questions 1and 2.
Once upon a time, a dove and a bat
were very good friends. One day the two friends decided to set out on a
journey. They flwe over the rivers and hills and came to a big jungle. Both the
friends were very tired, they needed to sit down and take a rest. Soon night
fell and it was dark all around. A storm rose. It started to rain heavily. The
dove and the bat started to look for a shelter. They came upon a century-old
rain tree. An owl had his nest in that tree. The dove and the bat knocked at
the owl's door. The old grumpy owl opened the door. The dove and the bat
requested him to give them shelter. The owl unwillingly let them in. The two
birds were hungry too. They begged for some food. The selfish owl was not happy.
However, he shared his dinner with them. The dove was so tired that she could
hardly eat. But the bat was sly. He ate greedily. He began to praise the owl
with the thought of getting more food. The bat said, 'O wise and brave owl, you
are the most generous person I have ever seen. You are powerful and mighty'.
The owl was very pleased at the bat's flattery. He puffed and ruffled himself,
trying to look as wise and brave as possible. Then he turned to the dove and
asked, 'Nwo little dove, what do you think about me?'
