Answers
Answer:
a) How do mongooses kill snakes?
Ans : A mongoose kills a snake by dodging each time the snake strikes. They continually make a nuisance of themselves, until, after a while, when the snake gets tired, it quickly dives in for the kill.
b) Why was Rasheed upset
Ans : Rasheed was upset because he thought he was unlucky at the game of chance
c) What happened to the crow in the end in the story The Banyan Tree"?
Ans: In the end, they took part in the game. Both tried to pick up the cobra for their meal. The crow got bitten and died. The mongoose dragged the snake away into the bushes.
d) How does the hump of the camels help them to survive when there is no wate
Ans: The humps of the camels help the animal to survive in the desert, by acting as storage containers. The hump is full of fat that nourishes the camel when food is scarce. If they have nothing to eat for several days, their humps shrink as the fat is used up.
