Paraphrasing Stanza No.03
In these lines of the poem, the poetess Mary
Lisle, says that in the woods, the sun and the shadows replace each other
throughout the day. It is like the sun and shadows play hide and seek with one
another. The shadows in the woods increase during the day but when the night
comes, the multiplying shadows turn to one shadow.
Paraphrasing Stanza No.04
In these lines of the poem, the poetess Mary
Lisle, says that the trees have been cut down and because of it, the sweet
conversation among the branches of the trees has also ended. The pine trees
have been cut down to make posts that will be used in making a fence along the
stream.
Paraphrasing Stanza No.05
In these lines of the poem, the poetess Mary
Lisle, says that the naked trunks of the trees lie under the sunlight in
miserable conditions. They are of no use except for providing a haunting place
for the ghosts. A bird that made a nest in the trees will not be able to find
its nest because the trees have been cut down.

good human being in the real sense of the word.

ESSAY WRITING
A RIVER IN FLOOD
سیلاب کی تباہ
کاریاں
Floods are very common in Pakistan. They usually occur
during the rainy seasons, due to heavy rains in the hills the rivers are in
space. A river in flood is a source of trouble for all. It plays with the life
and property of the people. Crops are destroyed, animals are washed away and
killed, and people lose their lives.
Due to the continuous and heavy rains, the
river Indus was in fierce overflowed its banks and flooded low lying areas. The
water crossed the danger mark. The water was raging in fury. The current was
very strong.
A warning was given to the people to vacate
the villages. But there was no time to remove the goods. The people were in
trouble. They at once made for the places of safety. Still many were caught in
the flood.
The flood water surrounded the villages. Our
village was worst hit. Mud houses began to crumble. Even the bricked ones
suffered heavy damage. Many heads of cattle were washed away. There was knee
deep water everywhere. The villagers assembled at a safe place. A common meal
was prepared. Our village looked like an island. It was cut off from the rest
of the country. Punjab and Sindh suffered a lot during this flood.
The government came tour rescue. Relief squad
parties came to our village southern Punjab. They carried us on boats to safe
places. They even gave us medicines and food.
When the water receded, the people returned
to their villages. There was destruction all around. Animals were lying dead.
Crops were ruined. Malaria soon broke out which took a heavy tool of lives. The
government rendered all help to make our lives safe. There was a great loss of
life and property.
It is a pity that even more than half a
century after independence, Pakistan has not so far been able to establish any
set policy for controlling floods. Millions of rupees set apart for flood
control are actually pocketed by the corrupt officials. Last week, it rained
very heavily in this part of the country. All the rivers, canals, lakes and
even streets were flooded.
