I had been in the hills for a few days only when I heard the song of the Himalayan whistling thrush. I did not see the bird that day. It kept to the deep shadows of the ravine below the stone cottage. I was sitting at the window, gazing out at the new leaves on the walnut and wild pear trees. All was still: the wind was at peace with itself, the mountains brooded massively under a darkening sky. Then, emerging from the depths of the forest like a dark sweet secret, came the indescribably beautiful call of whistling thrush. It is a song that never fails to thrill me. The bird starts with a hesitant schoolboy whistle as though trying out a new melody, then confident of the tune, it bursts into a full song, a crescendo of sweet notes and variation that ring clearly across the mountain side. Then suddenly the song breaks off, right in the middle of cadenza, and the enchanted listener is wondering what happened to make the bird stop so suddenly. Nothing really: because a few moments later the song is taken up again.
a) Answer the following questions briefly:
i) Where was the narrator?
ii)What is mentioned as the dark sweet secret?
iii)How is the song of the bird described?
iv)What happens when the bird stops singing?
