Question

Read the following passage and select the most appropriate answers for it.


He came and sat down on things, just when they were wanted to be packed; and

he laboured under the fixed belief that whenever Harris hi or George reached out their hand for anything,

it was his cold damp, nose that they wanted. He put his leg into the jam , and he worried the teaspoons,

and he pretended that the lemons were rats, and got into the hamper and killed 3 of them before Harris

could land him with the frying-pan.

want any encouragement. It’s natural, original sin that is born in him that makes him do things like that.
