Question

Read the following passage and answers the question accordingly.

There was once a bundle of matches, who were all extremely proud of their

high descent, for the all tall fir tree, from which each of them was a splinter, had

been a tree of great antiquity and distinguished by his height form all the other trees

of the forest. The matches were now lying on the mantel piece between a tinder-box

and an old iron saucepan, and to these two they often talked about their youth. "Ah,

when we were upon the green branches", said they, when we really lived upon green

branches-that was a happy time! Every morning and evening we had diamond tea:

that is dew; the whole day long we has sunshine, at least whenever the sun shone,

and all the little birds used to tell stories to tell stories to us. It might easily be seen,

too that we were rich for the other trees were clothed with leaves only during the

summer, whereas our family could afford to were green clothes in both summer and

winter But at last a last come the woodcutters: then was the great revolution, and our

family was dispersed. The father trunk abtaimed a situation as main-mast to a

magnificent ship, which could sail round the world if it chose, the bough, were

carried off to a various places, and our work was henceforth to kindle light for low,

common people. Now you will understand how it comes to pass that persons of such

high descent as we should be living in a kitchen.
