Directions—(Q. 1–15) Read the following passage carefully and answer the
questions given below it. Certain words/phrases have been printed in bold
to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.
Mihir and Mahadev lived in the same village. While Mahadev owned the
largest shop in the village, Mihir was a poor farmer. Both had large
families, with many sons, daughtersin-law and grandchildren. One day,
Mihir, tired of not being able to make ends meet, decided to leave the
village and move to the city where they were sure to make enough to feed
everyone. They said their goodbyes, packed their few belongings and set
off. When night fell, they stopped under a large tree. There was a stream
running nearby, where they could refresh themselves. Mihir told his sons
to clear the area below the tree. He told his wife to fetch water. He
instructed his daughters-in-law to make up the fire and started cutting
wood from the tree himself. Now, in the branches of that tree sat a
thief. He watched as Mihir’s family worked together. He also noticed they
had nothing to cook. Mihir’s wife too thought the same, for she said to
her husband, “Everything is ready. But what shall we eat ?” Mihir raised
his hands to heaven and said, “Don’t worry. He is watching all this from
above. He will help us.”
The thief was worried. He had seen that the family was large and worked
well together. Surely they did not know he was hiding in the branches ?
He decided to make a quick getaway. He climbed down swiftly when they
were not looking and ran for his life. But, he left behind his bundle of
stolen jewels and money, which dropped down into Mihir’s lap. He opened
it and jumped with joy when he saw the contents. The family promptly
gathered its belongings and returned to the village. There was great
excitement when they told everyone how they got rich.
Mahadev thought this was a nice quick way to earn some money ! He
commanded his family to pack some clothes and they set off as if on a
journey. They stopped under the same tree and Mahadev started commanding
everyone as Mihir had done. But no one in his family was willing to obey
orders. They were used to having servants wait on them – so the one who
went to the river to fetch water had a nice bath. The one who went to
gather wood for the fire went off to sleep beneath the tree. And Mahadev
only ordered everyone about, not bothering to do anything himself.
Meanwhile the thief had returned to the tree. He noticed the family
members were greedy and selfish. They would never be able to put up a
fight together. Then, Mahadev and his wife started the conversation that
they had rehearsed carefully. Mahadev’s wife said, “Everything is ready.
But what shall we eat ?” Mahadev raised his hands upwards and said,
“Don’t worry. He is watching all this from above. He will help us”.
At this, the thief jumped down from the tree, knife in hand. Seeing him,
everyone started running helter skelter to save themselves. The thief
stole everything. Mahadev and his family had to return to the village
empty-handed, having lost all the jewellery and gold they had taken with
them.

In a small hill town there lived a thief. He was very smart and before
breaking into houses for theft he used to enquire about the lifestyles of
the people staying in that house. Then at the dead of night he used to
commit theft.
Dhanpatrai was a moneylender living in the same town. He was thrifty and
never wasted money. He had a daughter named Laxmi. The thief knew that
Dhanpatrai was rich and he had a lot of jewellery with him. Smartly the
thief found out the location of the house and designed the theft. One
night, getting up to the roof of the house he started removing the roofcovering
made of earthen tiles.
The moneylender heard the sound and was sure that a thief was on the roof
of the house. Now he had to create some ploy. He hit upon a plan. “Laxmi,
Laxmi” he called out to his daughter who was sleeping. “Laxmi, I hope our
money-box and jewellery are kept in the ceiling,” he asked cleverly.
Generally, in hill area, to keep house warm in winter, houses have a
thatched roofing and below that, a wooden ceiling. Certain things used to
be kept in the space between the roofing and wooden ceiling. So when the
thief heard the question put by Dhanpatrai, he thought that there was a
ceiling below the thatched roof. So he jumped down.
But actually in the house there was no wooden ceiling. So the thief fell
to the floor of the house which was about fifteen feet below and broke
