Explanation
Water, air, sun, soil and forest are nature’s gifts to us. In nature everything is connected and lives together. In Zamira Ibrohimova’s tale “Suv va daraxt” (Water and the tree) in the textbook the tree disregards the spring but later understands that it cannot live without water. We read our own tale about a bee and a flower.
Worked examples
“The bee and the flower”. On a spring day a bee flew to the flowerbed. It collected sweet nectar from inside a flower. As it left, pollen stuck to its legs. When the bee landed on another flower, it dropped the pollen onto it. In this way the flowers turned into fruit. The bee collected honey and the flower gave fruit: both gained.
Nature’s gifts: water, air, sun, soil, forest.
