The Tiny Teacher Summary Class -7

The story is about an ant’s life and it is too remarkable to be true.It sounds almost untrue. An ant is the commonest, the smallest and the wisest creature that we have seen.This tiny creature is very hardworking and intelligent.

So let's study some interesting facts about ant's life.

Message

An ant uses its feelers to greet and pass messages to other ants.This we can understand by watching them when they move up and down on the wall that they always move in a row.

Homes

Ants have comfortable homes called 'nests' or 'anthills' Each home has hundreds of little rooms and passages. In some of these rooms the queen ant lays eggs. Others are nurseries for the young ants. Workers have their reserved quarters. Some rooms serve as storehouses for food. Soldiers have separate barracks. Ants in a house never quarrel with each other.

Kinds

There are many kinds of ants. The commonest among them are the black or red ones.The queen ant is the mother of the entire population of ants of a colony. It has a pair of wings. After its wedding flight, it gets rid of its wings. After that it does nothing but lay eggs. Eggs hatch and grubs come out. Grubs take two or three weeks to become cocoons. Cocoons take three more weeks to become perfect ants. Thus it takes five or six weeks for a grub to become a complete an ant.

When the eggs become grubs, soldiers guard them. Worker ants carry the grubs about for airing, exercise and sunshine. New ants are trained for the jobs of workers like soldiers, builders, cleaners etc. After a few weeks’ training, the small ants are ready to go out for work.

Other Creatures

Creatures other than the ants also live in the anthill. These are beetles, lesser breed of ants and the greenfly. Some of them give smell pleasant to the ants; others give various juices, and some are just pets or playthings. The ants train greenfly to give honeydew. They milk it just as we milk the cow.

Teacher

Man can learn many things from the ant, the “tiny teacher”. Hard work, sense of duty, discipline, cleanliness and care for the young ones are some of them. Above all an ant has firm loyalty to the land where it lives. Hard work is easy to see as each ant does its duty most regularly. Sense of duty and discipline are the most important qualities of an ant’s life. That is why, the ants of a colony are never seen to fight each other. All ants together take care of the young ones. Queen ant lays the eggs and soldiers guard the grubs. Workers feed and clean them. They also carry them about for airing, exercise and sunshine. New ants are taught by the old ones.

Ram Mandir

Ram Mandir : All you need to know 

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday formally launched the construction of a Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, saying the temple would serve as a “modern symbol of Indian culture” and with it, the country was creating a golden chapter for itself.“The centuries of wait is getting over today."

 

 

Mr. Modi visited Ayodhya town for the first time since becoming Prime Minister.He then planted a Parijat Sapling on the temple premises as it is considered 'holi'

 

 

Just like August 15 was commemorated as the day of sacrifice , the start of the Ram Temple construction on August 5, 2020 was a “symbol of penance, sacrifice and resolve” of many generations that struggled for it for centuries, he said.

 

While referring to the different traditions of Lord Ram and versions of the Ramayana in various languages, including Tamil, Telugu, Bangla and Odiya, and from countries like Indonesia and Cambodia, Mr. Modi said “Ram is everywhere, Ram is everyone’s.”

 

The proposed Ram temple in Ayodhya will be almost double the size of what was originally planned .

The temple, to be constructed in Nagara style of architecture, will have five domes instead of two 

 The project is likely to be completed in the next three years once the work commences.

According to Ashish Sompura, the architect , the Ram Mandir is set to become the largest temple to be built in India. The height will be about 161 feet while the area of the structure will be 28,000 square feet.

 

Reportedly, the foundation laying ceremony made use of holy water from 150 river.

The Uttar Pradesh Bullion Association has donated silver bricks weighing more than 33 kg, self-proclaimed descendent of Mughals Prince Yakub Habeebuddin Tucy has offered a gold brick weighing one kg,  Hyderabad-based jeweller named K Srinivas has also donated a one kg gold brick and a five kg silver brick 

 

Reportedly, Hyderabad volunteer organization Pawan Kumar Foundation will donate 34 silver and gold bricks to the temple trust for the construction of  Ram temple. Even saints from Tamil Nadu donated two gold and silver bricks with 'Shri Ram' inscribed on them in Tamil. The gold brick weighs 5 kg and the silver one weighs 20 kg.

It is also reported that the Jain community of Ahmedabad has also donated 24 kg of silver bricks for the construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya. Even Congress leader Kamal Nath announced the donation of 11 silver bricks on behalf of MP Congress. Reportedly, trust chairman Mahant Nritya Gopal Das got the silver brick weighing 40 kg made that was used during the Bhoomi Pujan ceremony.

 

Not just gold and silver bricks, even monetary donations are also being made in huge numbers by important people for the construction of the Ram Temple. Spiritual guru Morari Bapu announced a donation of Rs 5 crore, UP Deputy CM Keshav Prasad Maurya donated Rs 6.60 lakh, while UP CM Yogi Adityanath had donated Rs 11 lakh.

 

Special name inscribed bricks, some of which have been lying in wait for the last 30 years will be used for the temple construction. These bricks, often called Ram Shilas were collected from devotees from all over the country in 1989 before the ‘shilanyas’ took place in Ayodhya. Thousands of those will be put to use now to build the temple’s foundation. 

 

ANI has reported that the temple would be constructed using stones only and no iron and steel will be used to build it.

This is how Ram Mandir will look like after completion of construction.
