Question

I.Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow. (5)

One day Gandhiji and Vallabhai Patel were talking when Gandhiji remarked,

‘At times even a dead snake can be useful.’ And he narrated the following story

to illustrate his point. Once, a snake trespassed into the house of an old woman.

She was frightened and cried out for help. Hearing her loud cries, the

neighbours rushed in and killed the snake. Then they went back to their homes.

Instead of throwing the dead snake far away, the old woman flung it on to her

roof.

Sometime later, a kite was flying overhead when it spotted the dead snake. The

kite was holding a pearl necklace in its beak. When it saw the dead snake, it

dropped the necklace on the roof and flew away with the dead snake. When the

old woman saw a bright, shining object on her roof, she pulled it down with the

help of a pole. When she found that it was a pearl necklace, she danced with

immense joy.

One day a trader found a snake in his house. He couldn’t find anyone to kill it

for him and hadn’t the courage to kill it himself. Besides, he hated killing any

living creatures. So he covered the snake with a pot and left it there.As luck

would have it, that night some thieves broke into the trader’s house. They

entered the kitchen and saw the overturned pot. ‘Ah’, they thought, ‘the trader

has hidden something valuable here.’ As they lifted the pot, the snake hissed and

the thieves ran for their life.
