would have been here by now, so I am going to leave him alone, and you must work double – time to make up for
it”

all), and they held a palaver, and an indaba, and a panchayat, and a pow-wow on
the edge of the Desert; and the Camel came chewing on milkweed – most

Then he said “Humph !” and went away again.
Presently there came along the Djinn in charge of All Deserts,
rolling in a cloud of dust (djinn always travels that way because it is Magic),
and he stopped to palaver and pow-wow with the three.

to be idle, with the world so new – and – all ?”
“Certainly not,” said the Djinn.

III. A) 23. Write the summary of the following
passage in about 100 words: 5
Tsunamis are not as common as other weather related disasters,
but they can cause significant damage. The word tsunami comes from a Japanese
word meaning "long harbor wave." Today, scientist use the term to
define seismic sea waves generated by undersea earthquakes or undersea
landslides and volcanic eruptions. Most tsunamis occur along the Ring of Fire,
a wave of volcanic and earthquake activity that encircles the Pacific Ocean.
The Hawaiian Islands and Alaska areas are common for this type of disaster.
Tsunami waves have long lengths and travel very fast in deep water. Upon
reaching the shore, the speed of the wave decreases, but the height increases
dramatically causing massive damage to coastlines. The Tsunami Warning System
has helped in warning people of these disasters, but more research and
technology is needed to improve the predictions of this natural disaster.
Tsunami is not a common term for people living on the East
Coast, but the term poses a fear for those living close to the Pacific Ocean.
The word Tsunami comes from a Japanese word meaning "long harbor
wave." Scientist to describe a seismic sea wave generated by an undersea
earthquake or an undersea landslide (Encarta) also uses the term. A violent
submarine volcanic eruption can create enough force to uplift the water and
generate a tsunami. Generally, tsunamis formed by submarine landslides and
volcanic eruptions dissipate quickly and rarely effect coastlines unlike the
Pacific-wide tsunamis caused by earthquakes (Tsunamis) Tsunamis can savagely
attack coastlines, causing devastating property damage and loss of life.
