Neha's Alarm Clock Chapter Notes | English for Class 4 PDF Download

Detailed Summary

Once upon a time, there was a girl named Neha who had a big problem with her alarm clock. Every morning, it would ring loudly at six o'clock, waking her up from her cozy bed. Neha didn't like this at all. She wished she could sleep a little longer, but the persistent alarm clock always had other plans. One day, Neha's alarm clock fell and stopped working. She was overjoyed because now she could sleep in the next morning without any disturbances. The following day, there was no alarm to wake her up, and Neha slept in, missing the chirping birds at her window. When Neha finally woke up, it wasn't the alarm clock or the birds that disturbed her sleep, but the bright Sun shining into her room. She was not pleased with this interruption either. The next day, even the Sun seemed to hide behind the clouds, allowing Neha to sleep until her mother woke her up, urging her not to miss the school bus. Neha couldn't escape her mother's wake-up calls, and she grumpily got ready for the day. The following morning, Neha woke up at six o'clock, confused about who had woken her up. Her mother playfully reminded her that she was responsible for waking herself up. Neha's mother then explained to her how her body had an internal clock that told her when to eat, sleep, and wake up. Neha was surprised by this revelation but hurried to get ready, only to discover it was Sunday, and she could relax without worrying about the bus. In the end, Neha learned the importance of listening to her body's natural rhythms and enjoying the moments of rest that each day brought. This story teaches us that sometimes disruptions in our routine can lead to unexpected joys and that listening to our body's signals is essential for a balanced and healthy life.
