Task 6
Read and Explore
1. What were the three observations the storyteller made
The three observations were: the large objects fell into the whirlpool quicker; and the round objects and tube-shaped objects did not go into the whirlpool as quickly.
2. Why did the storyteller survive while his elder brother didn’t
The fisherman survived because he was calm in the whirlpool and made clear observations. Based on the observation, he saved himself by tying himself to a barrel to help him float and jumped into the sea.
Group Work Think and share.
Task 7
4. What lessons have you learnt from the story Give your reasons.
From this story, we learn that staying calm is very important even when we are in an extremely dangerous situation. At the same time, we should observe what is happening and try to find out ways to escape from the danger.
3.What does the storyteller mean by “it took only six hours to break my body and soul”
The Moskoe-strom lasted six hours. This broke his body as the storm battered him about. It broke his soul as he lost two brothers in that time. The terror of the maelstr m has had a very negative effect on his mind and body, which he doesn’t think they will ever recover from.
5. What is the story trying to say about the relationship between humans and nature
The story shows the following relationships between humans and nature:
Humans depend on nature.
Human power is so small compared with nature.
Humans may be destroyed by nature under certain circumstances.
Mother Nature is good, but also cruel butcher.
大自然是善良的慈母，同时也是冷酷的屠夫。
