00:00Hey, look, isn't our city looking beautiful?
00:28Yes!
00:31Wow!
00:38Sandy, what are you going to do with this paper and pencil?
00:43I will write down everything that Vayu and Maya will show us
00:48so that tomorrow in school I can tell about it to all my friends
00:53Very good, Sandy
00:54Children, we should always share our knowledge with our friends and other people
00:59because by sharing we always increase our knowledge
01:03I will also share my knowledge with my friends
01:06Yes, we will only
01:12That's very nice
01:14Very nice
01:22Look, look, hey what is this coming towards us?
01:45What is this?
01:47This is an aeroplane
01:50Do you know kids, what is an aeroplane?
01:53Kids, this is a man-made flying machine
01:57It's an amazing thing because aeroplane joins together
02:01and flies in the air
02:03This is an aeroplane
02:05This is an aeroplane
02:07This is an aeroplane
02:09This is an aeroplane
02:11This is an aeroplane
02:12It's an amazing thing because aeroplane joins the whole world
02:16We can travel from one place to another place in it
02:20An aeroplane flies very high up in the sky
02:24over the mountains, over the sea
02:28Travelling by aeroplane takes less time
02:31so we can travel all over the world in few hours
02:35The aeroplane is so big
02:38Yes children, the aeroplane is made very big
02:42so that many people can travel in it at one time
02:47Who flies it?
02:49Two pilots fly the aeroplane
02:52The aeroplane has two large wings just like birds
02:56These two wings help the aeroplane to fly
02:59Look there, children the aeroplane has two wings
03:02Look there, children the aeroplane has landed
03:05Children, the place where aeroplanes land and take off
03:10is called an airport
03:13Wow!
03:16There are so many aeroplanes here
03:19Yes, many aeroplanes from all over the world
03:23land and take off from this airport
03:26See children, some aeroplanes have landed
03:29and some are ready to take off
03:31So aeroplanes are used for travelling long distance in short time
03:36Correct!
03:38We can also travel by train
03:42Kids look there, it is a train
03:57It is so long
03:58and it has many compartments
04:02Do you know kids, at a time thousands of people can travel by a train
04:07More than an aeroplane
04:09Yes
04:11Wow!
04:13Train is also a good way of transportation
04:17Children, just as an aeroplane flies in air
04:22a train runs on railway track
04:25Railway track
04:27See there, we call that railway track
04:31These railway tracks are spread all over our country
04:36and join every part of our huge country
04:40There are places where people can't go by aeroplane
04:43but they can reach that place by trains
04:45So children, trains play a very important part in our daily lives
04:50It takes thousands of people from one part of our country to another part
04:55That is why railways are also known as the lifeline of our country
05:15Look there kids, we call that a railway station
05:20Just as aeroplanes land at airports
05:22the train stops at railway station
05:26Children, there are different trains to take us to different places all across the country
05:33So whenever we want to travel by train
05:37we come to the railway station nearest to us
05:40and when our train arrives, we get on to it
05:44After the train reaches the place we want it to go
05:47it stops at the platform so that we can all get down
05:50So you see children, the railway tracks link one station to another
06:03Kids, have you ever seen a bus?
06:06Look there, this is the bus
06:08We use bus to travel shorter distances
06:11It's not so long like a train
06:15Around 40 or 50 persons can travel by bus at a time
06:20The bus runs on a road
06:22The person who drives the bus is called the driver
06:25and the person from whom we buy tickets in the bus is called the conductor
06:30Children, do you know every bus has a bus number and the name of the place where it is going?
06:36So we know in which bus we have to travel to reach the place we want to go
06:51As you have seen kids, airports are made for aeroplanes
06:56and railway stations are made for trains
06:59Similarly, bus stops are made for buses
07:03There is a long distance between two railway stations
07:08but bus stops are made at shorter distance
07:12The buses stop at the bus stops
07:15These buses run inside the city
07:18and connect various places in the city
07:22There are buses for long distance travel also
07:26We call them tourist bus
07:29These buses take us from one state to another state
07:45Hey look, there is a red light
07:50No, it's yellow
07:52But it was red
07:55Hey, now it has become green
08:00What is it?
08:02And why is it red?
08:04I don't know
08:06Let's go and see
08:08Okay
08:14Why does it keep changing its colour?
08:19Kids, this is a traffic signal
08:22It has three lights
08:24Red, yellow and green
08:26These are not just lights
08:28These are signals for the people who are driving on the road
08:31Let's see what does each signal denote
08:34The first light on the top is red
08:37When the traffic signal shows the red light
08:40it means all vehicles should stop
08:41to allow the vehicles from other direction to pass
08:46The second light from the top is yellow
08:49When the yellow light comes on
08:51it means that the signal is going to change to red
08:54so we should slow down our vehicles
08:57And the last light from the top is green
09:00When the green light comes on
09:02it means that we can drive ahead
09:04Children, traffic signals are made for our safety
09:08and we should always follow the rules of the traffic signal
09:11to avoid accidents
09:13Even if we are getting late
09:15we should not break the rules
09:17or else we can get hurt
09:19Red on top
09:21Green below
09:23Red means stop
09:25Green means go
09:27Yellow means wait
09:29even if you are late
09:31Kids, look there
09:33Can you see those thick white lines on the road?
09:36We call it zebra crossing
09:38Zebra crossing has been made for people
09:42who are walking on the road
09:44It's for their safety
09:46But these are only lines
09:49How can these lines provide us safety?
09:52Yes, these are only lines
09:54but these lines are very important
09:56Children, whenever we have to cross a road
09:59we should always use the zebra crossing
10:02There is also a signal across the zebra crossing
10:05that tells us when it is safe for us to cross the road
10:08If the signal shows the man standing
10:11then we should also stop
10:13When the signal shows a man walking
10:15then it tells that we should also cross the road
10:18Children, it is dangerous to cross the road
10:21with so many vehicles travelling
10:23so we should always use the zebra crossing
10:26and wait for the right signal to cross the road
10:39Hey, look there is one more red signal on that building
10:43but this time it has got a plus shape
10:47No, Molly
10:49This is not a red signal
10:51This is a red cross sign
10:54and this building is a hospital
10:58Children, hospital plays an important role
11:02in the development of our society
11:05Children, hospital plays an important part in our lives
11:10Whenever we fall ill
11:12our parents take us to the hospital
11:14There is a doctor in the hospital
11:16who does our check-up
11:18and gives us medicine so that we get well soon
11:21Children, look there
11:23Can you see the cross on that small house?
11:26It's called a clinic
11:28It's like a small hospital
11:30Every clinic has one or few doctors
11:32The doctors in the clinic can only cure
11:35few diseases or small illness
11:38If someone falls very ill
11:40then he has to be taken to a hospital
11:42where he can be treated properly
11:44See children, this is a big hospital
11:47So there are many doctors and nurses
11:50who cure the patients
11:52from all types of illness and injury
11:55Hey, look
11:57there is a bus also with the cross sign
11:59No dear, it is not a bus
12:02It is an ambulance
12:04See there, along with the red cross sign
12:08there is also a light on top of the ambulance
12:11Do you know kids
12:13what is the importance of an ambulance?
12:15When there is an emergency
12:17and the person has to be taken to the hospital immediately
12:21we can quickly call a hospital
12:23and ask them for an ambulance
12:25and the ambulance arrives very soon
12:29Children, when an ambulance is running on the road
12:34the light on top of the ambulance starts rotating
12:38and the ambulance gives out a loud siren
12:42as it moves ahead
12:44Why does it do that?
12:46So that the other vehicles on the road know
12:49that an ambulance is carrying a patient
12:51who needs to reach the hospital at the earliest
12:54All the other vehicles then give way to the ambulance
12:56to help it reach the hospital as soon as possible
13:00So next time you are travelling by road
13:03keep your eyes and ears open
13:05and you can surely see an ambulance
13:11Hey, where is that bell sound coming from?
13:15Look there children, it's a fire brigade's bell voice
13:19What is a fire brigade?
13:21Fire brigade is a team of fire fighters
13:24who travel on this vehicle
13:26When there is a fire in any building or anywhere else
13:30that we cannot control
13:32then we should immediately call the fire brigade
13:34The fire brigade arrives as soon as possible
13:37and the fire fighters put off the fire
13:40In this way they save our lives and our property from the fire
13:44Children, just like an ambulance gives out a siren
13:48the fire brigade has a bell attached on the top
13:51and a fire fighter keeps ringing the bell
13:53Can anyone tell me why do they do that?
13:56So that the other vehicles give way to the fire brigade
14:01and they can reach the place and stop the fire
14:06Very good
14:20Hey children, wow look there
14:23Isn't it a lovely place?
14:26Yes, we know this place
14:29This is a garden and we all play here
14:32Yes, you are right
14:34This is a garden
14:37Look carefully children
14:39It has got so many trees and flowers
14:42People come here to sit and relax under the shades of the trees
14:47and lie down on the soft grass
14:49They all enjoy the cool breeze that blows here
14:54Kids, do you know
14:56many people come here early in the morning to do exercise
15:04In the evening, parents come with their small children
15:08and children love to play in the garden
15:16Hey kids, look there
15:17and I am sure you know this place
15:20Yes, it is our school
15:22We all go to school to study
15:25Yes, it's a school
15:28Ok kids, can anyone tell me why are school important in our lives?
15:33Our teachers teach us in the school
15:36They love us and tell us so many interesting things
15:41Just like you and Maya
15:43School is very important in our lives
15:45Yes, you are right
15:47It's a place of learning
15:49The knowledge that every child must acquire
15:52In order to be actively disciplined
15:54is the difference between good and bad
15:57And teachers in our school tell us
16:00what is good and what is bad
16:02in order to help us grow into a good human being
16:16Now kids, see here
16:18This is a market place
16:23A market is always a busy place
16:26because there are so many shops
16:28Shops from where we purchase things that we use daily
16:32Like vegetables, clothes, shoes
16:36In fact, we can buy each and everything that we use in our life
16:41from the market
16:46Yes, Budo
16:48Even ice cream too
17:00Look at that red box
17:02Do you know children what we call it?
17:04We call it a post box
17:07Whenever we write a letter to our relatives or our friends
17:11we post it in a post box
17:12And then a postman collects these letters from the post box
17:16and takes it to the post office
17:18And this is the post office
17:20The postman collects all the letters from different post boxes
17:24and comes here
17:26And then from here all the letters are sent to our relatives or friends
17:30across the country
17:32Do you know kids that we can also send greetings, parcels or gifts
17:36to our relatives or friends by post?
17:43Now see this place
17:45Can anyone answer what we call this place?
17:48Hey, there are so many people eating here
17:51Yes, children
17:53Very good
17:55It is a place where people come to eat
17:58We call it a restaurant
18:00In the restaurant, there are many people
18:03They come here to eat
18:05And when they come to eat
18:07they sit here and eat
18:09We call it a restaurant
18:11In the restaurant, there are waiters who serve us
18:15and cooks who cook whatever eatables we order
18:19The restaurants serve us eatables
18:22as well as our favourite cold drinks and ice cream
18:39Kids, look at this place
18:41Do you know what we call this place?
18:44We call it a police station
18:46When a person does something wrong like stealing or robbing
18:50or any other sin
18:52and tries to hurt others
18:54then a policeman arrests him
18:56and locks him in the jail here at the police station
18:58So children, nobody should do anything to harm others
19:02or else, do you know what will happen?
19:05A policeman will arrest us
19:08and lock us in the jail
19:36Look at this place
19:43There are many animals and birds
19:46as they were at the farmhouse
19:58But why are they in cages?
20:00At farmhouse, they were not in cages
20:03Yes, because they were all domestic animals
20:06But here, all these animals are wild animals
20:10They can harm us, so they are kept in cages
20:13And the place where we keep wild animals and birds
20:17is called a zoo
20:19In a zoo, we see all types of birds and animals
20:23from around the world
20:25By visiting a zoo, we get to know about various animals
20:28birds and snakes
20:30that live on our planet
20:33Now look at that building, children
20:41It's a bank
20:43Yes
20:45Bank
20:47Bank is a place where we deposit our valuable items
20:51like money and jewelries
20:53We deposit our valuables in a bank
20:56and deposit our valuables in a bank
20:59To deposit the money in the bank
21:02we have to open an account with the bank
21:05In this way, we and the bank know
21:08how much money we have deposited
21:11We deposit money in the bank
21:14because the bank gives us interest on the money we deposit there
21:19It means that when we put our money in the bank
21:23it grows
21:24So, whenever we have more money
21:27we go to the nearest bank
21:29and deposit it in our account
21:32And when we are in need of the money
21:35we can withdraw a part of it from our deposit
21:40So you see children
21:42there are so many things around us
21:45that make our lives simple
21:55Wow!
21:57I can't wait to tell about all these things to my friends at school
22:02Yes
22:04Tomorrow I will tell about this to all my friends
22:08They all will be surprised
22:10We all will tell our friends about the city
22:14and how many interesting places we have in our city
22:18So, let's go
22:20Let's go
22:21How many interesting places we have in our city
22:25Good
22:27I think we should go back
22:29It's getting late now
22:31Yes, the sun is setting and it will be dark soon
