Comprehension Practice

Q I. Read the passage and answer the questions given below.

THE GIFT

Mulla Nasrudin was on his way to the palace carrying a sack of potatoes. As he was walking, a local man asked him, “Where are you going?” “I’m going to the palace to give this gift of potatoes to the new ruler,” Nasrudin replied. “What?” the man said. “That’s not a suitable gift for a ruler. You should give him something better, like strawberries.” So Nasrudin went home to get strawberries, and took them to the palace instead. The ruler, however, was used to receiving much nicer gifts, and ordered his men to throw the strawberries at Nasrudin as punishment for giving such a meager gift. As the strawberries hit him, Nasrudin began shouting, “Praise be to God!” Hearing Nasrudin make such a comment, the ruler ordered his men to stop, and curiously asked, “We’re hitting you with the gifts you brought, and now you’re praising God? Explain your behaviour, Mulla.” Nasrudin replied, “I’m thanking God that I didn’t bring you potatoes.”
