Q.1 Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions -
• A few steps away, stood an ash tree. "I hope this one doesn't talk," said the woodcutter. He
got ready to chop when suddenly the ash tree spoke, "Are you going to kill me?" If yes, then
do me a favour. Please go and axe my newly wed bride too. We were wed yesterday. She has
no one in the world but me. Her life shall be doomed in my absence.
The woodcutter replied sympathetically, "No, don't worry. I won't chop you. I too have a
wife and love her dearly. She too has no one but me in the world."
Saying this, the woodcutter walked further to continue his search. He then reached a maple
tree. The tree on seeing the woodcutter said enthusiatically. "Good morning, stranger! What
brings you to this forest this fine morning?" The woodcutter didn't have the heart to tell the
tree that he had come to end it's life and said, "Oh, nothing really. I'm here to collect a few
berries."
• "Oh! that's nice. You'll find them at a distance of 500 yards, near the pond," informed the
innocent maple tree. The woodcutter thanked the maple tree and departed," Oh, what will I
do? This way I'll never get any wood," thought the woodcutter. Just then, he stumbled over a
stone and fell at the foot of an alder tree.
"Ah, I will chop this one quickly before it speaks, said the cutter, raising his axe.
"Do not kill me, please! This is the time of the year when
the wood bugs come to me to be fed with my milk. Just think as to what will became of them
if I am gone," implored the alder tree.
