Life is unpredictable and can throw challenges our way when we least expect it. It is essential to be prepared to face such challenges, especially during emergencies. In this story, "Man Overboard," we will read about a little girl named Vasantha, who showed courage and quick thinking during a critical situation. This story will inspire us to be vigilant, brave, and act quickly in emergencies.

The teacher reads the Supplementary with proper stress, pause, and intonation. Students listen silently at the first time. Second time they repeat after the teacher. They read in small groups.

The Teacher’s activity:

• What do you think would have happened if Vasantha had not acted quickly and called for help?

• How do you think Vasantha felt after she saved the man's life?

• What qualities do you think are essential for staying calm during emergencies?

• How can we prepare ourselves for emergencies?
