1. Read the following Passage and answer the questions.
But the youngest child, a little boy, did not seem to be
fit for hard work. He was very clever, cleverer than all
his brothers and sisters, but he was quite weak and small,
and people said he could never grow very big. So his par-
ents thought it would be better for him to become a priest
than to become a farmer. They took him with them to the

lived there, if he would have their little boy for his acolyte,
