must talk with your goodman. Wife: Goodman, what does all this mean?Goodman: I’ll tell you, wife. These gentlemen saw me exchange my fowl for the apples, and they asked me why, and I told them the whole story of my day, just as I have told it to you. Didn’t I, sirs?First stranger: You did, indeed.Second stranger: The very same story.Goodman: And this gentleman (pointing to the first stranger) said to me, “I’ll warrant

that old woman will give it to you when you get home.” And I said, “Give what?” And he said to me, “Give you a sound rating, and you’ll be lucky to get off so easily.” But I said, “No, she will say, ‘What the goodman does is always right.’”First stranger: (bowing) And you did, madam. So my friend and I owe you a hundred pounds in gold – we had wager that your husband would be wrong and we would be right. We will pour it out on to the table if you will allow us, and we are not sorry to do it, for the sake of having seen such a wife as you. Good day, and good luck to you both.(The two strangers pour the gold on to the table, bow to the Goodman and the wife, and go out.) Goodman: Look at that pile, will you? This morning we had a horse. Now we have a hundred pounds in gold. Didn’t I know what I was about?Wife: Goodman, what you do is always right.

Once upon a time a farmer planted some carrot seeds in his fields. He watered them and cared for them and soon the seeds began to grow. As the seeds grew into plants the farmer kept looking after them. He removed the weeds and watered his carrot plants every day until his wife called him for his supper. The buds of the carrot turned to blossom.

“Soon small red carrots will grow, will grow, will grow” thought the farmer.

At last the carrot turned pink, then it turned red and finally deep red in his farm.

And then something strange and magical happened. The old man woke up one morning to find that one of his carrots had grown much bigger than the others. The carrot was not just big. It was, in fact, quite enormous!

“A big, bumpy, round, long carrot,

The old man pulled the carrot with all his might but it would not budge! So he called his wife for some help!

Then, together, they pulled, and pulled and pulled, but the giant carrot still would not move!

So, the old man and the woman called their son who was playing in the field. The boy ran to the carrot field to help his parents. All of them pulled, and pulled and pulled, but the giant carrot would not shift from its place!

The boy called his little sister for help. At once the little girl came to help them.

THE DOCTOR

Rose Fyleman

He often makes me stay in bed

When I would rather play instead,

And gives me horrid things to take

In bottles that you have to shake.

And yet I never really mind

Because he is so very kind.

He comes with mother up the stair

And by my bed he takes a chair,

And says in such a twinkly way,

“And how’s the invalid today?”

He sees my tongue, he sees my throat;

He has a thing inside his coat

With which he listens at my chest;

And that is what I like the best.

THERE was once a shepherd who had many sheep and rams than there were grains of sand on the beach. And yet, with all this, he was constantly afraid that one of them would die. It was a long winter, and through the entire season he did nothing but beg and plead with the Months: “December, please be nice to me! January, please don’t kill any of my animals with your cold weather! February, if you are good to me, I will always honour you!”

The Months listened to the shepherd’s prayers, and were always flattered. They thought “ we should fulfil the wish of this loyal shepherd”. So, they complied with his wishes. They sent neither rain nor hail nor any sickness on land. And the sheep and the rams continued to pasture in the fields all winter long, without catching a cold.

It was almost the end of March, the Month with the most unruly temperament; and all had gone well. On the last day of March, now that April was just around the corner and it was Springtime and his flock was safe and sound, the shepherd felt there was no need to be afraid any more. So he dropped his customary tone of care and concern, and started bragging and poking fun at the Month of March:

“O March! O March! You who were the terror of my flock, how do you think you can frighten now? The lambs? Ha, ha, March! I’m not afraid of you any more! It’s Spring, and you can’t harm me now. Ha, ha, March, you can march right out of here and go to you-know-where!”When March heard that ungrateful way of making fun of him, he felt the anger slowly rising to his head. He was extremely angry, so he ran to his brother April’s house and said:“ O April, dear brother,Lend me three days,I want a shepherd,To change his ways.”

April who was very close to his brother March, gladly lent him the three days. The first thing March did was to go for a whirl around the earth, gathering up all the winds, tempests, and epidemic diseases he could find. Then he unleashed everything he had against the shepherd’s flock. The first day all the lambs were finished off. The third day not a single animal in the entire flock remained alive, and the shepherd was left with only his two eyes to weep with.
