Q5. Why did animals eat the stag’s grass? (2 marks)

Q6. How can we save nature’s gifts? (2 marks)
Ans: We can save nature’s gifts by taking only what we need. Share things like water, food, or plants with others. Don’t take too much, so everyone has enough. This keeps nature safe and happy.

Q7. Why is taking too much bad? (2 marks)
Ans: Taking too much is bad because it leaves less for others. If we take all the food or water, others cannot use it, which can harm people, animals, and nature. Sharing ensures fairness and makes everyone happy.

Q8. How did animals fix their mistake? (3 marks)
Ans: The animals fixed their mistake by stopping eating the stag’s grass. They went to find food somewhere else so the stag could have enough to eat. Some animals brought fresh leaves for him. When it rained, the grass grew back. This helped the stag get strong again. The animals learned to care for their friend and not take too much. They worked together to make sure the stag had what he needed to be healthy and happy.

Q9. Why must we share nature’s gifts fairly? (3 marks)
Ans: We must share nature’s gifts fairly so everyone gets enough. Taking too much, like all the water or plants, hurts others who need them, like animals or friends. Sharing keeps nature healthy and strong for all. It’s like making sure everyone gets a piece of cake at a party. If we share, no one goes hungry, and we all stay happy. Nature gives us lots, but we need to use it carefully so it lasts. This shows we care for each other and our world.
