. Read the passage and Answer the following questions. 08
There was a sculptor who had to deliver an idol to a temple in a nearby village. He mounted his
new idol on his donkey and marched on towards the village. This sculptor was excellent at his work
and this particular idol that he was carrying was perhaps his best piece of work.
When the idol was brought out in public, people could not help but stop and admire its lifelike
beauty. Some people even prayed and bowed their heads in reverence. The donkey carrying the idol
saw these awestruck people around it and fancied itself as the object of their admiration .This made
the donkey stop and flourish its tail with pride. It even started braying as if singing for his admirers.
The sculptor was bewildered by this sudden change in his donkey’s behaviour. He tried to move
his donkey with gentle words and a strong shove, but the donkey would not budge. Finally, the
sculptor took his idol and resumed his journey alone.
The donkey still stood proudly, puffed up with pride, until it noticed that people were now
following its master. It understood that the people were actually in awe of the idol. It realized that it
had been foolish with pride and humbly joined its master in their journey.
