Children!
You may continue to sit here and study if you promise to be quiet.
Sahir’s grandmother has fallen asleep in the verandah.
We’ll be quiet, Ma.
Yes, Aunty.
Don’t worry, Aunty.
We will speak softly.
Okay, so we have completed revising History and English.
Shall we study Science now?
No, let’s study Geography.
We can learn about rocks.
Did you know that rocks will turn into soil one day?
And there are so many different kinds of soils.
And different kinds of seeds grow in different kinds of soils!
Sahir, enough of your rocks and soils and seeds.
Can we do the lesson on friction?
Oh! I've already studied friction in my old school.
I found that lesson very interesting.
Did you know that we are able to walk only because of friction?
When we walk, our feet push against the ground
in the backward direction, and the ground exerts a force
in the opposite direction.
So, the direction of the frictional force when we walk is the same as that of our motion!
Does that mean that if there was no friction on earth,
we would not be able to walk?
That's right.
Hey! Isn't studying together fun?
That's right.
And it makes learning more fun.
Shall we take a break now?
I want to listen to the news.
Could you please turn on the radio, Zo?
The switch is right next to you.
Sure.
...this is All India Radio FM..
Now for the news headlines at noon.
The Prime Minister has returned from his international tour.
District elections have been announced across four states next month.
And in Telangana and Rajasthan,
the Government has sanctioned 2,00,000 crores for Phase 2 of the canal building project.
The project is expected to be completed in three years.
And in sports news...
Oh, no!
The radio was too loud! I think Grandma has woken up!
What’s all this noise?
No one lets me sleep peacefully.
Can’t anyone get some sleep here?!
Sorry, Grandma!
My friends are here.
You know Kanasu.
And this is Zo, my new friend.
Is this the time to get friends home?
Why aren't you at school?
But Aunty, today is a holiday.
Holiday? Again?!
Sorry, Grandma, we promise to be quiet.
Ssshhh.
Kanasu, Zo, please don’t mind my grandmother.
She is getting grumpy with age.
Sahir! What did you say?
Nothing, nothing!
