Reading Comprehension (Unseen)
3. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:
One morning the Giant was lying awake in bed when he heard some lovely music. It
sounded so sweet to his ears that he thought it must be the king's musicians passing by.
It was really a linnet singing outside his window, but it was so long since he had heard a
bird sing in his garden that it seemed to him to be the most beautiful music in the world
Then the Hail stopped dancing over his head, and the North wind ceased roaring, and a
delicious perfume came to him through the open casement. 'I believe the spring has come
at last, said the Giant, and he jumped out of bed and looked out.
What did he see? He saw the most wonderful sight. Through a little hole in the wall the
children had crept in, and they were sitting in the branches of the trees. In every tree that
he could see there was a little child. And the trees were so glad to have the children back
again that they had covered themselves with blossoms, and were waving their arms gently
above the children's heads. The birds were flying about and twittering with delight, and the
flowers were looking up through the green grass and laughing. It was a lovely scene, only in
one corner it was still winter. It was the farthest corner of the garden, and in it was standing
a little boy. He was so small that he could not reach up to this branches of the tree, and he
was wandering all around it crying bitterly. The poor tree was still covered with frost and
snow, and the North Wind was blowing and roaring about it. “Climb up! little boy", said the
tree, and it bent its branches as low as it could, but the boy was too tiny.
