the bottom cabinet. Opening it, she set the button unit on the table. She stared at it for a long time

How ridiculous, she thought.All this furore over a meaningless button.
Paragraph No. 3
Only twice did my father stop to wipe the sweat from his eyes as he climbed the second steep bluff
toward the fingers of the pines. We reached the limbless trunks of these tall straight pines whose
branches reached the blue depth of thesky, or the white cloud was now gone. I saw a clearing, a
small clearing of not more than three-fourth of an acre in the heart of this wilderness right on the
mountain top.
Paragraph No. 4
"Twenty times in my life," he said, "a doctor has told me to go home and be with my family as long
as I could. Told me not to work. Not to do anything but to live and enjoy the few days I had left with
me. If the doctors have been right," he said,winking at me, "I have cheated death many times! Now,
I've reached the years the Good Book allows to man in his lifetime upon this earth! Three score
years and ten!"
Paragraph No. 5
"Oh, yes," he said. "Early last spring, I couldn't climb straight up the steep path. That was when the
doctor didn't give me a week to live. I made a longer, easierpath so I wouldn't have to do so much
climbing. Then, as I got better, he explained. "I made another path that was a little steeper. And as
I continued to get better, I made steeper paths. That was one way of knowing I was getting better
all the time!"
Paragraph No. 6
For a long time there was only the sound of the wind in the late afternoon. Alone,thought Bittering.
Only a thousand of us here. No way back. No way. No way.

fear. He wanted to strike Laura, cried, "No, you're lying! The rockets will come back!" Instead, he
stroked Laura's head against him and said, "The rockets will get through someday."
Paragraph No. 7
When they finished eating, she got up and said. "Now here, take this ten dollars and buy yourself
some blue suede shoes. And next time, do not make the mistake of latching onto my pocketbook
nor anybody else's -- because shoes gotby devilish ways will burn your feet. I got to get my rest

now. But from here on in,son, I hope you will behave yourself."

Paragraph No. 8
There were chickens, pigeons and legs of mutton in the roast and an appetizing odour of roast,
beef. Leaf and gravy dripping over the browned skin, which increased the appetite and made
everybody's mouth water. Everyone told his affairs, his purchases and sales. The diners discussed
the crops and the weatherwhich was favourable for the green things but not for wheat. Suddenly, at
the sound of drum beat in the court every body rose from the seats except a few ones who still had
the food in their hands.
Paragraph No. 9
Our talk at the Club one day was of opportunity and determination. Some said opportunity was

it long enough, he got it, saidJorkens.

spoon back of her teeth and down her throat till she gagged. Andthere it was - both tonsils covered

that sore throat for three days at least and lying to her parents in order to escape just such an
outcome asthis.
Paragraph No. 11
Once a king and a Persian slave were sailing in the same boat. The slave had never been at sea,
and never experienced any calamity. After some-time the boat was hit by a storm and started
tossing. It was very inconvenient for the passengers. All remained quiet except the slave who in
fear of being drowned began to cry and tremble, and created inconvenience for the others. The
otherstried to pacify him by kindness and affection but he didn't hear anybody. When the
uneasiness lasted longer the king also became displeased.
Paragraph No. 12
One evening, as the sun was setting, some travellers stayed to rest under a clump of trees, and
loosening their camels, set them to graze. It happened that one of the animals entered a melon-
field, and that a melon stuck in its throat. The owner, seeing this and fearing to lose the animal, tied
a blanket round its throat, and then struck the place with all his might. Instantly the melon broke in
the throat of the camel, and it was then easily swallowed.
Paragraph No. 13
Margaret was wondering what she could do to help. She did not know. Then up came old Stephen
from the lands. "We're finished, Magaret, finished! Those beggars can eat every leaf and blade off
the farm in half an hour! And it is only early afternoon -- if we can make enough smoke, make
 ‫ ج۔ب‬104 ‫آئیڈیل سائنس اکیڈمی‬

enough noise till the sun goes down, they'll settle somewhere else perhaphs " And then: "Get
the kettle
going. It's thirsty work, this."
Paragraph No. 14
I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some
of you have come from the areas where your quest for freedom left you battered by the
storms of persecution and staggered by thewinds of police brutality. You have been the
veterans of creative suffering.
Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive.
Paragraph No. 15
Jim stopped inside the door. He was as quiet as a hunting dog when it is near a bird. His eyes
looked strangely at Della, and there was an expression in them that she could not understand. It
filled her with fear. It was not anger, nor surprise, nor anything else she had been ready for. He
simply looked at her withthe strange expression on his face.
Paragraph No. 16
If it were possible to get the necessities of life from the heavens through prayers, Maulvi Abul would
have prayed to Allah for a pair of shoes for his Umda, the youngest in the family. At night he
consulted his wife. But instead of replying, shesilently lifted a corner of the quilt to expose
Umdatunnisa's small, bare feet.
Seeing those dainty feet, Maulvi Abul burst into tears like a child.
Paragraph No. 17
When the couple had walked some hundred yards ahead of him, he hurriedly moved after them.
Hardly had he reached half way across the road when a truck full of bricks came from behind like a
gust of wind and crushing him down speeded off towards Mcleod Road. The driver of the truck had
heard a shriek andhad actually for a moment slowed down, but realizing that something serious had
happened, had taken advantage of the darkness and had sped away into the night.
Paragraph No. 18
I had a vexing dream one night, not long ago: it was about a fortnight after Christmas. I dreamt I
flew out of the window in my nightshirt. I went up and up. Iwas glad that I was going up. "They
have been noticing me," I thought to myself."If anything, I have been a bit too good. A little less
virtue and I might have lived longer. But one cannot have everything." The world grew smaller and
smaller.
The last I saw of London was the long line of electric lamps bordering the Embankment.
Later nothing remained but a faint luminosity buried beneathdarkness.
