I) Read the following paragraphs and answer the questions below :-

Before I could ask someone, a strange thing happened. From nowhere appeared a little

dwarf, followed by another man carrying a hairy dog-skin. Then, to my perfect

amazement, the dwarf went down on all the fours on a chalk mark on the floor, just like

an animal, aped over him. Then he crawled and the dog-skin was draped over him. Then

he crawled from one mark to another, and the cameraman got busy with the lights. It

finally dawned upon me that this dwarf was paid to be the dog's stand-in!

Every animal in a Hollywood film is well-trained. It is not difficult to train a horse or a

dog. But have you ever heard of trained ravens ravens? Not just one or two, but nearly a

hundred of them? Even this was made possible in Hollywood, when the creator of some

of the best suspense films in the history of cinema, Alfred Hitchcock, decided to make a

film called Birds. In the story, birds from all over the world start attacking humans.

Hitchcock needed a variety of birds, but what was required in the largest number was

ravens. Notices were placed in the press all over the United States, asking people to

contact the film maker if they knew how to get hold of trained ravens.
