Question 1

Direction: Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.

Once upon a time, there lived a robber in a village. One day, he stole a temple bell and ran towards the forest. A tiger heard the jingle of the bell and became curious to locate the sound. As soon as he saw the robber, he jumped upon him and killed him at once. The bell fell on the ground. After a few days, a group of monkeys passed through that way. They spotted the bell and carried it to their home in the forest. They found the jingle of the bell very interesting. Subsequently, each one of them became very fond of the bell and started playing with it. After every tiring day, the monkeys would sit on the top of a hill in the forest in the night and enjoy the melodious sound of the bell. The people of the village were afraid of the noise. Soon afterwards the people from the village found the dead body of the robber and proclaimed, “Certainly there is an evil spirit around here that kills human beings and then rings the bell to celebrate.”

When the people heard this, they thought that a demon was haunting their village. Without giving any second thought, people started leaving the village in terror and settling in a new place. However, there was an intelligent and bold woman in that village. She thought to herself, “I don’t believe that a demon is haunting this village. I will find out who is ringing the bell.” Late in the night, she went into the forest bravely and found that a group of monkeys was playing about and ringing the bell.

Now as the woman knew the secret of the bell, she went to the King and said, “Your Majesty! I’m sure there is no evil spirit in the village and the cause of all the trouble lies somewhere else. If you grant me some money, I will get rid of it and bring happiness to the village." The King, who was also terrified of the hoax that prevailed in the village, granted the request of the woman.

The woman bought as many peas, groundnuts, and fruits with that money as she could. She went into the forest, made a circle under a tree on the ground, placed all the eatables and hid at some distance. She kept a watch on the monkeys from a distance.

As and when the monkeys saw the eatables, they dropped the bell just as the old woman had expected of them. They ran to pick the eatables. The woman picked up the bell quickly and rushed towards the village. She gave the bell in the court of the King. The King was happy with the brave woman and everyone in the village admired her bravery. The pleased King rewarded the woman for her bravery. Since that day there was no sound of the bell in the village. People returned to their village and lived happily ever after.
