1. Read the passage and answer the questions given below:
The eel is a very funny fish. It doesn’t look like a fish at all. It is long, thin and looks like a snake. Its long and thin body helps it to travel very fast in water. They are seen mostly in ponds of Amazon and basins of South America. Eels never seem to get tired. They can swim as much as ten miles a day. Eels can generate electricity. The smooth and slippery skin of the fish also helps it to escape from its enemies.

2. Do you remember the story ‘The Grain as Big as a Hen’s Egg?’. In this story the king showed the grandfather the grain, and the grandfather looked at it, and turned it around in his hand. What will be the possible conversation between the King and the grandfather. Complete the conversation.
Answer:
The King : When and where was such corn grown?
The grandfather : This kind of corn was grown everywhere in my time. It was such a grain that we used to sow, reap and thresh.
The King : Where was your field? Where did you grow corn like this?
The grandfather : I didn’t have a particular field of my own. Land was free. Wherever I ploughed it was mine. Labour was the only thing we called our own.
The King : Grandfather, did you buy it from somewhere, or did you grow it all by yourself?
The grandfather : In our time, we did not buy or sell anything. Each man had enough corn of his own.
