1. Read the part of the poem and do the tasks. [5]

I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud

I wandered lonely as a cloud

That floats on high o’er vales and hills,

When all at once I saw a crowd,

A host, of golden daffodils;

Beside the lake, beneath the trees,

Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine

And twinkle on the milky way,

They stretched in never ending line

Along the margin of a bay:

Ten thousand saw I at a glance,

Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they

Out did the sparkling waves in glee:

A poet could not but be gay,

In such a jocund company:

I gazed-and gazed-but little thought

What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie

In vacant or in pensive mood,

They flash upon that inward eye

Which is the bliss of solitude;

And then my heart with pleasure fills,

And dances with the daffodils. - William Wordsworth

When we reached the place I got out of the car and walked around. There was no girl in sight. Some hundred meters away, a car with dark windows was parked on the other side of the road. On the nearby playground, some boys were playing cricket and a couple of cows

were munching dried hay. I looked at my watch and started pacing up and down the road. I looked at the car and started walking again. The car started and sped away. I again consulted my watch. Ten minutes up: no sign of any girl. I walked to my car, got into it and said. “You see, I was right. There is no one here. The girl you chatted on the internet must have been a fake.”

Next day, at lunch time I retold the whole event to my colleague, Dhurva. “So you think that some bad guy was trying to approach your daughter?” He smiled.

“Why are you laughing?” “Let me tell you why the girl friend of your daughter didn’t appear at the meeting place. It was because her mother came with her in a car before you reached there. The mother was watching if there was really a boy of 13. But all she could see was an old man with a big stomach and a bald head lurking around the meeting place. So she didn’t let her daughter get out of the car. She just drove the car back home.”

Kathmandu hosts Global Animal Conference

December 6, Ryan Chang

Hundreds of experts from the world's leading animal welfare organizations concluded the three-day Asia for Animals Conference in Kathmandu on Tuesday. Held for the first time in Nepal, It drew participants from over 45 countries.

Nepal's own pioneering conservationists and founder of the Chitwan National Park, Hemanta Raj Mishra, opened the conference. "It is encouraging to see that tiger poaching has gone down in recent years, while rhino numbers are increasing by the hundreds," He said.

Heart breaking footage of dogs, cats, and donkeys being mistreated were shown during the sessions, alongside success stories and case studies of community involvement around the world to improve animal welfare. The theme for this year's conference was "Changing Human Behaviour', and indeed that was seen as the key to caring for animals in a meaningful way. Experts emphasized educating local communities across Asia on scientific and humane methods to interact with animals.

Indian environmentalist and historian Nanditha Krishna said: "You cannot succeed by just issuing laws. The only way we can change human behaviour is by going to village by village and talking."

Pramada Shah of Animal Nepal highlighted how Lalitpur and Kathmandu municipalities in Nepal have slowly changed their attitude towards what they used to see as 'stray' dogs. "What we want is a cruelty free society. It's innate in our culture." said Shah. "I'm positive; in this day and age that Nepalis are a progressive people."
