NCERT Class 3 English Chapter 5 Answer (Marigold ) | NCERT Class 3 English Solution

UNIT V

Does a balloon man visit your market? Let’s see what this

balloon man brings with him.

The Balloon Man

And holds balloons – a lovely bunch –

He always comes on market days

And in the market square he stays,

And never seems to think of lunch.

They’re red and purple, blue and green,

And when it is a sunny day

The carts and people get between

You see them shining far away.

And some are big and some are small,

All tied together with a string.

And if there is a wind at all

They tug and tug like anything.

Some day perhaps he’ll let them go

And we shall see them sailing high,

And stand and watch them from below —

They would look pretty in the sky!

Rose Fyleman

THE YELLOW BUTTERFLY

A yellow butterfly flew around in Sonu’s garden.

Sonu saw the butterfly. He ran to catch it.

The butterfly flew to the rose bed. It sat on a red rose.

“Now I can catch it!” said Sonu.

He walked slowly and silently

to catch the butterfly. He came

closer, closer, and still closer,

but then…

Off flew the butterfly!

Where did the butterfly go?

Near the garden was a pond. In

the pond was a white lotus.

Around it grew round leaves.

They floated in the water.

The butterfly sailed on a floating leaf.

Sonu went splash into the water and…

Off flew the butterfly!

Where was it? Sonu looked up, he looked down.

Near the wall was a peach tree. It had pink flowers.

The butterfly sat on a pretty flower.

“I can catch you!” shouted Sonu. He climbed

up the tree. Up, up he climbed, but….

Back it flew, down from the tree.

Sonu jumped down too. He

chased the butterfly,

From the rose,

to the lotus, and,

Up the peach tree, but…

He could not catch the

butterfly.

Sonu could not see it at

all. He looked everywhere.

At last he saw the butterfly.

There was a big spider’s

web in the peach tree. The

butterfly was caught in the

spider’s web. It looked sad

as it tried to escape. It

fluttered its wings. It twisted

and turned. But it could not

escape. The spider’s web

held it tight.

Poor butterfly!

In the middle of the web was a big spider. It looked hungry.

It wanted to catch the butterfly.

Closer and closer crawled the black spider.

Before the hungry spider could grab it, Sonu ran and…

he caught the butterfly!

It was so pretty. It had black spots on its yellow wings.

Sonu loved the little butterfly.

But it looked sad in Sonu’s hand.

Sonu wanted it to be happy.

“Go,” said Sonu,

“Fly away!”

H e l e t t h e

butterfly go. It sat on the red rose. It

flew to the peach

tree and then sailed

on a lotus leaf. It

flew merrily from

flower to flower.

Sonu watched

it fly and fly.

The butterfly flew all around Sonu’s garden….happy

and free once again.

SUGGESTIONS FOR CLASSROOM TEACHING

With a new poem, ask children to remember words and outstanding lines.

While reading, let children look for lines they like best, enjoy them and make a

picture of them ‘‘in their minds’’.

You can bring a packet of brightly coloured balloons and thread to class. Take

the children out into the playground. Let each child blow one balloon and tie it

tightly with a piece of thread. Now let them leave the balloons and watch them

fly up with the breeze. Talk about how high they will fly in the sky. Talk also

about the other things one can see in the sky including birds, butterflies,

balloons, clouds etc. and their different colours.

The story must be read in a clear voice, and appropriate expressions so that it

is told well and will live in the memory of the children.

Take children outdoors if possible, where they see butterflies on flowers and

tell them about how they feed on nectar. Draw the body of a butterfly on the

blackboard. Talk to the children about its different parts.

Paper folding activity: Give every child a square piece of paper. Let them colour

it with dots and lines before making a butterfly.

Help children to make colourful balloons by cutting pictures from old

magazines and newspapers. They can stick these on chart papers and put

them up in the class.

Help children to find out the colours in the maze by reading the

letters vertically and horizontally.

Explain the difficult words in the text. You can supply pictures

for them. Write new sentences on the blackboard. This way you

LjAuMC4wIl0sWyJDaHJvbWl1bSIsIjExNy4wLjU5MzguMTMyIl1dLDBd&dt=1696073043078&bpp=2&bdt=1075&idt=2&sh

can also teach words and spaces and later a long word,

a sentence etc. jumbled sentences can be presented in some

attractive way to be corrected by the child.

And some are big and some are small,

All tied together with a string.

And if there is a wind at all

They tug and tug like anything.

Some day perhaps he’ll let them go

And we shall see them sailing high,

And stand and watch them from below —

They would look pretty in the sky!

THE YELLOW BUTTERFLY

A yellow butterfly flew around in Sonu’s garden.

Sonu saw the butterfly. He ran to catch it.

The butterfly flew to the rose bed. It sat on a red rose.

“Now I can catch it!” said Sonu.

He walked slowly and silently

to catch the butterfly. He came

closer, closer, and still closer,

but then…

Off flew the butterfly!

Where did the butterfly go?

Near the garden was a pond. In

the pond was a white lotus.

Around it grew round leaves.

They floated in the water.

The butterfly sailed on a floating leaf.

Sonu went splash into the water and…

Off flew the butterfly!

Where was it? Sonu looked up, he looked down.

Near the wall was a peach tree. It had pink flowers.

The butterfly sat on a pretty flower.

“I can catch you!” shouted Sonu. He climbed

up the tree. Up, up he climbed, but….

Back it flew, down from the tree.

Sonu jumped down too. He

chased the butterfly,

From the rose,

to the lotus, and,

Up the peach tree, but…

He could not catch the

butterfly.

Sonu could not see it at

all. He looked everywhere.

At last he saw the butterfly.

There was a big spider’s

web in the peach tree. The

butterfly was caught in the

spider’s web. It looked sad

as it tried to escape. It

fluttered its wings. It twisted

and turned. But it could not

escape. The spider’s web

held it tight.

Poor butterfly!

In the middle of the web was a big spider. It looked hungry.

It wanted to catch the butterfly.

Closer and closer crawled the black spider.

Before the hungry spider could grab it, Sonu ran and…

he caught the butterfly!

It was so pretty. It had black spots on its yellow wings.

Sonu loved the little butterfly.

But it looked sad in Sonu’s hand.

Sonu wanted it to be happy.

“Go,” said Sonu,

“Fly away!”

H e l e t t h e

butterfly go. It sat on the red rose. It

flew to the peach

tree and then sailed

on a lotus leaf. It

flew merrily from

flower to flower.

Sonu watched

it fly and fly.

The butterfly flew all around Sonu’s garden….happy

and free once again.

The Balloon Man

He always comes on market days

And holds balloons – a lovely bunch –

And in the market square he stays,

And never seems to think of lunch.

They’re red and purple, blue and green,

And when it is a sunny day

The carts and people get between

You see them shining far away.

And some are big and some are small,

All tied together with a string.

And if there is a wind at all

They tug and tug like anything.

Some day perhaps he’ll let them go

And we shall see them sailing high,

And stand and watch them from below —

They would look pretty in the sky!

Sonu saw the butterfly. He ran to catch it.

The butterfly flew to the rose bed. It sat on a red rose.

“Now I can catch it!” said Sonu.

He walked slowly and silently

to catch the butterfly. He came

closer, closer, and still closer,

but then…

Off flew the butterfly!

Where did the butterfly go?

Near the garden was a pond. In

the pond was a white lotus.

Around it grew round leaves.

They floated in the water.

The butterfly sailed on a floating leaf.

Sonu went splash into the water and…

Off flew the butterfly!

Where was it? Sonu looked up, he looked down.

Near the wall was a peach tree. It had pink flowers.

The butterfly sat on a pretty flower.

“I can catch you!” shouted Sonu. He climbed

up the tree. Up, up he climbed, but….

Back it flew, down from the tree.

Sonu jumped down too. He

chased the butterfly,

From the rose,

to the lotus, and,

Up the peach tree, but…

He could not catch the

butterfly.

Sonu could not see it at

all. He looked everywhere.

At last he saw the butterfly.

There was a big spider’s

web in the peach tree. The

butterfly was caught in the

spider’s web. It looked sad

as it tried to escape. It

fluttered its wings. It twisted

and turned. But it could not

escape. The spider’s web

held it tight.

Poor butterfly!

In the middle of the web was a big spider. It looked hungry.

It wanted to catch the butterfly.

Closer and closer crawled the black spider.

Before the hungry spider could grab it, Sonu ran and…

he caught the butterfly!

It was so pretty. It had black spots on its yellow wings.

Sonu loved the little butterfly.

But it looked sad in Sonu’s hand.

Sonu wanted it to be happy.

“Go,” said Sonu,

“Fly away!”

H e l e t t h e

butterfly go. It sat on the red rose. It

flew to the peach

tree and then sailed

on a lotus leaf. It

flew merrily from

flower to flower.

Sonu watched

it fly and fly.

The butterfly flew all around Sonu’s garden….happy

Does a balloon man visit your market? Let’s see what this

balloon man brings with him.

The Balloon Man

He always comes on market days

And holds balloons – a lovely bunch –

And in the market square he stays,

And never seems to think of lunch.

They’re red and purple, blue and green,

And when it is a sunny day

The carts and people get between

You see them shining far away.

And some are big and some are small,

All tied together with a string.

And if there is a wind at all

They tug and tug like anything.

Some day perhaps he’ll let them go

And we shall see them sailing high,

And stand and watch them from below —

They would look pretty in the sky!

escape. The spider’s web

held it tight.

Poor butterfly!

In the middle of the web was a big spider. It looked hungry.

It wanted to catch the butterfly.

Closer and closer crawled the black spider.

Before the hungry spider could grab it, Sonu ran and…

he caught the butterfly!

It was so pretty. It had black spots on its yellow wings.

Sonu loved the little butterfly.

But it looked sad in Sonu’s hand.

Sonu wanted it to be happy.

SUGGESTIONS FOR CLASSROOM TEACHING

With a new poem, ask children to remember words and outstanding lines.

While reading, let children look for lines they like best, enjoy them and make a

picture of them ‘‘in their minds’’.

You can bring a packet of brightly coloured balloons and thread to class. Take

the children out into the playground. Let each child blow one balloon and tie it

tightly with a piece of thread. Now let them leave the balloons and watch them

fly up with the breeze. Talk about how high they will fly in the sky. Talk also

about the other things one can see in the sky including birds, butterflies,

balloons, clouds etc. and their different colours.

The story must be read in a clear voice, and appropriate expressions so that it

is told well and will live in the memory of the children.

Take children outdoors if possible, where they see butterflies on flowers and

tell them about how they feed on nectar. Draw the body of a butterfly on the

blackboard. Talk to the children about its different parts.

Paper folding activity: Give every child a square piece of paper. Let them colour

it with dots and lines before making a butterfly.

Help children to make colourful balloons by cutting pictures from old

magazines and newspapers. They can stick these on chart papers and put

them up in the class.

Help children to find out the colours in the maze by reading the

letters vertically and horizontally.

UNIT V

Does a balloon man visit your market? Let’s see what this

balloon man brings with him.

The Balloon Man

He always comes on market days

And holds balloons – a lovely bunch –

And in the market square he stays,

And never seems to think of lunch.

They’re red and purple, blue and green,

And when it is a sunny day

The carts and people get between

You see them shining far away.

And some are big and some are small,

All tied together with a string.

And if there is a wind at all

They tug and tug like anything.

Some day perhaps he’ll let them go

And we shall see them sailing high,

And stand and watch them from below —

They would look pretty in the sky!

              Rose Fyleman

THE YELLOW BUTTERFLY

A yellow butterfly flew around in Sonu’s garden.

     Sonu saw the butterfly. He ran to catch it.

             The butterfly flew to the rose bed. It sat on a red rose.

                 “Now I can catch it!” said Sonu. 

                    He walked slowly and silently 

                     to catch the butterfly. He came

                      closer, closer, and still closer,

                       but then...

                           Off flew the butterfly! 

                          Where did the butterfly go? 

                          Near the garden was a pond. In 

                         the pond was a white lotus.

                         Around it grew round leaves. 

                         They floated in the water.

The butterfly sailed on a floating leaf.

Sonu went splash into the water and…

Off flew the butterfly!

Where was it? Sonu looked up, he looked down.

Near the wall was a peach tree. It had pink flowers.

The butterfly sat on a pretty flower.

  “I can catch you!” shouted Sonu. He climbed

up the tree. Up, up he climbed, but….

   Back it flew, down from the tree.

   Sonu jumped down too. He

 chased the butterfly,

      From the rose,

       to the lotus, and,

       Up the peach tree, but...

        He could not catch the

butterfly.

     Sonu could not see it at

all. He looked everywhere.

At last he saw the butterfly.

 There was a big spider's 

web in the peach tree. The

butterfly was caught in the

spider’s web. It looked sad

as it tried to escape. It

fluttered its wings. It twisted

and turned. But it could not

escape. The spider’s web

held it tight.

Poor butterfly!

In the middle of the web was a big spider. It looked hungry.

It wanted to catch the butterfly.

Closer and closer crawled the black spider.

Before the hungry spider could grab it, Sonu ran and…

he caught the butterfly!

It was so pretty. It had black spots on its yellow wings.

Sonu loved the little butterfly.

But it looked sad in Sonu’s hand.

Sonu wanted it to be happy.

“Go,” said Sonu,

“Fly away!”

    H e l e t  t h e

butterfly go. It sat on the red rose. It

flew to the peach

tree and then sailed

on a lotus leaf. It

flew merrily from

flower to flower.

   Sonu watched

it fly and fly.

The butterfly flew all around Sonu’s garden….happy

and free once again.

New words

escape, pond, peach, climb, catch, middle, hungry, float,

shout, chase, flutter, twist
