Yonamine Chiru of Okinawa

उत्तर
Yonamine Chim was the most admired girl in Okinawa. She was intelligent. tall, strong, big, and beautiful. She was so well-trained in Karate that no one could beat her. Her father was a rich man, and she would inherit a fortune from him. She had her own ideas about marriage ~d said that she would only marry a man who would beat her in a fair fight. Bushi did so and she married Bushi. It was a happy marriage. Yonamine was kind and loving; she cooked and cleaned and kept the house spic and span. She was swift and sharp in her reactions when she was attacked by a bandit. She was concerned about her husband and his health. When she came to know that the bandit she had beaten and tied to a tree was actually Bushi, she was apologetic and looked at the whole incident humorously.

(iv) Mrs. Cynthia Nesamani and Sister Monica gave .......................................... to the narrator.
[freedom to do what he wanted, advice to do something, instructions to produce better results]
In a way, one of the greatest gifts any teacher can give a student, I think, is to inculcate a curiosity to learn.
I've been incredibly lucky to have at least one such teacher at every stage in my life. The first was Mrs. Rowlands who taught me in primary school. She taught me to read without ever pushing me. She made me want to read more by giving 'me some of the most interesting children's books available. And although I still love to go back to those books from time to time, it was only because of her that I was able to read Shakespeare by the time I was ten, and Chaucer a year later.
In later years, it was Mr. A.N. Patil, my Marathi and Hindi Teacher who made a huge impression on me. Every lesson he took, was spiced with half a dozen or more anecdotes from a wide variety of subjects: among them history, politics, religion and sociology. I was, and still am in awe of his knowledge, which despite rather desperate attempts, I doubt I'll ever be able to match.
There have also been other teachers who helped me to try to become independent: to think and act for myself using my own judgement, which to my mind has been just as, if not more important, than actually learning anything.
After all, it's much too easy to become a completely useless repository of facts and little else.
Two teachers whom I remember in particular are Mrs. Cynthia Nesamani and Sister Monica, both taught me in school. The former, by and large, gave me a free rein to do what I wanted to do. I, being one of those people who dislike instructions, she helped me to produce much better results than I'd have otherwise done.
