Read the passage given below and answer the questions,
Once a father asked his daughters, "What is the sweetest thing in the world?7
'Sugar!' said the
elder daughter. Salt", said his younger daughter. The father thought that his younger daughter
was making fun of him, but she stuck to her opinion. The father was obstinate, and so was his
daughter. A quarrel broke out between them over this petty matter, and he drove her out of the
house saying: "If you think that salt is sweeter than sugar, you had better find another home
where the sugar is more to your taste."
It is a beautiful summer night. The pretty maiden sat singing sadly in the forest around her
father's cottage. A young prince, who had lost his way while hunting the deer, heard her
voice. He came to her to ask the way. He was struck by her beauty and took her to his
beautiful palace and married her.
The bride invited her father to the wedding feast, without telling him that she was his
daughter. All the dishes were prepared without salt
. The guests began to complain as they ate
the tasteless food. 'There is no salt in the meat!" they said angrily.
*Ah' said the bride's father. "Salt is truly the sweetest thing in the world! But when my
daughter said so. I turned her out of my house. If only I could see her again and tell her how
sorry I am!
Drawing the bridal veil aside from her face, the happy girl came to her father and kissed him
Now properly salted dishes were brought in and all the guests were satisfied.
