Mijbil the Otter
Important questions for board examination.
Answer the following questions in about 100 to 150 words.
Q) What things does Mij do which tell you that he is an
intelligent, friendly and fun loving animal who needs love?
OR
Q) Discuss various qualities of the Mijbil.
Ans) Mijbil made friendship with the author in just a
few days. He was very curious and took interest in his surroundings.
He was intelligent. He escaped from the bedroom and reached
the bathroom, where he played with the water. Later in the corridor he tried
to open the tap. He devised a game. He put a ball or marble on the higher
side of tilted suitcase and rushed on other side to catch it before the ball reached.
He didn’t like the
confinement. He hurt himself in the effort of escaping, when author put
him in the box for importing to London. He was naughty and created a nuisance
in the aircraft. He was fun loving and developed the compulsive habit of
galloping through the courtyard of the school.
Q) Why did author said that air hostess was a queen of her
kind?
Ans) Maxwell wanted to carry Mijbil to the London from the
Basra, but the airlines did not allow animals to be kept in open. So, he had to
put the Mijbil in a box. Mijbil wounded himself in the effort to escape from
the box. He was bleeding and was in a very miserable condition.
Maxwell requested the air hostess and she allowed to keep
the Mij near his knees. She was a kind
lady who understood the problem of Maxwell. The miserable condition of Mij
compelled her to give the permission.
As soon as Maxwell opened the lid Mij flashed out of the box
and rushed down the aircraft. Author jumped to catch him and spill the curry of
food of one passenger. There was a chaos
in the aircraft. But air Hostess maintained her cool and helped the author in
getting the Mij back.
Because of all these qualities of air hostess Maxwell called
her the queen of her kind.
Q) What would you do if you were in place of air hostess?
Ans) Air Hostess was a kind lady. She understood the
conditions of Maxwell and Mijbil. She had
sympathy for them and allowed the author to keep the Mij near his knees.
But if I were at her place, I would not allow this. Sympathy
and compassion are high qualities but duty is above all. It was not my right to
broke the rules of airlines. I would
rather inform my seniors and ask for their suggestions. They might find a better
way like keeping the Mijbil in separate cabin or some other method, so that
other passengers were not at risk. There must always be a balance of responsibilities and emotions.
