Concept Map

 

Consolidation and Presentation: (Write in order mode)

• This story is about a school trip to Ooty, explained by a 6th standard girl called Merlin, to her friend Malli, through a friendly letter.

• They started from Coimbatore and took the toy train to Ooty. Since it was her first time, Merlin was very much excited. She had reserved a place for her friend Fatima, near her seat. The train snaked along slowly in the steep hillside. The scenery outside was beautiful and looked like a movie sequence.

• They spotted monkeys along the tracks. Suddenly the train jerked to a halt. Muthu, one of the naughty boys of the class, made his way to the door, while slowly others also started getting down from the compartment.

• They saw a cute baby elephant, sitting on the tracks. The engine driver tried to coax it off the track, but could not. Muthu went ahead with a bunch of bananas and tricked it by moving it away every time the baby elephant neared it.

• Thus, he brought the elephant out of the track easily. All of them clapped, and the train started again, after a delay of half an hour. They felt so lucky to have spotted elephants.

• They realized the difference between a normal train and a toy train - they could enjoy the beautiful scenery outside, only when the train moved slower. They had a wonderful trip, and the whole group kept talking about it, all the time.
