Class 6 English (Honeysuckle Book) Chapter 3 – Taro’s Reward

A japanese story retold.

This story is based on morality which  talks about a caring and loving son who worked hard to take care of his parents and in return, receives unexpected help from nature. Its objective is to inculcate habits like love for parents and hard work in the children.

A young boy lived with his parents on a hillside. He was a woodcutter. He used to work very hard to take good care of his parents and to fulfill their wishes. One day, they were sitting in their cottage and his father felt very cold. He expressed a wish to get a cup of saké which would help him beat the chilly cold wave.

Taro got up earlier than his routine time and worked harder even after sunrise. Hard work made him thirsty and he started sweating. Suddenly, he heard a sound. This was the sound of the rushing water. He rushed to the direction of the sound. When he reached the waterfall, he bent to have water and was surprised on drinking it. The water was very tasty just like saké. 

He thought of giving this to his father as well. So he filled a pot and took it home.

His father felt very delighted and happy to have it. His shivering stopped with the very first sip. On the same day a lady from the neighbourhood visited him. He gave the saké to her also and shared the story of magic waterfall. She spread the story in the whole village. In the evening, all the villagers visited the old man to hear the story and to taste the saké. As a result, the pitcher was empty.

Next day, Taro got up even earlier to get the saké, carrying the largest bucket he had with him. But surprisingly, all the villagers were already there. One of the villagers bent to have it and he started having it again and again. After sometime, he told that it is not saké, rather water only. Everyone felt angry and wanted to drown Taro in that waterfall. But Taro was a wise boy. He hid himself and waited till everyone left the place. At last, when everyone was gone, he came out and checked the water. It was the same fine saké. He felt happy and noticed that waterfall was  giving water to the villagers and saké to him alone.

This story also reached the Emperor. He rewarded the boy to encourage other children to take care of their parents.

एक छोटा लड़का अपने माता-पिता के साथ एक पहाड़ी पर रहता था। वह एक लकड़हारा था। वह अपने माता-पिता की अच्छी देखभाल करने और उनकी इच्छाओं को पूरा करने के लिए बहुत मेहनत करता था। एक दिन वे अपनी कुटिया में बैठे थे और उनके पिता को बहुत ठंड लगी। उन्होंने एक प्याला साके (राइस वाइन) पीने की इच्छा व्यक्त की जो उन्हें ठंडी शीत लहर से बचने में मदद करती।

तारो अपने नियमित समय से पहले उठ जाता था और सूर्योदय के बाद भी अधिक मेहनत करता था। कड़ी मेहनत ने उसे प्यासा बना दिया और उसे पसीना आने लगा। अचानक उसे एक आवाज सुनाई दी। यह बहते पानी की आवाज थी। वह आवाज की दिशा में दौड़ा। जब वह झरने के पास पहुंचा तो पानी पीने के लिए झुक गया और उसे पीकर हैरान रह गया। साके की तरह ही पानी बहुत स्वादिष्ट था। उसने इसे अपने पिता को भी देने की सोची। इसलिए उसने एक घड़ा भर लिया और उसे घर ले आया।

उसके पिता इसे पीकर बहुत प्रसन्न हुए। पहले घूंट के साथ ही उनका कांपना बंद हो गया। उसी दिन पड़ोस की एक महिला उन से मिलने आई। उसने उसे भी साके दिया और जादुई झरने की कहानी सांझा की। उसने पूरे गांव में कहानी फैला दी। शाम को, सभी ग्रामीण कहानी सुनने और स्वाद चखने के लिए बूढ़े व्यक्ति के पास गए। नतीजतन, घड़ा खाली था।अगले दिन, तारो अपने साथ सबसे बड़ी बाल्टी लेकर साके लेने के लिए और भी पहले उठ गया। लेकिन हैरानी की बात यह है कि वहां सभी ग्रामीण पहले से मौजूद थे। ग्रामीणों में से एक इसे लेने के लिए झुक गया और उसने इसे बार-बार लेना शुरू कर दिया। कुछ देर बाद उन्होंने बताया कि यह साके नहीं, बल्कि पानी ही है। सभी को गुस्सा आया और उन्होंने तारो को उस झरने में डुबाना चाहा।

लेकिन तारो एक बुद्धिमान लड़का था। वह छिप गया और सभी के जाने का इंतजार करने लगा। आखिर में जब सब चले गए तो उन्होंने बाहर आकर झरने का पानी चेक किया। यह वही बढ़िया साके था। वह खुश हुआ और उसने देखा कि झरना ग्रामीणों को पानी दे रहा है और अकेले उसे ही साके दे रहा है। यह कहानी बादशाह तक भी पहुँची। उन्होंने अन्य बच्चों को अपने माता-पिता की देखभाल करने के लिए प्रोत्साहित करने के लिए तारो को पुरस्कृत किया। Top

Passage: A YOUNG woodcutter named Taro lived with his mother and father on a lonely hillside. All day long he chopped wood in the forest. Though he worked very hard, he earned very little money. This made him sad, for he was a thoughtful son and wanted to give his old parents everything they needed.

Passage: One evening, when Taro and his parents were sitting in a corner of their hut, a strong wind began to blow. It whistled through the cracks of the hut and everyone felt very cold. Suddenly, Taro’s father said, “I wish I had a cup of saké; it would warm me and do my old heart good.”

Word Meaning whistled through: passed through with a whistling sound cracks: narrow gaps/openings saké : a popular Japanese drink (‘sa’ is pronounced like ‘fa’ in ‘father’ and ‘ke’ rhymes with ‘way’)

Passage – This made Taro sadder than ever, for the heart-warming drink called saké was very expensive. ‘How do I earn more money?’ he asked himself. ‘How do I get a little saké for my poor old father?’ He decided to work harder than before.

Word Meaning expensive: costly

Explanation of the Passage – The drink was very costly and his inability to buy the drink made him sadder. It bothered Taro all the more. He decided to work harder so that he can get a little saké for his father.

Passage – Next morning, Taro jumped out of bed earlier than usual and made his way to the forest. He chopped and cut, chopped and cut as the sun climbed, and soon he was so warm that he had to take off his jacket. His mouth was dry, and his face was wet with sweat. ‘My poor old father!’ He  thought.  ‘If only he was as warm as I!’ And with that he began to chop even faster, thinking of the extra money he must earn to buy the saké to warm the old man’s bones.

Word Meaning made his way to: went to usual : routine take off : put off suddenly climbed : to come up

Explanation of the Passage – Next day, Taro got up earlier than his usual routine and went to the forest to work. There he kept cutting the wood even after sunrise.

And with that thought, he began to chop at a faster speed. His intention was to earn more money so that he could arrange a saké to warm his father’s bones.

Passage – Then suddenly, Taro stopped chopping. What was that sound he heard? Could it be, could it possibly be rushing water? Taro could not remember ever seeing or hearing a rushing stream in that part of the forest. He was thirsty. The axe dropped out of his hands and he ran in the direction of the sound.

Passage – Taro saw a beautiful little waterfall hidden behind a rock. Kneeling at a place where the water flowed quietly, he cupped a little in his hands and put it to his lips. Was it water? Or was it saké? He tasted it again and again, and always it was the delicious saké instead of cold water.

So he drank it again and again to check whether it is water or saké. Every time he drank water he felt as if it was not cold water, rather delicious saké .

Passage – Taro quickly filled the pitcher he had with him and hurried home. The old man was delighted with the saké. After only one swallow of the liquid he stopped shivering and did a little dance in the middle of the floor.

Word Meaning pitcher: a pot usually made of mud swallow: to gulp down delighted : to feel happy shivering: shaking slightly

Then Taro told her the story of the magic  waterfall. Thanking them for the delicious drink, she left in a hurry. By nightfall she had spread the story.

Word Meaning greedily: as if desiring more politely : softly

Explanation of the Passage –   That very afternoon, a lady from the neighbourhood visited them. Taro’s father gave her a cup of the saké in a courteous manner. She drank it greedily. Taro’s father also shared the story of magic waterfall with her. Thanking them for the delicious drink, she left hurriedly and by night she had spread the story to the whole village.

Passage – That evening there was a long procession of visitors to the woodcutter’s house. Each man heard the story of the waterfall, and took a sip of the saké. In less than an hour the pitcher was empty.

Passage – Next morning, Taro started for work even earlier than the morning before. He carried with him the largest pitcher he owned, for he intended first of all to go to the waterfall. When he reached it, he found to his great surprise all his neighbours there. They were carrying pitchers, jars, buckets — anything they could find to hold the magic saké. Then one villager knelt and held his mouth under the waterfall to drink. He drank again and again, and then shouted angrily, “Water! Nothing but water!” Others also tried, but there was no saké, only cold water.

Word Meaning intended: planned

Explanation of the Passage –   Next day, Taro started for work even earlier and carried the largest pitcher he had. He wanted to reach the waterfall first of all. But he was surprised to see that all his neighbours were already there with their pots and jars to have the magic saké. But when one villager bent to have water from the waterfall, he drank it repeatedly and informed everyone angrily that it was just water and nothing else. Hearing this, other villagers also tasted it and they also found it to be only cold water and not Saké.

Passage – “We have been tricked!” shouted the villagers. “Where is Taro? Let us drown him in this waterfall.” But Taro had been wise enough to slip behind a rock when he saw how things were going. He was nowhere to be found. 

Word Meaning tricked: deceived muttering: speaking unclearly

Explanation of the Passage – The villagers felt deceived and wanted to drown Taro in the waterfall. But Taro was a wise boy. He hid himself at the back of a rock. People couldn’t find him.

Passage – Muttering their anger and disappointment, the villagers left the place one by one. Taro came out from his hiding place. Was it true, he wondered? Was the saké a dream? Once more he caught a little liquid in his hand and put it to his lips. It was the same fine saké. To the thoughtful son, the magic waterfall gave the delicious saké. To everyone else, it gave only cold water.

Word Meaning Muttering: whisper, murmur

Explanation of the Passage –   Disappointed, the villagers left the place one by one. When all were gone,Taro came out and wondered,  he checked the water and to his surprise, it was that same fine saké only. It meant that magic waterfall gave saké to Taro only and to other people, plain water.

Passage – The story of Taro and his magic waterfall reached the Emperor of Japan. He sent for the young woodcutter, and rewarded him with twenty pieces of gold for having been so good and kind. Then he named the most beautiful fountain in the city after Taro. This, said the Emperor, was to encourage all children to honour and obey their parents.

Word Meaning sent for: called Encourage: to motivate

Explanation of the Passage – This story reached the emperor of Japan. He called the young woodcutter and rewarded him with 20 pieces of gold for being good and kind to his parents. Not only this, he also named the most beautiful fountain in the city after Taro’s name. It is said that the Emperor wanted to motivate all the children to obey their parents through Taro’s story.   Top

Taros Reward Summary in English  

Taro is a young woodcutter who lives with his old parents on a lonely hillside. He does not earn a lot from his work, so it upsets him to not be able to give his parents a better life. One day, it was quite old and his father wished to have a cup of sake.

This upsets Taro even more because he feels he cannot afford an expensive cup of sake. Nonetheless, he decides to wake up the next morning earlier than usual. So, he does and goes to the forest.

Taro starts chopping up wood and keeps doing it for a long time. Even though his mouth becomes very dry and he starts feeling thirsty, he continues to keep chopping up the wood non-stop.

All of a sudden, he hears a sound of water falling from nearby. He stops his work as he has never heard or seen rushing water somewhere near. As he is thirsty, he runs into the direction of the sound.

Upon reaching there, he discovers a small yet stunning waterfall. He starts to drink the liquid only to realize that it is not water but sake. Excited, he starts filling a pitcher with it and heads home hurriedly.

On seeing a pitcher full of sake, his father gets very happy. He takes one sip and stops shivering. After that, the old man starts dancing to express his happiness. On the same day, a visitor from the village comes to their house.

They offer him the sake and tell her about the magical waterfall. Thus, the story starts to spread all around the village. Everyone from the surrounding villages starts visiting Taro and the pitcher empties in half an hour.

Next morning, all the villager rush to the magical waterfall, even before Taro. However, it tastes nothing like sake but simple cold water. This angers them and they all wish to drown Taro for spreading lies and cheating them.

Taro hides in the forest to escape the wrath of the villagers. When they leave, he goes again to taste the liquid and it still tasted like good old fine sake. Thus, it becomes clear that the magical waterfall offered sake only to Taro.

That is why others only tasted the water. It was obvious, God wanted Taro to have the privilege of being a thoughtful son. The emperor also learns about Taro and he rewards him with twenty pieces of gold .

Further, he also named the beautiful fountain of the city after Taro. Through this, he wished to encourage all children to honour and always be obedient towards their parents.

Conclusion of Taros Reward Summary

Taros Reward Summary teaches us to be respectful and honour our parents all the time. Ultimately, we will be rewarded for our good deeds.

Taro was a young woodcutter who lived at a lonely place on the hillside. He used to work hard in the forest but earned a little money for his work. He was not happy with his earnings and wanted to earn more because he was a caring son and wanted to fulfil the wishes of his parents. One evening when Taro ad his old parents were sitting in their hut, a strong wind blew. It entered the hut through the cracks and they felt cold. Taro’s father wished for a cup of saké.

This made Taro feel very sad because saké was a costly drink and he could not afford it for his father. He decided to earn more money to get saké for his old father.

The next morning, he got up earlier than usual and went to the forest. He kept on chopping the trees for a long time in the forest. His mouth became dry and he started feeling thirsty but he continued to chop trees because he wanted to earn more money to buy a cup of saké for his father.

Suddenly, he stopped chopping the trees because he heard the sound of water. He had never heard or seen a stream of water flowing in that part of the forest. He was thirsty so the axe dropped out of his hands and he ran in the direction of the sound.

He found a little waterfall hidden behind the rock. He bent down on his knees and drank the liquid. He was surprised to find out it was saké instead of water. Taro filled the pitcher he had with saké and went home quickly. His father was happy to have saké. He took a sip of saké and stopped shivering.

On the same day, they had a visitor from the neighbourhood. They offered her sake and Taro told her about the magical waterfall. The lady left their home in a hurry and spread the story of the magical waterfall in the whole village.

In the evening all the people of the village gathered at Taro’s home. All of them heard the story of the magical waterfall and took a sip of saké and the pitcher empties in half an hour.

The next morning Taro left for work earlier than the day before. He took the largest pitcher he had and he planned to bring saké in it. When he reached the waterfall, he was surprised to see all his neighbours were already there to hold the magical saké. Then one villager tastes the liquid and found it was cold water and not saké. This angers them and they all wish to drown Taro for spreading lies and cheating them. Taro escaped from the place by hiding in the forests.

The villagers left the place in anger and disappointment. Taro came out of his hiding place and went to the waterfall. He again tastes the liquid and found it was the same saké. The magical waterfall offered saké to the thoughtful son and water to other villagers.

The story of Taro and his magical waterfall reached the Emperor of Japan. He called the young woodcutter and rewarded him with twenty pieces of gold for his goodness and kindness. Further, he also named the beautiful fountain of the city after Taro. Through this, he wished to encourage all children to honour and always be obedient towards their parents.

Taro’s Reward Class 6 Summary in Hindi

टैरो एक युवा लकड़हारा था जो पहाड़ी पर एक सुनसान जगह पर रहता था। वह जंगल में कड़ी मेहनत करता था लेकिन अपने काम के लिए थोड़ा पैसा कमाता था। वह अपनी कमाई से खुश नहीं था और अधिक कमाना चाहता था क्योंकि वह एक देखभाल करने वाला बेटा था और अपने माता-पिता की इच्छाओं को पूरा करना चाहता था। एक शाम जब टैरो विज्ञापन उसके बूढ़े माता-पिता अपनी झोपड़ी में बैठे थे, एक तेज हवा चली। यह दरारों के माध्यम से झोपड़ी में घुस गया और उन्हें ठंड लग रही थी। टैरो के पिता ने एक कप सेक की कामना की।

इससे टैरो को बहुत दुख हुआ क्योंकि की एक महंगा पेय था और वह अपने पिता के लिए इसे वहन नहीं कर सकता था। उसने अपने बूढ़े पिता की खातिर और पैसे कमाने का फैसला किया।

अगली सुबह, वह सामान्य से पहले उठा और जंगल में चला गया। वह काफी देर तक जंगल में पेड़ों को काटते रहा। उसका मुंह सूख गया और उसे प्यास लगने लगी लेकिन उसने पेड़ काटना जारी रखा क्योंकि वह अपने पिता के लिए एक प्याला सेक खरीदने के लिए और पैसा कमाना चाहता था।

पानी की आवाज सुनकर अचानक उसने पेड़ों को काटना बंद कर दिया। उसने जंगल के उस हिस्से में बहते पानी की धारा न तो कभी सुनी थी और न ही देखी थी। वह प्यासा था इसलिए उसके हाथ से कुल्हाड़ी छूट गई और वह आवाज की दिशा में भाग गया।

उसे चट्टान के पीछे एक छोटा सा झरना छिपा हुआ मिला। वह अपने घुटनों पर झुक गया और तरल पी लिया। वह यह जानकर हैरान रह गया कि यह पानी की जगह सेक है। टैरो ने सेक को घड़े में भर दिया और जल्दी से घर चला गया। उनके पिता सेक पाकर खुश थे। उन्होंने सेक का एक घूंट लिया और कांपना बंद कर दिया।

उसी दिन, उनके घर पड़ोस से एक आगंतुक था। उन्होंने उसकी सेक पेशकश की और टैरो ने उसे जादुई झरने के बारे में बताया। महिला ने आनन-फानन में अपना घर छोड़ दिया और जादुई झरने की कहानी पूरे गांव में फैला दी।

शाम को गांव के सभी लोग टैरो के घर पर जमा हो गए। उन सभी ने जादुई झरने की कहानी सुनी और सेक का एक एक घूंट लिया और घड़ा आधे घंटे में खाली हो गया।

अगली सुबह टैरो पहले दिन की तुलना में काम पर जल्दी निकल गया। उसने अपने साथ सबसे बड़ा घड़ा लिया और उसमें सेक लाने की योजना बनाई। जब वह झरने पर पहुंचा, तो वह यह देखकर हैरान रह गया कि उसके सभी पड़ोसी पहले से ही जादुई सेक को पकड़ने के लिए वहां मौजूद थे। फिर एक ग्रामीण ने तरल का स्वाद चखा और पाया कि यह ठंडा पानी है न कि सेक। इससे वे नाराज हो जाते हैं और वे सभी टैरो को झूठ फैलाने और उन्हें धोखा देने के लिए डुबो देना चाहते हैं। टैरो जंगलों में छिपकर वहां से भाग निकला।

ग्रामीण गुस्से और मायूसी में वहां से चले गए। टैरो अपने छिपने के स्थान से निकल कर झरने के पास गया। उसने फिर से तरल का स्वाद चखा और पाया कि यह वही सेक था। जादुई झरने ने विचारशील बेटे को सेक और अन्य ग्रामीणों को पानी दिया।

टैरो और उसके जादुई झरने की कहानी जापान के सम्राट तक पहुंची। उसने युवा लकड़हारे को बुलाया और उसकी भलाई और दयालुता के लिए उसे बीस सोने के सिक्के दिए। इसके अलावा, उन्होंने टैरो के नाम पर शहर के खूबसूरत फव्वारे का नाम भी रखा। इसके माध्यम से उन्होंने सभी बच्चों को अपने माता-पिता के प्रति सम्मान और हमेशा आज्ञाकारी रहने के लिए प्रोत्साहित करने की कामना की।

a.      Like Patrick in the story ‘Who Did Patrick’s Homework’, Taro is helped by magic. Do you believe in magic? What are the magical things that happen in these stories?

b.     Which story do you like better, and why? Do you know such stories in other languages? Discuss these questions in class.

3. Now write a paragraph or two about these two stories, comparing them.

1. “All day long he chopped wood in the forest. Though he worked very hard, he earned very little money. This made him sad, for he was a thoughtful son and wanted to give his old parents everything they needed.”

“But Taro had been wise enough to slip behind a rock when he saw how things were going.”

a.      Yes, I believe in magic. But I also know that it is a matter of playing tricks that require practice. In Patrick’s story, there is an elf that helps him to do his homework.

b.     Honestly speaking, I do like both the stories as they are interesting and have a hint of magic in them.

(For the second part of the question, please attempt by yourself).

Patrick asks the little man to do his homework until the end of his semester and the elf complies with it. This is a very natural story of all students who hate homework and want someone else to complete their pending work.

On the contrary, “Taro’s Reward” is the story of a young and hardworking woodcutter who is a thoughtful son to his parents. He tries his best to keep his parents happy and even God favours his thoughtfulness and rewards him. A magical waterfall offers saké instead of plain water for his old father to drink. This story has a moral lesson that hard work always pays off and that we should always respect and obey our parents who sacrifice so much for our sake.

Taro’s Reward Class 6 Short Summary & Explanation in English

Back to: CBSE Class 6 English Summary & Notes

Table of Contents

Introduction

This chapter tells the story of a young boy named Taro and the magical waterfall he finds. Taro works hard to fulfil the wishes of his poor parents and he is rewarded in the end. 

Taro lived with his old parents in a secluded hut on the hillside. He was a poor but hardworking woodcutter. He was also a caring son. He wished to fulfil all the wishes of his mother and father, but his earnings were not enough to do so. 

One cold evening, Taro’s father expressed his wish to have some saké in order to feel warm. But the family was too poor to be able to afford the expensive drink. Taro felt sad and resolved to work harder in order to earn more. 

As he began to drink from the waterfall to quench his thirst, he found that the liquid was not plain water, but saké. Elated at his discovery of the magical waterfall, he took a pitcherful of the fine wine to his father.

After the disappointed villagers left, Taro tasted the liquid again and found it to be the same fine saké from the previous day. On hearing about this miracle, the Emperor of Japan was impressed by the boy’s dedication and rewarded him with twenty pieces of gold. This brought happiness and fulfilment in Taro’s life. 

This is the story of the magical waterfall that not only gave Taro a gift of fine wine, but also earned him the reward of valuable gold from the Emperor. This is because the world rewards only those who are honest and loving. It proves that the virtues of honesty and hard work are always rewarded.

Taro quickly filled his pitcher with that water and took it home. His father also drank it and found it heart warming and tasty like sake. He also offered it to an old lady who had come to visit them and also told her the story of the magic waterfall. Soon the news spread throughout the neighbourhood.

Next morning again Taro set out to work early but, on reaching the forest he found a long queue of people who were filling their pitchers. They were soon disappointed because the water did not taste like ‘sake’. It was plain water. They all were looking for Taro so that they could drown him in the waterfall for cheating them. Taro hid behind a rock and saved himself. When the villagers left the place, Taro came out of hiding place and again tasted the water. To him it again tasted as heart warming and delicious as sake.

The story of Taro and the magical fountain reached the king of Japan. The king rewarded Taro for being good and kind to his parents. He named the most beautiful fountain after Taro. The king also wanted all children to love, respect and obey their parents.

• How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck would chuck wood.
• Betty bought a bit of butter, but the bit of butter was a little bitter so she bought some better butter to make the bitter butter better.

Answer: Do it yourself in the classroom.

• …. for he was a thoughtful son and wanted to give his old parents everything they needed. (Para 1)
• Though he worked very hard, he earned very little money. (Para 1)
• But Taro had been wise enough to slip behind a rock…………….. (Para 11)

Answer: My parents say there is no such thing as magic. It is all a matter of playing tricks. But I agree with the elders only partly. Magic is not all sleight of hand or mesmerism. There is some supernatural agency that carries out the tricks. In the case of Patrick, there was an elf or small man. He was not one like us. In the case of Taro, there appears a waterfall behind the rocks. Secondly, its water tasted like sake. These were magical things.

Answer: Truly speaking, I like both the stories because both are interesting and educative. Secondly, both have a touch of magic. Still, Patrick’s story is better than Taro’s. Patrick learns to do homework unknowingly.

Answer: Who did Patrick’s Homework is, in my opinion, better than ‘Taro’s Reward.’. Patrick hated homework. He played hockey and basketball instead. This was something quite natural. All children find doing homework boring and dull. Taro, on the other hand, was a thoughtful, wise and hardworking boy. He was just the opposite of Patrick. Even God favours and rewards such a boy. A magical waterfall gave him an intoxicating drink for his old father. Both the stories teach us lessons.

Answer: The three boys are talking about their problems. One finds swimming more difficult than driving. The second disagrees with his view. He thinks that swimming much less difficult than driving. But the third boy says that learning English is much more difficult than swimming and driving.

Answer: The most interesting - watching TV, dancing, listening to music Dullest - knitting, sewing, learning languages Most dangerous - mountain climbing Safest - walking, stamp collecting Most rewarding - reading, painting, cooking, fishing Most exciting - swimming, playing football

Note: This is just an example, your answer can vary.

Question 1. Write against each two new words that rhyme with it.

• bed - shed, led
• wax - axe, fax
• fast - last, cast
• chop - cop, flop
• young - among, tongue

• How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck would chuck wood?
• Betty bought a bit of butter, but the bit of butter was a little bitter so she bought some better butter to make the bitter butter better.

Do it yourself.

B. 1. The story ‘Taro’s Reward’ shows that Taro is thoughtful, hardworking and also wise. Read aloud the parts of story that show these qualities in Taro.

Thoughtful: Taro, a poor woodcutter, earned very little money despite his hard work. He could not buy his old father the saké he longed for. Taro felt great sorrow over this. His father had always been kind to him, and he wanted very much to give him what he wanted.

Hardworking: So Taro decided to work harder than before. Early the next morning he jumped out of bed earlier than usual, ready for work. He began to chop even faster. He hoped he would be able to earn more money by working harder and longer each day.

Wise: He tasted the water. To his great surprise, he found it deliciously sweet. He quickly filled the pitcher he had brought with him and hurried home. His father drank the saké and was so delighted with it that he danced for joy. Taro’s wisdom in solving the problem without seeking conventional wealth showed his intelligence and practical wisdom.

• Like Patrick in the story ‘Who Did Patrick’s Homework’, Taro is helped by magic. Do you believe in magic? What are the magical things that happen in these stories?
• Which story do you like better, and why? Do you know such stories in other languages? Discuss these questions in class.
• Belief in magic varies from person to person. While some might view magic as a metaphor for unexpected and wonderful events, others may see it as purely fictional. Personally, I view magical elements in stories as a creative way to solve problems and add intrigue. In “Who Did Patrick’s Homework,” the magic happens when Patrick’s cat turns into an elf who helps him complete his homework over several weeks. In “Taro’s Reward,” the magic is in the mysteriously sweet water Taro finds, which appears to reward his dedication and hard work by turning into sake when he takes it home.
• I prefer “Taro’s Reward” because it promotes the values of hard work, perseverance, and filial piety. Taro’s dedication to his father and his resolve to solve his problems through his own efforts make the magical reward a symbol of his virtue and hard work, which I find very inspiring. Yes, many cultures have stories where characters receive magical assistance. For instance, in many Indian folk tales, gods and goddesses intervene in the lives of devout and hardworking individuals, granting them boons or helping them in times of need. Similarly, many European fairy tales involve magical creatures like fairies and elves who assist the protagonists.

3. Now write a paragraph or two about these two stories, comparing them.

In the stories “Who Did Patrick’s Homework” and “Taro’s Reward,” both protagonists experience magical interventions that help them overcome their challenges, yet the nature of their struggles and the assistance they receive differ significantly, reflecting diverse themes and morals.

“Who Did Patrick’s Homework” centers on Patrick, a boy who dislikes homework. His life takes a magical turn when a tiny elf, originally his cat, becomes obliged to help him with his homework for a season. This magical assistance, though seemingly a shortcut to his woes, teaches Patrick valuable lessons about diligence and the importance of education, as he works alongside the elf. The story humorously explores themes of responsibility and the unexpected benefits of initially unwelcome tasks.

On the other hand, “Taro’s Reward” follows a more traditional moral trajectory common in folklore. Taro, a diligent and filial son, works tirelessly to fulfill his aging father’s simple wish for a taste of sake. His discovery of a magical source of delicious water, which transforms into sake when brought home, serves as a direct reward for his perseverance and kindness. Unlike Patrick’s grudging acceptance of his tasks, Taro’s story emphasizes virtuous qualities leading to deserved magical rewards.

Class 6 English Chapter 3 Summary

The story of Taro’s Reward is about a young woodcutter named Taro who lives with his aged parents in an old hut. One evening, his father wishes for an expensive drink called saké, but Taro doesn’t have enough money to buy it. So, he decides to work harder. The next day, he discovers a waterfall whose water tastes like saké. He brings some of it to his father to drink, and his father’s health improves after drinking the magic saké. The story of the magic saké spreads around the village, and everyone visits Taro’s house to taste it. When Taro goes back to the waterfall the next morning, all his neighbors are there to take home the saké. But the waterfall gives only plain and cold water to them. When Taro tastes it, it is the delicious saké. The Emperor of Japan hears about the incident and rewards Taro with 20 gold coins and names the waterfall after him.
