Read the following passage and write its summery. Also suggest a suitable title to it. [03]
Once upon a time there lived a great musician in Greece. His name was Orpheus. He could play
beautifully on his lyre. He could produce wonderful tunes. When he played on his lyre, even wild
animals stopped to listen to his music.
Orpheus had a beautiful wife. Her name was Euridice. Orpheus and Euridice loved each other
deeply. They could not live without each other. For hours together Orpheus played on his lyre and
Euridice sat listening. “I can’t live without your music, Orpheus,” she said. “And can I live without
you?” asked Orpheus. One day Orpheus and Euridice went out in the woods. Orpheus was playing
on his lyre. Euridice began to pick some flowers. While she was picking the flowers, by mistake she
stepped on a snake. The snake bit her and she died at once.
When Orpheus saw her dead, he was full of grief. His life changed completely. He could not play
on his lyre. He could not sing. He was very sad. He could not bear to live without Euridice. He said
to his friends, “I can’t live without Euridice. I will go to the land of dead and bring her back.”
