2. FOLKTALE Subba Sastry and Sugar Deva Raya, Tenali Raman began to tell an interesting story.. “There once lived a man who was very rich but was a miser. He had a great deal of money and wealth but did not like to spend it on anyone. One day, he was very upset to discover that ants had entered his bowl of sugar. He thought that drying the sugar in the sun would drive the ants out. He took the bowl and placed the sugar in a heap on a large piece of paper and kept it out in the sun. He was very worried that his friend, Subba Sastry might come and eat the sugar so he sat down and kept watch over it. Subba Sastry, who was very fond of sweets in any form, had seen the rich man keep the sugar out in the sun. He devised a plan to get his hands on the rich man's sugar. He called Tenali Raman: One afternoon in the court of King Krishna his son and said, “I am going to the rich man’s porch to talk to him. After fve minutes, come running to me, shouting 'Our cow is dead!'” After giving his son these instructions, Subba Sastry went over to the rich man’s porch and began to talk to him. Subba Sastry asked him why he was looking so upset, to which the rich man replied that he had been having a great deal of losses. Subba Sastry then turned his attention to the sugar and asked him what he was drying and the rich man replied by saying that water had fallen into some mud in his garden and that he was trying to dry it. Just then, Subba Sastry’s son came running to the porch shouting, “Our cow is dead! Our cow is dead!” Upon hearing this, Subba Sastry acted as though he was in shock and started rolling over the rich man’s garden. He pretended to eat the grass out of grief. He looked at the fowers and pretended to eat them too. He, then picked up the sugar (which the rich man had lied about) and put it into his mouth. He picked up another handful and put it into his son’s mouth. The rich man was appalled at the sight of this. He started shouting, “This is not mud! Don’t eat it. This is sugar.” Subba Sastry replied, “No, but you told me that this is mud and it does taste like mud too!” He went on eating till all the sugar was over. The miserly rich man was left sad and grieving over the loss of his sugar.”

4. CASA & ASA Discoveries and Inventions Wow! Who discovered ink? Who Discovered Ink? Human beings, as they evolved from their prehistoric ancestors, developed many forms of communica- tion. They began with passing down stories and stories through the oral tradition, before moving on to writing. One of the most important tools discovered by humans, has been written communication. They frst wrote on cave walls and then stone and developed a pictorial vocabulary. As time progressed, shapes and sounds were incorporated in the written form. The earliest surviving texts from Mesopotamia dating back from 2100 BC, were written with reeds or stylus on clay tablets. These show that by then, man had developed an evolved form of writing and communication. It was the Chinese who are credited with frst discovering ink 5000 years ago. It is still being used in that form. The liquid India Ink we use today was also discovered by the Chinese. The ink was thus named because the carbon black that was used to make the ink was sourced from India. It was the Cao Wei Dynasty(220 AD – 265 AD), that established the manufacture of India Ink. Ink and how it is used has evolved over the years, changing colours and composition to adapt it to diferent needs. Fuel for your Bones with Broccoli!

6. PONDERING What Happens if You Swallow Gum? Every child has grown up with the warning that swallowed chewing gum will sit in their stomach for seven whole years. Though this is an old wive's tale, told to children to stop them from chewing too much gum and from swallowing it, there is some truth behind this statement. Chewing gum is primarily made of natural or synthetic materials (gum resin), favourings, sweeteners and preservatives. When chewing gum is swallowed, it travels down the digestive tract and comes out with a trip to the bathroom. Along the way, the digestive system absorbs the favourings, sweeteners and pre- servatives. However, the body cannot break down and absorb gum resin, which is passed through the body undigested. If a child swallows too much gum or several smaller pieces of gum, it can combine with other undigested food to cause intestinal blockages. This could cause stomach aches, visits to the doctor and in the worst case, a trip to the hospital. CORNER
