Directions: Read the given passage carefully and answer the following questions.
Once upon a time a Baby Mouse and Mother Mouse lived in a hole in the skirting board of a big, warm house with lots of cheese to eat and where they wanted nothing else. Then, one day, Mother Mouse decided to take Baby Mouse outside of their home. Waiting outside for them was a huge ginger tomcat, licking its lips and waiting to eat them both up. "Mother, Mother! What should we do?" cried Baby Mouse as he clung to his mother's tail. Mother Mouse paused and stared up into the beady eyes of the hungry cat. But she wasn't scared, because she knew exactly how to deal with big, scary cats. She opened her mouth and took in a deep breath. Woof! Woof! Woof! She shouted, and the cat ran away as fast as he could. "Wow, Mother! That was amazing!" Baby Mouse said to his mother, smiling happily. And that is why it is always good to have a second language.

Directions: Read the given passage carefully and answer the following questions.
Once a rich merchant's house was robbed. The merchant suspected that the thief was one of his servants. So he went to Birbal and mentioned the incident. Birbal went to his house and assembled all of his servants and asked who stole the merchant's things. Everybody denied. Birbal thought for a moment, then gave a stick of equal length to all the servants of the merchant and said to them that the stick of the real thief will be longer by two inches tomorrow. All the servants should be present here again tomorrow with their sticks. All the servants went to their homes and gathered again at the same place the next day. Birbal asked them to show him their sticks. One of the servants had his stick shorter by two inches. Birbal said, "This is your thief, merchant." Later the merchant asked Birbal, "How did you catch him?" Birbal said, "The thief had already cut his stick short by two inches in the night fearing that his stick will be longer by two inches by morning." Truth will always prevail.
