Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.

Mike and Morris lived in the same village. While Morris owned the largest jewelry shop in the

village, Mike was a poor farmer. Both had large families with many sons, daughters-in- law and grand

children. One fine day, Mike tired of not being able to feed his family, decide to leave the village and move

to the city where he was certain to earn enough to feed everyone. Along with his family, he left the village

for the city. At night, they stopped under a large tree. There was a stream running nearby where they could

freshen up themselves. He told his sons to clear the area below the tree, he told his wife to fetch water and

he instructed his daughters-in-law to make fire and started cutting wood from the tree himself. They didn’t

in the branches of the tree, there was a thief hiding. He watched as Mike’s family worked together and also

noticed that they had nothing to cook. Mike’s wife also thought the same and asked her husband

“everything is ready but what shall we eat?. Mike raised his hands to heaven and said “don’t worry. He is

watching all of this from above. He will help us”.

The thief got worried as he has seen that the family was large and worked well together. Taking

advantage of the fact that they did not know he was hiding in the branches, he decided to make a quick

escape. He climbed down safely when they were not looking and ran for his life. But he left behind the

bundle of stolen jewels and the money which dropped into Mike’s la. Mike opened it and jumped with joy

when he saw the contents.

The family gathered all the belongings and returned to the village. There was a great excitement

when they told everyone how they got rich.

Morris thought that the tree was miraculous and this was nice and quick way to make money. He

ordered his family to pack some clothes and they set off as if on a journey. They stopped under the same

tree and Morris started commanding everyone as Mike had done . but none obeyed being a rich family

they always had servants to help them.

Morris wife asked everything is ready what shall we eat Morris said don’t worry he is watching all

this from above. he will help us.

As soon as he finished saying this the thief jumped down with a knife and stole everything they

had.
