GSEB Class 10 English Oh; Jalebis Text Book Questions and Answers

Read the passage and answer the questions.

(1) I was in the fifth standard at the government school. One day, I went to school with four rupees in my pocket to pay the school fees. When I got there I found that the teacher who collected the fees, Master Ghulam Mohammed, was on leave and so the fees would be collected the next day. All through the day the coins simply sat in my pocket, but once school got over and I was on my way, they began to speak.

ā€œLook here, you four rupees,ā€ I said to them. ā€œI am a good boy. Don’t misguide me or it won’t be good for you. Besides, you are my fees money. If I spend you today, then how shall I show my face to Master Ghulam Mohammed in school tomorrow?ā€ [Page 6]

I clutched the jalebis to my chest and ran into a gali. When I reached a safe corner, I began to devour the jalebis. I ate so many… so many jalebis that if anyone pressed my stomach a little, jalebis would have popped out of my ears and nostrils.

I knew I would get the previous month’s scholarship that day and once I’d paid the fees with that amount, the jalebis would be completely digested. But when I got to school, I found out that the scholarship was going to be paid the following month. My head started to spin.

Master Ghulam Mohammed announced that the fees would be taken during the recess. When the recess bell rang, I left the school and walked on and on. Finally, I reached the railway station.
