The NBSE Class 10 English textbook contains many interesting chapters. There are stories, poems, and a play. By reading them, students can improve their English skills.
The first prose chapter is a Naga folktale called ‘Mehouviu and Morusa’. It is about a young warrior named Morusa and a girl named Mehouviu, who were supposed to get married. But a mistake by Morusa led to Mehouviu’s death. The next chapter, ‘Imitating the English Gentleman’, is about Mahatma Gandhi’s experiences in London as a law student.
