Answer:
Read the following passage and answer the questions: (8)
Dasu was a tiny, fluffy-haired, black puppy when Hatu Kotu found him. The little creature was lying curled
up against his mother who had died of cold and hunger.
Hatu Kotu loved animals dearly, so he picked up the puppy and put it into the front folds of his long tunic
to keep it warm. In return Dasu feebly tried to lick the boy's hand and Hatu Kotu was his friend from that
moment.
Very carefully the boy carried the puppy home to the camp where his family lived and here he gave it
some warm milk. Soon Dasu was able to stand up on his trembling legs and to wag his curly tail as a sign
of thanks
At first Hatu Kotu hid the puppy, for he was afraid that his parents would not allow him to keep such a
weak and starving animal; but when Dasu became fat and sleek, he showed him to his mother.
'Another dog? 'She said doubtfully. 'Have we not dogs in plenty with the goat and sheep flocks? Why do
you want to bring vet another? It means another mouth to feed and food is already scarce.' However, the
woman spoke to Hatu Kotu's father about it and he, after much grumbling, agreed to let his little son keep
the puppy.
'But he must be trained to the sheep,' declared the man. 'We cannot have any useless animals here.'
Hatu Kotu promised to train Dasu and before long he dog learned to perform his duties very well. Dasu
was quite fearless and would free even Lala, the great ram who led the flocks, though he knew well that
Lala had a huge pair of curving horns and a very nasty temper.
When the cold weather came Hatu Kotu's father gathered his flocks together and loaded them with little
skin bags of borax, which is a kind of salt found in Tibet. They were to carry these bags down to India
where the Tibetans would exchange both the flocks and the borax for food and clothes. C.
