Summary / Overview (āĻŽূāϞ āĻ­াā§ą)

The lesson A Precious Gift is presented as a heartfelt letter written by a boy named Nishant to his friend Rishika. In the letter, Nishant shares a life-changing incident involving his father, who met with a serious accident and lost a life-threatening amount of blood. His father's life was saved only because his uncle and a friend donated matching blood in time. This experience made Nishant realize the importance of blood donation and how ordinary people can save lives, just like doctors.

The lesson also provides valuable scientific knowledge about blood transfusion. It highlights the groundbreaking discovery of blood groups (A, B, O, and AB) by the Austrian scientist Karl Landsteiner in 1900, which made safe transfusions possible and earned him a Nobel Prize. The chapter encourages healthy individuals to donate blood, explaining that the human body easily replenishes the donated blood, making it a safe and incredibly precious gift to society.

Dear Rishika,

I was a little bit tense, but your letter cheered me up as it always does.

Do you know, you are the only friend with whom I communicate through letters?

But the joy I get by reading your letters is something special.

You know, my mother always encourages me to write letters.

She tells me, though it seems outdated now, in their time they used to write letters to their friends or relatives who live in other places.

But after I started writing to you, I could also feel the warmth and joy that writing a letter and receiving one could give.

Now, let me tell you why I was tense.

Suddenly my mother came running and told me in a shaky voice that someone from the police station had called her and informed her that my father had had an accident.

My uncle was also with us.

The doctor told us that my father had lost so much blood that he was in danger of losing his life.

The doctor said that unless he was given blood he would not survive.

Luckily my uncle's and his best friend's blood group matched with my father's.

Before this incident, I hadn't realized that other people could also save someone's life apart from the doctors.

Do you know that this process of channelling blood from one person to another is called a transfusion of blood.

Victims of accidents and patients who lose their blood due to any surgical procedure or other reasons are given such transfusion of blood.

Blood for such a transfusion is preserved in blood banks.

Whenever there is a need, one can get blood from the blood banks.

To keep the blood fresh for use, it is kept in cold chambers.

You know, any healthy person can donate blood.

In fact, hundreds of people donate their blood at regular intervals to various blood banks in our cities and towns.

This is such a noble cause!

So many lives can be saved if they get blood in time just like my father!

Actually, the human body is a remarkable machine; it functions in such a way that whatever blood has been taken from it is soon substituted by new blood replenished by the body's internal mechanism.

āφāϚāϞāϤে, āĻŽাāĻ¨ā§ą āĻļā§°ীā§°āϟো āĻāĻ• āφāϚ⧰িāϤ āϝāύ্āϤ্ā§°; āχ āĻāύেāĻĻā§°ে āĻ•াāĻŽ āϕ⧰ে āϝে āχāϝ়াā§° āĻĒā§°া āϝিāĻ–িāύি āϤেāϜ āϞোā§ąা āĻšāϝ় āϏেāϝ়া āĻ…āϤি āϏোāύāĻ•াāϞেāχ āĻļā§°ীā§°ā§° āĻ­িāϤ⧰ুā§ąা āĻĒ্ā§°āĻ•্ā§°িāϝ়াā§° āĻĻ্āĻŦাā§°া āύāϤুāύ āϤেāϜেā§°ে āĻĒুāύ⧰ āĻĒূā§°āĻŖ āĻšৈ āϝাāϝ়।

So, it is totally harmless for a healthy person to donate blood.

āϏেāϝ়েāĻšে, āĻāϜāύ āϏুāϏ্āĻĨ āĻŦ্āϝāĻ•্āϤিā§° āĻŦাāĻŦে āϤেāϜ āĻĻাāύ āϕ⧰াāϟো āϏāĻŽ্āĻĒূā§°্āĻŖā§°ূāĻĒে āύিā§°াāĻĒāĻĻ।

Then, tell me, who would not love to present such a precious gift?

However, doctors test the blood before a transfusion.

If the blood group matches and if there are no other harmful substances in the blood then only such blood is considered to be fit for a transfusion.

This method of taking out blood and giving it to needy patients was developed in 1914.

Before that also doctors had tried this process but in vain.

Those early doctors who tried a transfusion of blood found that some patients died after such transfusion and some others survived.

Finally, in 1900, the Austrian scientist Karl Landsteiner solved the mystery after years of hard work.

āĻļেāώāϤ, ⧧⧝ā§Ļā§Ļ āϚāύāϤ āĻ…āώ্āϟ্ā§°িāϝ়াā§° āĻŦিāϜ্āĻžাāύী āĻ•াā§°্āϞ āϞেāĻŖ্āĻĄāώ্āϟেāχāύাā§°ে āĻŦāϛ⧰ āĻŦāϛ⧰ āϧ⧰ি āϕ⧰া āĻ•āĻ োā§° āĻĒā§°িāĻļ্ā§°āĻŽā§° āĻŽূā§°āϤ āĻāχ ā§°āĻšāϏ্āϝ⧰ āϏāĻŽাāϧাāύ āϕ⧰ে।

Later in 1930, he received the Nobel Prize for medicine for this.

āĻĒিāĻ›āϤ ā§§ā§¯ā§Šā§Ļ āϚāύāϤ āϤেāĻ“ঁ āχāϝ়াā§° āĻŦাāĻŦে āϚিāĻ•িā§ŽāϏা āĻŦিāϜ্āĻžাāύ⧰ āύ'āĻŦেāϞ āĻŦঁāϟা āϞাāĻ­ āϕ⧰ে।

Landsteiner showed that the particles in human blood varied from person to person.

āϞেāĻŖ্āĻĄāώ্āϟেāχāύাā§°ে āĻĻেāĻ–ুā§ąাāχāĻ›িāϞ āϝে āĻŽাāύুāĻšā§° āϤেāϜ⧰ āĻ•āĻŖিāĻ•াāĻŦোā§° āĻāϜāύ⧰ āĻĒā§°া āφāύāϜāύāϞৈ āĻŦেāϞেāĻ— āĻŦেāϞেāĻ— āĻšāϝ়।

Based on this, he divided human blood into four groups, A, B, O, and AB.

So, a person cannot just take anyone's blood: their blood groups must match to start a transfusion.

When the blood of the wrong group is transfused, the result will be life-threatening.

Another important thing is that some people cannot donate blood.

People who are diabetic or suffering from another blood-related disease cannot donate blood.

Writing Activity: Final English Stories

Activity Story 1: The Real Mother
Once upon a time, two women were fighting over a small baby. Both women loudly claimed, "This child is mine!". Since they could not stop fighting, they went to the court of a wise judge. The judge listened to both women carefully but could not easily find the truth.

Suddenly, he got a clever idea. He ordered his guards, "Cut the child into two equal pieces and give half to each woman". Hearing this terrible order, the first woman remained completely silent. However, the second woman started crying out of fear for the baby's life. She immediately gave up her claim and begged the judge, "Please, my lord! Don't cut the child. Give the baby to her, but let him live".

The judge immediately knew who the real mother was. He decided to give the baby safely to the second woman because a real mother would never let her child die. He then punished the other woman for lying.

Moral: A mother's love is true and selfless. / Truth always wins.
Activity Story 2: The Clever Crow
One hot summer day, a thirsty crow was flying here and there in search of water. He looked everywhere but could not find any water to drink. Suddenly, he saw a jug kept in a garden. He quickly flew down to it with great hope.

However, he saw that there was very little water inside the jug. He tried to drink it, but his beak could not reach the water. He tried very hard but failed. He became sad and almost lost hope.

Just then, he saw a small mound of pebbles lying on the ground nearby. A clever idea came to his mind. He picked up the pebbles one by one with his beak and dropped them into the jug. Slowly, the water in the jug rose up. When the water reached the brim, the crow became very happy. He drank the water to his heart's content and flew away happily.

Moral: Where there is a will, there is a way.
