Answer 2

A wise and benevolent king spent his life uniting his kingdoms under his rule. He was a kind and generous ruler who cared for his people and brought them great prosperity. When he was aging, he was afraid his three sons would not carry on his legacy. His sons were petty and thought only of themselves.
One day the king called his three sons together. When they arrived, he handed each of them an arrow. “Each of you has a single arrow in your hands. Break it, if you can,” said the king. And each son easily snapped the arrow in two.
Afterwards, the king handed each son a bundle of three arrows. Each was holding a bundle of three arrows at once. “Now, try and break these bundles of three, if you can,” said the king. None of his sons managed to break a single bundle.
“You are a wise and good king, Father,” his sons said. “We will set aside our differences for the good of the kingdom.” And they did. The kingdom continued in great prosperity.


What is the theme of this passage?

A kingdom is like an arrow, straight and true.
Good rulers should be generous to their people.
Strength in numbers is difficult to overcome.
Sons should follow in their fathers footsteps.

Melvin's mom bought him a pack of underwear for school. They were an expensive brand. She just knew they would last, no matter how many atomic wedgies he got this year. On the first day of school, Melvin's usual bully attempted to give him a wedgie, but the underwear tore below the waistband. Disappointed, the bully walked away. When Melvin came home, his mom was upset because she had spent so much money on his underwear. However, Melvin told her, "They're great, Mom. I don't want any other underwear. The bully will leave me alone if I keep wearing this brand. They are wedgie proof!"

What is the lesson or theme of this story?

Cheap underwear wouldn't have lasted either.
Melvin's mom shouldn't have wasted her money.
Something good can result from something bad.
Pricey underwear should last at least a few years.

My kind has to become accustomed to loneliness. And when one is alone there is nothing to do but study. I became a diligent scholar. I would spend whole days in the Radzymin study house and then pore over religious works at home. Purchasing and renting books from peddlers, I read constantly. It was summertime and the days were long. Reading a story of three brothers, I imagined that I could write, too, and began to cover both sides of a sheet of a paper.
adapted from "A Day of Pleasure" by Isaac Bashevis Singer

Answer 52

Mahesh was the number one singles player on his high school tennis team. On the court, he was unstoppable. He knew how to put wicked topspin on the tennis ball so that it would leap off the court, out of the reach of his opponents. His forehand and backhand were smooth and consistent. His serve was so fast it passed in a blur. All of the younger players looked up to him, and the older players were jealous.
As a junior, Mahesh was undefeated with a 10–0 record. And while his teammates assumed that this was due to discipline and hard work, Mahesh held a different opinion. He credited his lucky wristband.
To his fellow players, the wristband was nothing more than a strange fashion accessory. It was green and featured the number "17" stitched in yellow. They had no idea how important it was to Mahesh.
For six years, Mahesh had worn his lucky wristband to every single one of his tennis matches. And for six years, he had never lost a match. It was there, on his right wrist, appearing in a flash of green with every stroke. It was on his wrist when he stretched, when he practiced, and when he defeated his opponents, one after another. It was Mahesh's secret, a treasured possession that he never, ever forgot to wear . . . until the fateful day of his championship match.
On that day, Mahesh almost lost his mind. He emptied out his duffel bag on the court, searching for the lucky wristband. He retraced his steps to the locker room. He checked the hallway, the bathroom, and the showers. But the wristband was gone.
When the time came for him to play, Mahesh was a wreck. His right wrist felt naked, and he felt sure that he would lose. When it came time for him to serve, he double-faulted, hitting both his first and second serves out of bounds. When he was given an easy overhead volley, he hit it in the net. And when his opponent took the first set 6–4, Mahesh only hung his head.
However, it was during the second set that something changed. All those days of practice and hard work began to pay off. Mahesh regained his serving ability. His backhand and forehand became smooth and consistent once again. And, soon enough, he started to win. He took the second set 6–3, and the last set 6–0. He was now the undefeated champion!

Answer 57

Untying the long tasseled strings that bound a small brown buckskin bag, my mother spread upon a mat beside her bunches of colored beads, just as an artist arranges the paints upon his palette. On a lapboard she smoothed out a double sheet of soft white buckskin; and drawing from a beaded case that hung on the left of her wide belt a long, narrow blade, she trimmed the buckskin into shape. Often she worked upon small moccasins for her small daughter. Then I became intensely interested in her designing. With a proud, beaming face, I watched her work. In imagination, I saw myself walking in a new pair of snugly fitting moccasins. I felt the envious eyes of my playmates upon the pretty red beads decorating my feet.
Close beside my mother I sat on a rug, with a scrap of buckskin in one hand and an awl in the other. This was the beginning of my practical observation lessons in the art of beadwork. From a skein of finely twisted threads of silvery sinews my mother pulled out a single one. With an awl she pierced the buckskin, and skillfully threaded it with the white sinew. Picking up the tiny beads one by one, she strung them with the point of her thread, always twisting it carefully after every stitch.
It took many trials before I learned how to knot my sinew thread on the point of my finger, as I saw her do. Then the next difficulty was in keeping my thread stiffly twisted, so that I could easily string my beads upon it. My mother required of me original designs for my lessons in beading. At first I frequently ensnared many a sunny hour into working a long design. Soon I learned from self-inflicted punishment to refrain from drawing complex patterns, for I had to finish whatever I began.
After some experience I usually drew easy and simple crosses and squares. These were some of the set forms. My original designs were not always symmetrical nor sufficiently characteristic, two faults with which my mother had little patience. The quietness of her oversight made me feel strongly responsible and dependent upon my own judgment. She treated me as a dignified little individual as long as I was on my good behavior; and how humiliated I was when some boldness of mine drew forth a rebuke from her!
In the choice of colors she left me to my own taste. I was pleased with an outline of yellow upon a background of dark blue, or a combination of red and myrtle-green. There was another of red with a bluish-gray that was more conventionally used. When I became a little familiar with designing and the various pleasing combinations of color, a harder lesson was given me. It was the sewing on, instead of beads, some tinted porcupine quills, moistened and flattened between the nails of the thumb and forefinger. My mother cut off the wingspanly ends and burned them at once in the centre fire. These sharp points were poisonous, and worked into the flesh wherever they lodged. For this reason, my mother said, I should not do much alone in quills until I was as tall as my cousin Warca-Ziwin.
