Seen Comphrension for JSC Exam

# Read the following passage and answer the questions given below :
Mrs. Ayesha Amin liked to tell stories to her students every month. She told them from memory, because she didn’t like to read to her students from story books. ‘Did Aesop read stories form books?’ Asked Kishan. ‘Oh, no.’ replied Mrs. Amin. ‘If you stand in front of people and read from
a book, it’s boring!’ She exclaimed.
All the students liked Mrs. Amin’s stories. ‘What kind of stories did Aesop tell?’ Asked Anwar. ‘Fables,’ replied Mrs. Amin. ‘Do you know, what fables are?’ Nobody replied, because nobody knew. ‘Well, continued Mrs. Amin. ‘Fable are stories with a message or moral. They help to teach a lesson, like, ‘Work hard, don’t be lazy.’ In fact, that’s the moral of my story this morning. You’ve all helped to make our school better and worked very hard in the school garden. Now we can see the result. My story’s about that.’ ‘Was Aesop like a teacher then?’ asked Sarah. ‘Well, yes.’ replied Mrs. Amin. ‘He liked to teach people, but he also liked to entertain them. People like being entertained. ‘They learn better when they enjoy themselves.’ Aesop thought and I agree with him. Stories with a moral help to make us wiser!
