Question

1. Read the passage given below and answer the following questions: (5)



One evening, an old man took a small candle from a box. After lighting its wick,

he began to climb a long winding stairway. The candle asked the man where they were going. The

man answered that they were going higher than the house to show the ships the way to the harbour.

The candle wondered how a ship in the harbour could ever see its light. The candle was worried

about its size. The old man relieved her worries by telling her that even if the candle’s light is small,

she has to keep burning brightly and leave her qualms with him. When they reached the top of the

long stairs, they came to a large lamp. The old man took the little candle and lit the lamp. Soon the

large polished mirrors behind the lamp sent beams of light out across the miles of sea. Likewise we

all are God’s candles. Our job is to keep on shining. The success of our work is in His hands. A tiny

candle or match can start a forest fire. The little flame of your goodness as a role model can actually

change the life of others without you realizing it.
