Hello friends in the navu class 11th English lesson number one NADA the gentleman of the Jungle yeah suddenly even though chapter number activity [Music] narrative story from the panchatantra where good prevails over evil activity so Gentlemen of the Jungle yeah um foreign foreign they could do this because European arms were Superior and because the chief Africans did not understand the meaning of the of the treaties they were asked to sign so okay now so as a result Africans lost the lands they had traditionally lived on and cultivated their attitude towards European expansion is made clear in the following Fable which reflects the attitude of the QQ people of Kenya towards European laws and commissions okay now Once Upon a Time an elephant made a friendship with the Manchester United um one day a heavy thunderstorm broke out the elephant went to his friend who had a little Hut at the edge of the forest and said to him um my dear good man will you please let me put my trunk inside your head to keep it out from this torrential rain so um what situation his friend was in replied my dear good elephant my heart is very small but there is room for your trunk and myself please put your trunk in gently foreign the elephant thanked his friend saying you have done me a good deed and one day I shall return your kindness but what followed as soon as the elephant put his trunk inside the head slowly he pushed his head inside and finally flung The Man out into the rain and then laid comfortably inside his friend's head saying my dear good friend your skin is harder than mine and as there is not enough room for both of us you can afford to remain in the rain while I am protecting my delicate skin from the hail storms foreign foreign all stood around listening to the heated argument between the man and his friend the elephant yellow animals in this turmoil the lion came along roaring and said in a loud voice don't you all know that I am the king of the jungle how did anyone disturb the Peace of my kingdom uh uh okay on hearing this the elephant who was one of the high ministers in the jungle Kingdom replied in a soothing voice and said my Lord there is no disturbance of the priests in your kingdom I have only been having a little discussion with my friend here as to the position of his little head which your Lordships is me occupying the elephant is innocence the lion who wanted to have peace and Tranquility in his kingdom replied in Noble voice saying I command my ministers to appoint a commission of inquiry to go thoroughly into this matter and Deport accordingly Kingdom the ministers he then turned to the man and said you have done well by establishing friendship with my people especially with the elephant who is one of my honorable Ministers of the state do not Grumble anymore your heart is not lost to you so I'm a lion uh [Music] wait until the sitting of my Imperial commission and there you will be given plenty of opportunity to State your case I am sure that you will be pleased with the findings of this commission is the man was very pleased by the sweet verse by the king of the jungle and innocently waited for its opportunity in the belief that naturally the heart would be returned to him the elephant obeying the command of his master got busy with the other ministers to appoint the commission of inquiry so elephant Minister other ministers the following Elders of the Jungle were appointed to sit in the Commissioners Mr Buffalo Mr Alligator the RT hon Mr Fox to act as the chairman Mr leopard to act as a secretary of the Commissioners okay now okay now okay on seeing the personal the man protested and asked if it was not necessary to include in this commission a member from his side so even the commissioners but he was told that it was impossible since no one from his side was well enough educated to understand the intricacy of the Jungle law commission members okay further that there was nothing to fear the members of the commission were all men of repute from the impartiality Injustice and as they were gentlemen chosen by God to look after the interest of race less adequately end on with teeth and Claws him interest assured that they would investigate the matter with the greatest care and Reporting partially members Commission the commission said to take evidence Mr elephant was first called he came along with the superior air brushing his tusks with the sapling which Mrs elephant had provided and in an authoritative voice said gentleman of the Jungle there is no need for me to waste your valuable time in a relating story which I am sure you all know even the commission members get an hour on the time okay I have always regarded it is my duty to protect the interest of my friends and this appears to have caused the misunderstanding between myself and my friend here he invited me to save his head from being blown away from a hurricane is foreign as the hurricane had gained access owning to the unoccupied space in the Hut I considered it necessary in my friend's own interest to turn the undeveloped space to more economic use by sitting in it myself a duty which any of you would do undoubtedly have performed with equal Readiness in similar circumstances after hearing the Artie Hawn Mr elephant's conclusive evidence the commission called Mr hyena and the other Elders of the Jungle who all supported what Mr elephant had said saying my good man please confine yourself to relevant issues we have already heard the circumstances from various unbiased sources all we wish you to tell us is whether the undeveloped space in your head was occupied by anyone else before Mr elephant assumed this position is foreign through a regrettable misunderstanding due to the backwardness of your ideas on the misunderstanding create activity we consider that Mr elephant had fulfilled his sacred duty of protecting your interest Mr elephant another friendship is as it is clear for your good that the space should be put to its more economic use and as you yourself have not yet reached the stage of expansion which would enable you to fill it we consider it necessary to arrange a compromise to suit both parties Mr elephant shall continue his occupation of your head but we give your permission to look for a site where you can build another ad more suited to your needs and we will see that you are well protected you know hello the man having no alternative and fearing that his refusal might expose him to teeth and flaws of the members of the commission did as they suggested so I want the money better optional okay but no sooner had he built another head then Mr rhinoceros charged in with his own load and ordered the man to quit uh a royal commission was again appointed to look onto the matter and same finding was given again this procedure repeated until Mr Buffalo Mr leopard Mr hyena and the rest of the and the rest were all accommodated with new hurts then the man decided that he must adopt an effective method of protection since commissions of inquiry did not seem of any use to him so I'm on the commission of inquiry on the investigation the commissioner useless he sat down and said quickly there is nothing that trades on Earth that cannot be trapped so even the booming Allah or in other words early one morning when the Huts already occupied by the jungle Lodge were all beginning to Decay and fall into pieces he went out and built a bigger and better Hut a little distance away okay now Mr leopard next came in at the window Mr lion Mr Fox and Mr Buffalo entered the doors while Mr hyena howled for a place in shade and Mr Alligator bust in the on the roof so um okay next presently they all began disputing about their rights of penetration and from disputing they came to fighting and while they were all embroiled together the man said the heart on fire and burnt It On The Ground jungle lost in the world peace then he went home saying peace is costly but it's worth the expense oh no um foreign commentary thanks for watching
