Q 17Comprehention Passage (text) [3-M]3 Marks
Next morning, Taro started for work even earlier than the morning before. He carried with him the largest pitcher he owned, for he intended first of all to go to the waterfall. When he reached it, he found to his great surprise all his neighbours there. They were carrying pitchers, jars, buckets - anything they could find to hold the magic saké. Then one villager knelt and held his mouth under the waterfall to drink. He drank again and again and then shouted angrily, "Water ! Nothing but water!" Others also tried, but there was no saké, only cold water.
"We have been tricked !" shouted the villagers. "Where is Taro? Let us drown him in this waterfall." But Taro had been wise enough to slip behind a rock when he saw how things were going. He was nowhere to be found.

$(1)$ What did Taro carry with him to work ?

Q 18Comprehention Passage (text) [3-M]3 Marks
Taro saw a beautiful little waterfall hidden behind a rock. Kneeling at a place where the water flowed quietly, he cupped a little in his hands and put it to his lips. Was it water? Or was it saké? He tasted it again and again and always it was the delicious saké instead of cold water.
