NCERT Solutions for Class 8 English Chapter 13: Feathered Friend
"Feathered Friend" opens Unit 5, Science and Curiosity, at about seventeen pages. It is by Arthur C. Clarke, and the preface says it explores companionship beyond human relationships through the story of a bird in space. Students read a science-fiction story, think about what living in a space station might be like and discuss friendship across species. It supports comprehension, imagination and vocabulary of space and technology, and links with the Science chapters on the skies and with the Class 7 English poem and chapter on adventure. Writing a short science-fiction scene is a lively extension.
