Reading Comprehension Test - 5

Directions: Read the passage carefully and answer the following question.

Once there was an illiterate villager who decided to learn to read and write as he was quite jealous when he saw others reading books and newspapers. He thought that if he had spectacles, he could also read like others. So, he went to a nearby town to buy one. He entered a shop where he was shown a number of spectacles by the shopkeeper, but he still could not read. The shopkeeper gave a doubtful look and found that the book he was reading was upside down and told him that he did not know how to read. The villager agreed and said, "That is why I want to buy reading spectacles." The shopkeeper burst into laughter when he learnt the actual reason behind his illiterate customer's demand for reading spectacles and explained to him, "My dear friend, you are very simple and ignorant. Spectacles don't help to read and write. They merely help you to see well. First of all, you must learn to read and write." So, ignorance is blindness.

Once there lived a fox and a crane who were fast friends. The fox sent an invitation to the crane which the crane gladly accepted. He went to the fox's residence. The fox served a liquid in a flat dish. The guest with its long beak could hardly pick up anything while the host slurped it in no time. Being hungry and disappointed, the crane made up his mind to teach a lesson to the fox. The crane invited fox to dine at his residence. The crane served dinner in a narrow necked jar to the fox. The crane and his long beaked friends finished it easily while the fox could not eat anything as his mouth could not go in the jar. The fox went away being ashamed and hungry. So, one must treat others as one wishes to be treated.

Directions: Read the passage carefully and answer the following question.

A fox was walking near a well. Somehow he slipped in. It was not a very deep well. He tried his best to get out but could not. At that time, a very thirsty goat passed by the well and saw the fox there. She asked the fox what he was doing there. The cunning fox replied that he had himself jumped into the well. "I find it very cool and pleasant. If you want to drink sweet and cold water, come down and experience the pleasure here." Without thinking of the result she jumped into the well. The fox at once jumped on her back, and with another jump he was out of well. The fox smiled at the poor goat and went his way leaving behind the goat to repent. Look before you leap.
