    Bringing up Kari NCERT Text Book Questions and Answers

    Answer the following questions:

    Question 1.
    The enclosure in which Kari lived had a thatched roof that lay on thick tree stumps.
    Examine the illustration of Kari’s pavilion and say why it was built that way.
    Answer:
    Pavilion was built on a thick tree stem so that Kari would not fall on bumping against
    the poles.

    Question 2.
    Did Kari enjoy his morning bath in the river ? Give a reason for your answer.
    Answer:
    We can say that Kari enjoyed his bath as he lay down on the sand bank while the
    narrator rubbed him with clean sand. However, when the narrator rubbed him with
    water, he squealed with pleasure.

    Question 3.
    Finding good twigs for Kari took a long time. Why?
    Answer:
    It took a long time to find twigs for Kari because if the twig is mutilated, Kari would
    not touch it. That is why the narrator had to climb all kinds of trees to get delicate and
    tender twigs.

    Question 4.
    Why did Kari push his friend into the stream ?
    Answer:
    Kari had pushed his friend into the stream because a boy was lying flat on the
    bottom of the river. Kari had tried to save the boy and ultimately he was successful.

    Question 5.
    Kari was like a baby. What are the main points of comparison ?
    Answer:
    Kari was like a baby and he had to be trained to be good. He did a lot of mischief.
    Like a child he played pranks, and took away all the fruits kept on the plate.

    Question 6.
    Kari helped himself to all the bananas in the house without anyone noticing it. How
    did he do it?
    Answer:
    Kari after tasting ripe bananas, developed a taste for these. He was quite a cunning
    baby elephant. Now, apparently by making his trunk appear like a black snake, he
    would take away all the fruits.
    Question 7.
    Kari learnt the commands to sit and to walk. What were the instructions for each
    command ?
    Answer:
    Kari was taught to sit down, to walk, go slow, etc. The instruction given for sitting
    down was ‘Dhat’ and then Kari was pulled by the ear. It took Kari three weeks to
    learn ‘Dhať. The instruction given for walking was Mali’ and his trunk was pulled
    forward. This was a signal to walk forward. Kari learnt ‘Mali’ after three lessons.

    Question 8.
    What is ‘the master call? Why is it the most important signal for an elephant to learn?
    Answer:
    Master call is a kind of strange hissing, howling sound. The sound appears as if a
    snake and a tiger are fighting. This call makes you get out of a jungle when
    everything is dark except stars in the sky. This call makes an elephant pull down the
    trees so that the animals are frightened.
