Solution
Dr. Varun : Please tell me something about the history and social life of Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
Maiguru : Andaman Islands have been a Settlement of aboriginal tribes. These tribes are of Negrito origin . The tribes of Nicobar are of Mongoloid stock. Mythologically, the name Andaman comes from Hanuman. Later on there have been settlements from mainland of India. The social life is very peaceful here. People of all faith such as Hindus, Muslims, Christians and Sikhs etc. live here in complete peace and harmony Interreligion and inter-regional marriages are common. Because of such a way of life, one can see a Mini-India here living in peace and communal harmony.
Dr. Varun : That's wonderful. Now tell me something about the places I should visit .
Maiguru : Andaman and Nicobar islands are full of scenic beauty. However, I tell you about some most important places of tourist interest. First you must visit the Cellular Jail. This is the place where the freedom-fighters of India were sent to languish Every evening, there is a Sound and Light show which brings alive the struggle of those revolutionaries. Then you must visit MGMN Park at Wandoor. This large park is made-up of open sea, creeks and 15 small and large islands. Here you have a wonderful view of marine life through glass bottom boats, Scuba diving and snorkeling. The park offers amusement rides, safe water sports, nature trails and historic ruins of a Japanese Temple.
Other places, almost equally interesting are Chidiya Tapu, Coll inpur, Madhuban and Mt Harriet

[You may begin with: The first boy: ''Oh look! Here's a fine piece of..........."]
"Here is a fine piece of turf for the lark," said one of the boys, and began to cut out a square round the daisy, so that it remained in the centre of the grass.
"Pluck the flower off," said the other boy and the daisy trembled for fear, for to be pulled off meant death to it; and it wished so much to live, as it was to go with the square of turf into the poor captive lark's cage.
