A volcano is a burning mountain with a great hole running deep into the earth. Out of it come smoke,
gases and stones. The mouth of the opening is called the crater of the volcano.
Volcanoes are not always burning. Sometimes a volcano will remain quiet for centuries. And then it will
suddenly become active. This is called volcanic eruption.
When the eruption takes place, great clouds of ashes, dust, gas and steam rise from the crater. Loud
noises come from the crater. After sometime, white hot molten rock, called lava begins to flow down
the mountain sides. This may go on for days or weeks. Then the volcano will ‘go to sleep’ again for many
years. Most volcanoes are found near the seas.

There was a lion who was the king of the forest. He was big, fierce and strong. All the other animals
brought him gifts from every comer of the forest. They were really afraid of him.
‘King must have ministers to help him’, the lion thought one day. And he sent for the fox.
‘You are known to be very wise and clever. I want you to be my Home Minister.’ “Many many thanks for
this honour, your majesty”, said the fox, bowing low.
Then he called a panther and said, “You are known to be very alert and swift-footed. You will be my
Defence Minister.”
“Thank you, Sir,” said the panther.
The next to be summoned was a crow.
“You can fly high and can see distant objects. So you’ll be my Foreign Minister.”
“I am grateful to you, my master,” said the crow. The three ministers swore to remain
loyal to the king. The lion, in return promised to feed and protect them.
