ENGLISH WORKSHEET

Name _________________________Roll no. ______ Sec-_______

Q1. Read the following passage and answer the following questions. A long time ago, on a big tree in the lap of the mountain, lived a bird named

Sindhuka. It was a rather special bird because its droppings turned into gold

as soon as they hit the ground. One day, a hunter came to the tree in search

of prey and he saw Sindhuka's droppings hit the ground and turn into gold.

The hunter was struck with wonder. He thought, "I have been hunting birds

and small animals since I was a boy, but in all my 80 years, I have never

seen such a miraculous creature. He decided that he had to catch the bird

somehow. He climbed the tree and skilfully set a trap for the bird. The bird,

quite unaware of the danger it was in, stayed on the tree and sang merrily.

But it was soon caught in the hunter's trap. The hunter immediately seized it

and pushed it into a cage. The hunter took the bird home joyfully. But as he

had time to think over his good fortune later, he suddenly realised, "If the king

comes to know of this wonder, he will certainly take away the bird from me

and he might even punish me for keeping such a rare treasure all to myself.

So it would be safer and more honourable if I were to go to the king and

present the unique bird to him," The next day, the hunter took the bird to the

king and presented it to him. The king was delighted to receive such an

unusual and rare gift. He told his courtiers to keep the bird safe and feed it

with the best bird food available. The king's prime minister though, was

reluctant to accept the bird. He said "O Rajah, how can you believe the word

of a foolish hunter and accept this bird? Has anyone in our kingdom ever

seen abird dropping gold? The hunter must be either crazy or telling lies. I

think it is best that you release the bird from the cage." After a little thought,

the king felt that his prime minister's words were correct. So he ordered the

bird to be released. But as soon as the door of the cage was thrown open,

the bird flew out, perched itself on a nearby doorway and defecated. To

everyone's surprise, the dropping immediately turned into gold. The king

mourned his loss.
