Read the passage carefully and
answer the questions given below it:
Once upon a time a lion
decided to go to war. He summoned his ministers and commanded all the animals
in the forest to come before him.
The lion’s subjects all
presented themselves and the lion issued the orders: ‘Elephant you are the
largest.’ You will carry the guns and all the supplies. You, fox, are
very sly, so you will help me draw up the plans for the battle. You monkey,
nimble and good at climbing trees, will act as lookout. Bear, you’re strong and
agile, so you’ll climb the fortress walls and scare the enemy.
Amongst those present were
also a rabbit and a donkey. When the king's ministers saw them, they shook
their heads, and then one of them said, “Sir, I don't think that donkey will
make a good soldier. He’s easily frightened.” The lion looked at the donkey and
remarked, “He brays louder than I roar. He’ll be the trumpet that will rally
the troops.”
The ministers then pointed to
the rabbit and said, “He is even more nervous than the donkey.” The lion went
over to the rabbit and said, “You’ve learned to be faster than others to
survive so you’ll act as my messenger.”
Then, turning to the crowd, he
said, “Everyone can help the common cause as best he is able!”
