Part-A : Reading Test
Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions following it.
A long time ago in a small village near the jungle, there lived a young man called Ruplal. He lived with his family and worked on a farm, but he didn’t like it there. It was a beautiful place, but there were a lot of problems. The village people were always quarreling. So there was no peace. “I’ll either have to go and live alone in the jungle or I’ll go completely mad!” Ruplal exclaimed. I do not stay here one more day!
So he collected his things and went to live by himself in the jungle. Ruplal made a nice little hut for himself in the jungle with wood, bamboo and reeds. There he lived in peace and quite all by himself. “Ah, how happy I am now!” He thought to himself. Then, one day after a few weeks, he discovered something strange. In his blanket there was a hole. “Who made this hole?” Ruplal asked. He looked around him, but nobody replied. “I don’t understand. There’s either somebody here, or the hole just made itself!” That night, while Ruplal was sleeping, he heard a noise. Either someone or something was eating his blanket. “Who’s that?” Ruplal shouted. “Go away and leave me alone!” Outside the moon was shining brightly and Ruplal saw something small. It was a mouse. “Right”, he thought, “I’ll bring my cat here. Then I’ll be able to sleep in peace!”
