The Apple Tree
Read the passage and answer the questions given
below.
There was once an old apple tree in a farmer's garden. It
could not bear fruit anymore. But a large number of
sparrows, squirrels and other small birds and insects
lived in the tree. One day the farmer decided to cut
down the tree. ``It has become useless," he said to
himself. "But its wood is still strong. I can make some
tables and chairs with the wood." He took a sharp axe
in his hands and stuck at the roots of the tree.
At once, the birds and animals in the tree cried
aloud. The grasshoppers, the sparrows and the squirrels
came out of their holes and nests. ``Please sir," they
begged the farmer. ``Save this tree. It's our only home!"
But the farmer did not listen to them. He went on
striking at the tree harder and harder. As the farmer
raised his axe one more time, he saw something in the
hollow of the tree. It was a beehive. It was full of honey.
He tasted the honey. "Ummmmm! It tastes so sweet,"
he said. ``So," said the farmer, ``the tree is not useless
after all. If I take some honey now, the bees will make
more. They won't go away from their home."
"Listen!" he cried to the birds and the insects, "I
shall not cut down this tree. It's your home. You can live
in peace now." And he threw his axe away. "The farmer
isn't a kind man," said the sparrows, the grasshoppers
and the squirrels,
"He wants the tree because there is honey in the
beehive."
But they cried out of joy. Their homes were safe.

The sky blazed with stars. Presently the moon rose. The
sight of bear tracks in the dust - the square front paw
and long back one with the shaggy claws-made him
glance round uneasily. He had once seen a man who had
been mauled by a bear all his face torn away. He
quickened his steps.
Soon, on a cliff above a river-bed, Sher Singh knew he
could go no further without rest. He set Kunwar down
gently. Suddenly all Sher Singh’s muscles, shrinking
back to their natural position, thrilled with piercing
pain, he lay against a tree with his eyes shut,
recovering.
It was then he heard the jostle and squeal, of
elephants. Below him on each side of the shallow river-
bed, the elephants travelled. He could see the cows and
babies and one great old tusker. He was playing his
trunk to and fro to learn whatever the breeze could tell
him, and suddenly he hesitated. Sher Singh chilled with
fright, with Kunwar to carry, he could neither climb nor
run. Prayer after prayer fled up from his frightened
spirit.
The tusker snorted, trumpeted, shook his head.
Suddenly, he hurried on angrily up the river-bed, and all
the herd with him. They disappeared.
