    1. Madhu enjoyed eating various types of food. He loved trying different kinds of fruits and savouries.

    2. The story does not provide explicit information about the old man having magical powers. However, the fact that he was able to grant Madhu a wish from the tree might suggest some sort of extraordinary ability.

    3. The tree asked Madhu to ‘think over’ his wish because it wanted Madhu to consider all his needs before making a wish. This is evident when Madhu, after wishing for only food, finds himself in need of water.

    4. Madhu ate a variety of foods. Some of the things he ate include bananas, mangoes, apples, grapes, jackfruit, melons, guavas, oranges, ladus, mathri, samosa, lemon soda, potato chips, and udad papad.

    1. Yes, I’ve had hiccups before!

    2. When I get hiccups, I usually try to drink a glass of water slowly or hold my breath for a few seconds. Sometimes, I might ask someone for a funny trick to help get rid of them.

    3. Water is super important because our bodies need it to stay healthy and work properly. It helps us digest food, stay hydrated, and even keeps our skin nice. Plus, plants and animals also need water to live.

    4. If I were Madhu, I might wish for something fun like a magic wand that could grant wishes or a pet dinosaur to play with. It would be cool to have something special like that to make life more exciting!

    1. The Sun doesn’t actually “go” anywhere. It appears to set in the evening due to the Earth’s rotation. As the Earth rotates, different parts of the world experience daylight and darkness, giving us day and night.

    2. Among the options provided:
    a) Sunflower: Sunflowers need the Sun because they are plants, and like all plants, they undergo photosynthesis—a process that converts light energy, usually from the Sun, into chemical energy in the form of glucose or food for the plant.
    b) Toys: Toys do not need the Sun to function unless they are solar-powered.
    c) Plants: Similar to sunflowers, all plants need sunlight for photosynthesis to produce their food.
    d) Table: A table does not need the Sun to function. However, sunlight can affect the colour and longevity of the material if it is exposed for long periods.
    e) Children: Children (and all humans) also benefit from sunlight as it helps in vitamin D synthesis which is essential for bone health and immune system function.

    3. When you look up at the sky besides seeing the Sun you might also see clouds of various shapes and sizes, birds flying by or perhaps even an airplane or two if you’re near a flight path. At night, you might see the moon and stars twinkling in the sky.

    1. During sunrise and sunset, we see the sky turning into beautiful colours like orange, pink, red, and purple. It’s like a painting in the sky!

    2. At night, when I look up at the sky, I see lots of twinkling stars. Sometimes I can also see the bright moon shining or other planets far away.

    3. When I wake up in the morning, I feel ready for a new day of fun and adventure. It’s like a fresh beginning!

    4. Imagine if one day the Sun didn’t come out. It would be colder and darker than usual. Plants might miss the sunlight they need, and animals might stay hidden. We would have to use more lights to see, and it would feel like a mysterious day without the warm Sun.

    1. No, the moon doesn’t look the same every night. It changes its shape in the sky as the days go by, which we call its different phases.

    2. Chanda Mama tried to count all the stars shining brightly in the sky.

    3. Chanda Mama got tired and fell asleep because counting all the stars was a big job!

    4. The Sun kindly helped Chanda Mama by revealing the number of stars in the sky.

    5. The story compares the number of stars in the sky to the number of lovely children on Earth. This means there are so many stars in the sky, just like there are countless wonderful children on our planet. It helps us understand how vast the universe is, using a fun way that kids can relate to.
