Question

A.2.Read the following passage and write a short

summary of it.


Maya, a young Tibetan Lady, was a frequent

visitor to our house. We children would stare at

her almost white skin, dove eyes, little flat nose

and two long plaits, in awe. Over time, she became

my knitting teacher and a good friend. Her visits

meant story sessions, knitting and learning about

her life in Tibet. For us, Tibet was a foreign land and Maya would describe it with affection.

Sometimes she would narrate stories of how

Buddhism started in Tibet. “ Once upon a time a

King in Tibet was kidnapped. As ransom, his

enemies asked for gold equivalent to his weight.

But the king sent the word to the Prince not to

waste gold on getting him back. Instead, spend the

money to get Buddhist scholars from the holy and

compassionate land of India. Open schools and

Monasteries for the people so that they can live in

peace and knowledge'.​
