Directions (1-10) Read the following passagecarefully and answer the questions given belowit. Certain words/phrases have been printed inbold to help you locate them while answeringsome of the questions.

Once a king saw some young boys peltingstones on a snake. He prevented the boys fromkilling the snake. Thus, he saved its life. Thesnake, which was the king of the Snake-World,thanked him and favoured him with asupernatural gift by which he could understandthe language of any animal. But he warned himthat the divulgence of the secret would cost himhis life.

One day, when the king was sitting in hisgarden and enjoying breakfast, a small portion ofthe sweet fell on the ground. Soon he heard anant shouting, "My God, what a big wagonful ofsweet has fallen; and there is none to consumeit. Ah ! I can enjoy all, now." Hearing this, theking smiled and chuckled. The queen, who wassitting next to him, was curious to note thechanging countenance of the king. She askedhim to tell her the reason for the smile. But theking kept silent; as the divulgence of the secretwould cost him his life. The queen felt offendedand thought that there was something which theking did not want to tell in public.

At night, when the king was relaxing in theverandah, the queen repeated the same questionand demanded the answer. The king then toldher that the divulgence of that secret would costhim his life. Nonetheless, the queen persistedby throwing tantrums. Still when the king kepthis silence, she attacked his self-respect bycalling him a 'liar' and muttered that all hisexpressions of endearment like -"You are dearerto me than my very life"—were nothing but a packof lies. The king, however, could not bear theattacks on his self-respect and eventuallyconceded to divulge the secret on the followingday in the royal garden; and made up his mind tosacrifice his life.

A donkey overheard the king's resolve anddecided to save him, because the king wasrighteous. So, he picked up one of his friends—the goat and they both decided to save the king.

Next day, when the king and his retinueswere on the way to the royal park, the donkeyand the goat stood conversing on one side of thepath. The king overhead the goat saying to thedonkey, "You are a fool but not as big a fool as isthe king." Having heard so, the king was curiousto know as to why was he being called a 'biggerfool'. So, he asked the goat "Why do you thinkthat I am a bigger fool than a donkey?" The goatreplied, "Look O king ! Today you are going to dieto please your wife; but tomorrow when your wifeinherits all your wealth to enjoy it with a newmate would she ever think of you?" Thisstatement of the goat opened the eyes of the kingand he realised his folly. He then reconsideredhis decision to die to please his queen andresolved not to sacrifice his precious life. So, hesaid to the goat "Pray, then tell me what to do asI am now committed to tell the secret".

The goat said, "If you want to come out of themess then go and tell her that you are ready toreveal to her the secret on the condition that sheagrees to receive one hundred lashes on her back".

When the king reached the garden, he saidto the queen, "I am now ready to tell you thesecret on the condition that you are willing toreceive one hundred lashes in return". Thequeen considered the condition a joke andnodded in agrement. The king then waved at oneof his guards to lash her with all his power. Andno sooner did she receive two lashes than shewailed and shouted "No! No! Stop, do not lash me! I don't want to know the secret, now".

The king then said scornfully, "You wantedto know the secret at the cost of my life; but nowyou don't want to-know because you have to saveyour skin. You deserve a few more lashes."Butbefore he could order his man to give her a fewmore lashes, the king's trust worthy minister
