Answer 1

Answer:

One morning the old Water-rat put his head out of his hole. He had bright beady eyes and stiff grey whiskers, and his tail was like a long bit of black india-rubber. The little ducks were swimming about in the pond, looking just like a lot of yellow canaries, and their mother, who was pure white with real red legs, was trying to teach them how to stand on their heads in the water.

'You will never be in the best society unless you can stand on your heads,' she kept saying to them; and every now and then she showed them how it was done. But the little ducks paid no attention to her. They were so young that they did not know what an advantage it is to be in society at all.

'What disobedient children!' cried the old Water-rat; 'they really deserve to be drowned.'

'Nothing of the kind,' answered the Duck, 'every one must make a beginning, and parents cannot be too patient.'

'Ah! I know nothing about the feelings of parents,' said the Water-rat; 'I am not a family man. In fact, I have never been married, and I never intend to be. Love is all very well in its way, but friendship is much higher. Indeed, I know of nothing in the world that is either nobler or rarer than a devoted friendship.'

'And what, pray, is your idea of the duties of a devoted friend?' asked a Green Linnet, who was sitting in a willow-tree hard by, and had overheard the conversation.

'Yes, that is just what I want to know,' said the Duck, and she swam away to the end of the pond, and stood upon her head, in order to give her children a good example.

'What a silly question!' cried the Water-rat. 'I should expect my devoted friend to be devoted to me, of course.'

'And what would you do in return?' said the little bird, swinging upon a silver spray, and flapping his tiny wings.

Answer 2

Answer:

The goods the Miller demanded in exchange for the wheelbarrow he promised to give Hans are a wooden plank, a basket full of flowers, a sack of flour for the market, fixing his barn roof, and taking his sheep to the mountain.

Explanation:

• The Miller pays a visit to tiny Hans at the start of spring.
• He learns that young Hans had to sell a number of his items, including his wheelbarrow, to have any money for food over the winter.
• The Miller offers Hans his old wheelbarrow, which is in terrible shape and has one side completely missing, saying that he will give it to him.
• Hans responds that he has a plank of wood in his home and can fix the wheelbarrow.
• The plank, according to Miller, is exactly what he needs to patch the barn's roof hole.
• Miller then instructs Hans to arrange flowers in a big basket.
• The Miller informs Hans that since he has promised him his wheelbarrow, it would be rude to decline him the flowers or the plank.
• The Miller instructs young Hans to deliver a sack of flour to the market for him the following day.
• He instructs Hans to repair his barn roof the next day.
• He instructs Hans to drive his sheep to the mountain the following day.
• The Miller gives little Hans a new task to complete every day, which takes Hans the entire day.
• The Miller consistently reminds Hans that it would be rude of him to decline and that he has already committed to giving him his wheelbarrow.

Hence, the series of things Miller asked for is a wooden plank, a basket filled with flowers, repair the plank, and take the sheep to the mountain.
