READING

FOR QUESTIONS 18 TO 21, READ THE PASSAGE AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS THAT FOLLOW.

Cheeku the rabbit and his wife were crossing an apple orchard. On seeing the ripe and juicy apples, his wife wanted to have some. Cheeku had heard stories of such orchards being guarded by wolves. He was not willing to go deep inside the orchard for anything or anyone. He refused, but his wife wanted to have the apples desperately. Therefore, he had to bow to his wife’s wishes. As soon as he entered the orchard, his heart started pounding loudly. He was scared but determined to carry out his wife’s request. He climbed the nearest tree and started plucking apples. Suddenly, he saw an angry wolf run towards the tree. He had big, sharp fangs and scary red eyes. Without the wolf noticing, Cheeku plucked the apples and hid them in a drum lying next to the tree. Unable to find anything with Cheeku, the wolf thought that the rabbit had not caused any harm to the fruits and that there was another animal around. On sniffing around the drum, the wolf could smell the fruits. He asked Cheeku, whether he had seen a monkey hiding with some fruits in the drum. Cheeku nodded silently. Trusting the rabbit, the wolf jumped inside the drum. As soon as the wolf was inside, the clever rabbit put the lid on the drum and locked it with a twig. The wolf could not come out. He suffocated. Thanks to Cheeku’s timely thinking, he and his wife enjoyed apples without fear.
