Question

Sher Singh looked at his little brother lying in the hut with a pain in his
stomach. He was very ill. Their mother said, "Kunwar must be carried to the
hospital at Kalaghat."
Kalaghat was many miles away from Laldwani, the village where they lived.
Sher Singh knew then that his brother was dying, because his people went to
the hospital only when nothing more could be done at home.
" I will take Kunwar," twelve year old Sher Singh told his mother. She made a
sling out of her sari and put Kunwar into it and tied him on Sher Singh's back.
He set off into the jungle as the sun began to go down
Sher Singh hoped that if he crossed the jungle and the two rivers in between,
he might get a lift in a bullock-cart or a truck for the last part of the journey.
Slowly, it began to grow dark. The thick forest was all around him. In the light
of the moon he saw the bear tracks in the dust and walked faster. Soon he came
to a big rock above a river bed. He set Kunwar down gently and lay down
against a tree to rest. Suddenly, he heard the noise of an elephant herd below
him. He grew cold with fright. He could not run or hide with Kunwar on his
back. But the herd did not see the boys and went on its way.
Sher Singh picked up Kunwar again and walked down to the water. It came up
only to his waist but he had to walk very slowly and carefully because the
stones were slippery. When he reached the other side, he saw a set of fresh
foot prints, Sher Singh knew they belonged to a tiger. Terrified he hurried on.
It was nearly midnight when he heard the second river. When he reached the
bank, he saw it was in flood. The wooden bridge had been washed away! He
could see it lying in the water. The boy looked at the mighty river rushing past.
How was he going to get Kunwar to the hospital now?
Suddenly, a tree fell and crashed against the drowned bridge. The bridge broke
and pieces of wood stuck out of the water. Sher Singh set Kunwar down. He
brought him water to drink by making a cup with his hands. Then he gathered
grass and braided it into a rope, He tied it around Kunwar and himself, so that
they would stay together. Then he stepped into the water just above the bridge.the fast flowing water through the boys against a blaze it interesting ideas and feel dizzy and his nose but somewhere he kept convert head above the water very slowly he moved forward feeling for the broken piece of wood and at least they were across the river.
