Now, say a few lines about any one harvest festival that you celebrate.
Ans: Kongali Bihu is also called Kati Bihu and is celebrated in the month of October or November. It is a quieter and more serious festival compared to Rongali Bihu. During Kongali Bihu, people pray for a good harvest and the well-being of their crops. Lamps are lit in the fields and near the home to protect the crops from evil spirits. Since this is a time when food is less in the fields, the festival is called “Kongali,” meaning “poor” or “scarce.” It is a time for farmers to hope and prepare for better times ahead.

13. Read the discussion between Bubu and the other children from SCENE II:
Rumi: Friends, we have a problem. Jivan khura and Minati jethai invited us to perform husori at both their houses.
Bubu: And we don’t know where to go first!
Minki: Jivan khura’s house is nearer.
Juni: But Minati jethai likes us so much. She often treats us with delicious ladoos.
Suman (laughing): That’s a tough choice then!
Bubu: But I like ghila pitha more than ladoos.
Rumi (smiling): She makes them all. Let’s go to her first.
Suman: Okay, settled then! We’ll go to Minati jerhai’s house first.
The husori group had a problem of deciding where to go first. They settled the matter through discussion among themselves and decided to go to Minati jethat’s house.
What do you do when you face such a situation? How do you settle it down? Share a few ideas with the class.
Ans: When I face a situation where a group has to make a choice, I first listen to everyone’s opinions carefully. Then we discuss the options and try to find a solution that works best for all. Sometimes, we take a vote or agree to take turns to keep it fair. Communication and respect for each other’s views help us settle problems peacefully.
