Exercise 1. Underline the nouns in the following story and indicate what kind of nou
they are
The great Alexander once visited the studio of a sculptor in
Athens. The studio was full of statues, one of which looked rather
strange. Its face was covered and there were wings on its feet.
"What statue is this?" asked Alexander.
"It represents opportunity," said the sculptor. "The covered face
means that people are not able to recognise an opportunity when
it approaches. Its wings suggest that it moves off at a great
speed. And once it is gone, it does not come back."
Alexander the Great
Alexander was greatly impressed. He said, "You are really a great artist. You have
shown me not only beauty but wisdom also. I too have always believed that grabbin
an opportunity and using it to our advantage is the key to success."
