DIRECTIONS (Qs. 71-80): Read the following passage carefullyand answer the questions given below it.Long ago there was a poor Brahmin named Krishnan. He couldnot find enough work to do. Sometimes, he and his family had togo without food. At last Krishnan decided to leave his village insearch of work. Early next morning, he left the house. He walkedthe whole day until he came to a thick jungle. He was tired, thirstyand hungry. While looking around for water to drink, he found awell. He went to the well and looked in. There he saw a jaguar, amonkey, a snake and a man. They had all fallen into the well. “O,noble Brahmin”, the jaguar called out to him, “Please help me out,so that I can go back to my family.”

“But you are a jaguar”, said Krishnan. “How do I know youwill not kill me?” “Don’t be afraid of me, I promise I will not doyou any harm”, replied the jaguar. Krishnan reached into the welland pulled out the jaguar. The jaguar thanked him and said, “I’mShersingh. I live in a cave in the mountains. I shall be mostdelighted if I can repay my debt to you someday.” Krishnan thenheard the monkey calling out to him from the well. The Brahmin atonce pulled the monkey out. The monkey thanked the Brahmin.“If you are ever in need of food, just drop in at my place belowthat big mountain. Bali is my name.” Now the snake called out tohim for help. “Help you!” exclaimed Krishnan. “You are a snake.What if you bite me?” “I shall never bite you”, said the snake. SoKrishnan pulled the snake out of the well. The snake said,“Remember, if you are ever in any difficulty, just call out myname-Naagesh, and wherever you are, I shall find you.” The jaguar,the monkey and the snake took leave of the Brahmin. But beforethey left, they spoke to him about the man in the well. “Please donot help him,” said Shersingh. “If you do”, said Naagesh, “youwill be in trouble yourself.” As soon as they left, the man in thewell began to call out for help. Krishnan felt sorry for the man andpulled him out of the well. “Thank you for your kindness”, saidthe man. “I am Seth Ghanshyamdas. I am a goldsmith. If you everneed my help, don’t hesitate to visit my humble house near thecity.” The goldsmith then left for home.

After some time, the Brahmin continued his journey. But hecould not find any work. He then remembered Shersingh, Bali,Naagesh and Seth Ghanshyamdas. He thought it was time toseek their help. He first went to Bali. The monkey was overjoyedto see him. He gave him a warm welcome and offered him somereally delicious fruits. The Brahmin told him how grateful he was.Now Krishnan went to see Shersingh, the jaguar. As soon asShersingh saw Krishnan coming, he ran out to welcome him. Hegave Krishnan a beautiful gold necklace and other preciousjewellery. Krishnan thanked Shersingh for the jewellery anddeparted. His journey had at last brought him luck, he thought. Hewould be able to sell the ornaments for a good price. But who couldhelp him to sell the ornaments? He then remembered SethGhanshyamdas. He went to him. The goldsmith was glad to seeKrishnan. “I have come to ask for your help”, said Krishnan. “Hereare some ornaments. Please give me a good price for them.” SethGhanshyamdas took the jewellery and examined it carefully. “I shallcertainly help you”, he said. “But let me show them to anothergoldsmith. Please wait here, I will be right back.” He then went outwith the ornaments. Seth at once rushed to the Palace of the King.He said, “A man brought these ornaments to me and asked me tosell them. But they are the ornaments I made for the Prince who ismissing.” “Who is this man? Where is he?”, thundered the King.This rogue must have murdered my little Prince and robbed hisjewels!” “He is a Brahmin named Krishnan, your Majesty”, repliedthe goldsmith, and he is there, in my house. The king called for hismost dreaded soldiers. “Arrest the Brahmin who is in thegoldsmith’s house and throw him into the darkest dungeons of thekingdom”, roared the King. The King’s guard stormed into thegoldsmith’s house and seized Krishnan. Krishnan was thrown intoa dark dungeon to await his execution. He then remembered thewords of Naagesh, the snake. So he called out to him.

Suddenly, almost like magic, Naagesh slithered his waydown a narrow window into the dingy cell. “O, Lord!” hissedNaagesh, “how did you manage to get yourself arrested?”Krishnan cried and then told the snake what had happened. “Ihave a plan”, hissed Naagesh. “I shall creep into the Queen’sroom and bite her”, said Naagesh. “She will faint. No matter whatthey do, she will remain asleep. The poison will remain in herbody until you place your hand on her forehead”, explainedNaagesh. He then left Krishnan and went to the palace. He creptinto the Queen’s room and bit her. The Queen fainted. The sadnews that the Queen had been bitten by a snake spread all overthe Kingdom. Vaidyas came from far and near, but their medicineshad no effect. No one could revive the Queen. Finally, the Kingdeclared that anyone who could cure the Queen would behandsomely rewarded. Many people went to the palace but all ofthem failed. “I can cure the Queen”, Krishnan told the guards. Atonce they took him to the Queen. Krishnan sat beside the Queenand placed his hand on her forehead. Soon, she opened her eyesand sat up. The King was overjoyed and shed tears of happiness.He embraced Krishnan and thanked him. “Your Majesty”, saidKrishnan. “I was sent to prison for a crime I did not commit.”Krishnan told the King the whole story. The King was fumingwith rage when he heard what the goldsmith had done. He atonce had the goldsmith arrested. The King then presentedKrishnan with a large house and a thousand pieces of gold.Krishnan sent for his family and they all lived happily ever after.
