A1. Write whether the following statements are True or False: 2m
1. The incident took place at noon.
2. Kunwar wanted rest before going further.
3. Sher Singh sat on the bank of a river.
4. Sher Singh could see one old tusker.
The sky blazed with stars. Presently, the moon rose. The sight of bear tracks in the dust-the
square front paw and long back one, with the shaggy claws-made him glance round uneasily.
He had once seen a man who had been mauled by a bear all his face torn away. He quickened
his steps.
Soon, on a cliff above a river-bed, Sher Singh knew he could go no further without rest. He set
Kunwar down gently. Suddenly all Sher Singh’s muscles, shrinking back to their natural
positions, thrilled with piercing pain. He lay against a tree with his eyes shut, recovering.
It was then he heard the jostle and squeal of elephants. Below him on each side of the
shallow river-bed, the elephants travelled. He could see the cows and the babies, and one
great old tusker. He was playing his trunk to and fro to learn whatever the breeze could tell
him, and he hesitated.
Sher Singh chilled with fright. With Kunwar to carry, he could neither climb nor run. Prayer
after prayer fled up from his frightened spirit.
The tusker snorted, trumpeted, and shook his head. Suddenly he hurried on angrily up the
river-bed and all the herd with him. They disappeared.
