The Sportsman spirit is important as you should enjoy the game while playing and also concentrate on winning. Hence, a few times you might lose the game, if the opponent is strong.

(f) Explain how the title of the story, ‘Change of Heart’, is suitable.
Answer:
“Change of Heart” is a fitting title for this story because Prabhat changes his way of thinking. At first, he only cares about winning, but later he learns to enjoy playing games, no matter if he wins or loses. This change in Prabhat’s attitude is what the title “Change of Heart” means. It’s like he had a change of mind, and now he sees things differently.

Change of Heart
Good morning, everyone. I know you all are excited about the Friday, friendly matches. This Friday we shall have three matches—one for chess, the next for kho-kho and finally one for badminton. I have put up the kho-kho teams’ name list on the sports notice board. Since this is a team game, your class VI-B shall be playing against the VI-D kho-kho team. The kho-kho match refreshments are being sponsored by Xydium Sports Club. Let me clarify, the spelling is X-Y-D-I-U-M, Xydium.
Now the place for the matches—the first one is chess. It’ll take place in the 1st-floor activity room with Vani as the scorekeeper. Kho-kho will be played on the sport’s ground where I will be the referee. For badminton, we have chosen the multipurpose hall on the ground floor hall. The net will be put up there.
For the chess match, it has been decided that this match shall be played between Sarita and Nupur. Two matches will be played during the regular games period on Friday but khokho will be played in the 2nd and 3rd periods. Remember the kho-kho team names are up on the Sports’ Notice Board.
Good luck!
