Chuskit Goes to School Class 4 Notes EVS Chapter 27

Chuskit’s Dream

• Today is a very special day for Chuskit. She's been eagerly waiting for it because today, for the first time ever, she's going to school. Chuskit is ten years old. Her school isn't too far from her house. 
• To get there, you have to take the big road, walk along the lake, cross the river near the poplar trees, and then climb a small hill to reach the school. That's how all the kids from Skitpo Pul village get to school, except for Chuskit.
• Chuskit realized she was different from other kids because she couldn't do the things they could. It was because of her legs. Since she was born, Chuskit hasn't been able to use her legs.

Chuskit’s Chair

• Chuskit loved drawing near the window all day. Her mother praised her drawings, making her happy. But she became even happier when her father got her a wheelchair with wheels. Chuskit quickly learned how to use it, moving it back and forth on her own. Now, she didn't need her father to carry her everywhere. 

• Whenever she wanted to go outside, she asked her mother to put her in the wheelchair, and she could come out on her own. Chuskit would see the other children playing and laughing on their way to school every morning. She wished she could go with them.

• One day, Abdul visited her with a letter and asked why she didn't go to school. Chuskit sadly explained that she couldn't walk, her father couldn't carry her to school every day, and the road to school wasn't suitable for her wheelchair. 

• She also didn't know how she could cross the river. Abdul asked if she wanted to go to school if she could, and Chuskit excitedly said yes, expressing her desire to study and play like the other children. However, her grandfather cautioned her against dreaming too much, reminding her of the challenges she faced.

A Good Idea

• After Abdul left Chuskit's house, he started thinking about how to help her go to school. He talked to the Headmaster and convinced the teachers to help too. 

• Everyone worked together to solve Chuskit's problem. They made a plan so that Chuskit could bring her wheelchair to school. They needed to make the road and the area near the river flat so Chuskit could move easily. 
• They also built a small bridge across the river for her. Everyone worked hard, and Chuskit's parents provided refreshments for everyone helping. By evening, they finished the work, and Chuskit was very happy. 
• Finally, the special day arrived, and Chuskit was ready and excited to go to school.

Summary 

• Chuskit is a 10-year-old girl who can't walk. She watches other kids play on their way to school and wishes she could join them. 
• Unfortunately, her wheelchair can't move on the bumpy road. Her friend Abdul comes up with a plan: one group levels the road, while another makes the area near the river smooth. 
• They build a small bridge with flat pieces of wood so Chuskit can cross the river in her wheelchair. 
• Finally, Chuskit gets to go to school for the first time, thanks to her friends' efforts.

Theme 

• The theme of the story is about overcoming challenges and the importance of inclusion. It teaches us that with determination and support from others, we can overcome obstacles and achieve our dreams.
• In easy words, the story shows us how Chuskit, a girl who couldn't walk, wanted to go to school like other children. Her friend Abdul and the community worked together to make it possible for her by levelling the road and building a bridge. 
• This teaches us the value of helping others and making sure everyone has equal opportunities, regardless of their challenges. It also encourages us to be supportive and inclusive towards those who may face difficulties.
