Question

Form groups and discuss the following turn by turn.

1. What do you often, complain to your parents/elders about?
2. Name some of the things, you have in your possession, which your younger brother/sister does not have.
3. Name one thing that, at present, you are craving to possess, most of all?
4. Read the translated Arabic proverb given below and discuss what it means to convey -
   ‘I complained that I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet’

Answer 1

1. I often complain to my parents that no one takes me seriously and treats me like a child.
2. Some of the things I have which my younger brother or sister does not have are:
   • Cycle
   • Cricket Shoes
   • Mobile Phone
3. I wish I had a nice laptop.
4. This Arabic proverb teaches us to be thankful for what we have instead of complaining about what we do not have. Today, many people always want more things or newer versions of what they already own.
   We should remember that many people do not even have the basic necessities of life. For example, we may complain that we do not have new shoes, but some people do not even have feet because of an accident or by birth.
   So, we should always be grateful for our blessings and appreciate what we have, because many people are less fortunate than us.
