                                     THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH
I first met Private Quelch at the training depot. A man  is liable to acquire in his first week of army life-together with his uniform, rifle and equipment- a nick name. Any one who saw Private Quelch, lanky, stooping, frowning through horn-rimmed spectacles, understood why he was known as the ‘professor’. Those who had any doubts on the subject lost them after five minutes’ conversation with him.

I remember the first lesson we had in musketry. We stood in an attentive circle. The Sergeant, a man as dark  and sun-dried as raisins was describing the mechanism  of a service rifle.

                                                            OR

2.Develop a Lesson Plan to teach the lines from  the poem given below,  to  pupils of

GENERAL, YOUR TANK IS A POWERFUL VEHICLE
                                                                                                                        
General, Your Tank is a Powerful Vehicle
It smashes down forests and crushes a hundred men.
But it has one defect:
It needs a driver.

General, your bomber is powerful.
It flies faster than a storm and carries more than an elephant.
But it has one defect:
It needs a mechanic.

General, man is  very useful.
He can fly and he can kill.
But he has one defect:
He can think.
