Solution
- Lion, who was king of the forest, was big, strong and fierce. His orders were always fulfilled by his courtiers. He always gave them remains of the food, eaten by him. So, they always had enough of it. But he wasn't as energetic as a king has to be. He got tired after walking on a desert.
- Fox, who was an adviser brought the camel. Thus he was clever and used his wisdom.
- Leopard, who was a bodyguard, didn't try to save his king. He wanted to run away from the mid way.
- Vulture, a messenger was greedy as he thought of his master only.
- Camel, who was unaware of their plotting, was ready to give up his life for the sake of king's hunger. He was truly an honest courtier.

Read the passage given below and make notes.
To match the best cities across the world, the Government of India initiated ‘smart cities’ to drive economic growth and improve the quality of life of people. The agenda under smart city promises to resolve urban sustainability problems. Urban forests provide a range of important ecosystem services that are critical for the sustainability of cities. Urban forestry, which is defined more as ‘Management of Trees’ contributes to the physiological, sociological and economic well-being of the society. Mangroves, lakes, grasslands, and forests in and around our cities, act as sponges that absorb the air and noise pollution and they present themselves as our cultural and recreational hotspots. However, these spots are rapidly being reclaimed and replaced in the name of development. Presence of urban green has shown to increase the economic value of the place.
Urban forests contribute to reduce the cost of building storm water drain systems for municipalities and neutralizing urban heat island effect. Plants not only provide shade but also help in regulating the micro-climate. They help regulate energy budgets, improve air quality, and curtail noise pollution. Trees, herbs, shrubs, and grasses arrest sedimentation and prevent other pollutants from entering our water systems. This will give a chance for our urban lakes and rivers to recover and help improve aquatic ecosystems. Biodiversity also gets a boost through the urban forestsand helps create corridors connecting the forest areas. High biodiversity areas can also help to build resilient ecosystems. Availability of forests within our urban areas gives an opportunity for children to connect to the natural environment and learn about native species.
