Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions.
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 quarrelling, so there was no peace. “I’ll either
have to go and live alone in the jungle, or I’ll completely mad!” Ruplal
exclaimed. “I don’t want to 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 quiet 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 the 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.

The six blind men argued because they
couldn’t agree with each other. The teacher let them argue with each other for sometime.
Then he cried out, “Stop now! Stop and listen to me!” When the six blind men
heard their teacher, they felt ashamed and stop arguing. “We’re sorry,” they
said. “We forgot about you. Would you help us? We’ve all felt your elephant but
unfortunately we can’t agree about it”. The teacher laughed, “Yes, you’ve all
got different opinions, but you’re all right”. The six blind men were confused.
“How can we all be right?” they asked. “We don’t agree with each other.” “I
thought you all felt the elephant,” the teacher said. “Yes, we did, but our
experiences weren’t the same,” they replied. “But then, if we all felt the same
elephant, how could they be different? We don’t understand.” The teacher
laughed again. “I’ve lived in this forest for many years,” he said. “It’s dark
here because of trees. And the sky is far away; a small circle of light.” “Is
the sky a small circle of light?” asked the six blind men. “Is the elephant a wall,
