I. Read the given passage carefully and answer the following questions- [20]
Deep in the green glade in Golden Greece, there babbled and sparkled a
small stream, which at some place winded out into a sleepypool. One day a
young lad named Narcissus was hunting in the forest and came to one of
the pools shining in the sunlight. Being hot and thirsty, he stopped to drink
and as he bent over the smooth water, he saw in it his own form as in a
looking glass. Full of wonder he fell in love with his own image which he
had not seen before and he longed to embrace it thinking it was a water
fairy. For a few moments he gazed with delight at the picture and then he
plunged his arms into the water to catch the lovely creature he saw there.
But the face vanished in the spray and ripples and always the same thing
happened when he tried to take the fairy in his arms. Poor Narcissus! Little
did he know that he had fallen in love with his own beautiful face. Day
after day he visited the glade and at last he pined away and died by the
edge of the pool. When his friends went to remove his body for burial, they
found in place of it , snow white flower bending towards the still water of
the pool. So they named the lovely blossom Narcissus in memory of him.
