CLASS - V SUBJECT – ENGLISH

SECTION A [READING]

A1. Read the following passage and answer the questions given below:

A Crow in the House A young crow had fallen from its nest and was fluttering about on the road. It was in danger there. So, I brought it home. It was in a sorry condition. We did not expect it to live. But my grandfather and I tried our best to save his life. We fed it by opening its beak gently with a pencil. We pushed in a little bread and milk, then removed the pencil to allow it to swallow. As a result, the young crow was soon on its way to recovery. We were then prepared to let him go. We thought he would want to be free and go with other crows. Instead, he made himself at home in our house. My grandmother, Aunt Mable and even some of my grandfather’s other pets did not like this. But there was no way of getting rid of the bird. We were not sure if he was a male bird, but we called him Caesar. Before long, Caesar was joining us at meal times. He gave us no peace till he had been given his small bowl of meat, soup and vegetables. He was always restless and curious. He would hop about a table to empty a match box of its contents or rip the daily paper to

shreds. He would overturn a vase of flowers or tug at the tail of one of the dogs. “The crow is a menace,” grumbled grandmother. He did not show any desire to join the other crows in the banyan tree. Grandfather said this was because he was really a raven – a jungle crow- and probably felt superior to ordinary crows. 1. Why was the crow brought home?

SYMPATHY

I lay in sorrow, in deep distress; My grief a proud man heard; His looks were cold, he gave me gold, But not a kindly word My sorrow passed – I paid him back The gold he gave to me; Then stood erect and spoke my thanks And blessed his charity. I lay in want, and grief and pain; A poor man passed my way, He bound my head, he gave me bread, He watched me night and day. How shall I pay him back again? For all he did to me? Oh, gold is great, but greater far Is heavenly sympathy.
