Question

I. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below.
(8x1=8Marks)
After the emperor had left, a crowd of people came to see me. I was a novelty in that island
because these people had never seen someone of my size before. Some of the tiny people aimed
arrows at me. One arrow nearly shot into my eye. These people were handed over to me to
punish as I pleased. To give them a fright I pretended I was going to eat one of them, and I put
the others in my pocket. When I took out my penknife, they were terrified but I cut the cords of
each of these tiny people and put them on the ground. People went to the Emperor who in return
of my kindness to his people decided that I would not be killed. On the Emperor's orders, six
cows and forty sheep were to be milked everyday to provide me with milk. My clothes were to
be made by three hundred tailors and I was to have six hundred attendants lo look after me. I was
to be taught the local language by six teachers.
