One afternoon, a Lion had just finished his meal and decided to take his afternoon nap. The Lion had just closed his eyes, when a Gnat saw him.

Now, this Gnat, though active and young, was also haughty and over-confident. He was extremely daring and he attacked the Lion. The Lion was very angry and woke up with a start. But the Gnat did not stop. He kept stinging the Lion’s nose, eyes and ears. The Lion roared in pain. He tried to crush the Gnat but all his attempts went in vain. The Gnat had no pity on the poor beast.

At last the poor Lion was exhausted and bleeding on the ground. The Gnat, extremely pleased on his victory over the King of the forest, hovered over the spot, praising himself and feeling joyful. His pleasure blinded him so much, that while flying, he suddenly got stuck in a Spider-web. No matter how much he tried, the Gnat could not escape.

Thus, the Gnat who had defeated the mighty Lion became the prey of the Spider

Why did the Lion roar painfully?

• Because the Gnat celebrated his victory of the fight

• Because the Gnat attacked him with the stings.

• As the Gnat and his friends attacked him

• As the Gnat flew above his head.

Hi Tom. How’s life? We’re going to have a long holiday this summer, aren’t we? What are you going to do? You know, summer is a good time for camping and hiking. We are planning to go to the Devon Mountain as we did before. It’s a nice place for camping and hiking. It’s also a nice place for fishing. There’s a river near the campsite, but I’m not keen on it. At night we’ll sit around the fire and sing songs. Why don’t you join us? It’ll be more fun if you come.

Let me know soon.

Your best friend,

Rajiv

One day long ago, some sailors set out to sea in their sailing ship. One of them brought his pet monkey along for the long journey.

When they were far out at sea, a terrible storm overturned their ship. Everyone fell into the sea, and the monkey was sure that he would drown. Suddenly a dolphin appeared and picked him up.

They soon reached the island and the monkey came down from the dolphin’s back. The dolphin asked the monkey, “Do you know this place?” The monkey replied, “Yes, I do. In fact, the king of the island is my best friend. Do you know that I am actually a prince?”

Knowing that no one lived on the island, the dolphin said, “Well, well, so you are a prince! Now you can be a king!” The monkey asked, “How can I be a king?” As the dolphin started swimming away, he answered, “That is easy. As you are the only creature on this island, you will naturally be the king!”

Where were the sailors when the storm overthrew their ship?

• Far out at sea

• On an island.

• On the dolphin’s back.

• In the harbour.
