Q.1 Read the given passage carefully: (5 marks)

My next pet was a pigeon, the most revolting bird to look at, with his feathers pushing through the wrinkled scarlet skin, mixed with the horrible yellow down that covers baby pigeons and makes them look as though they have been peroxiding their hair. Because of his repulsive and obese appearance, we called him Quasimodo.
Since he had an unorthodox upbringing, without parents to teach him, Quasimodo became convinced that he was not a bird at all, and refused to fly. He walked everywhere. He was always eager to join us in anything we did. He would even try to come for walks with us. So you had to either carry him on your shoulder, which was risking an accident to your clothes, or else you let him walk behind. If you let him walk, then you had to slow down your own pace to suit his, for should you get too far ahead you would hear the most frantic and imploring coos and turn around to find Quasimodo running desperately after you.

Q.2 Read the poem given below carefully (5 marks)

LAW OF THE JUNGLE
I have heard
There is a law of the jungle
I have heard when the lion has eaten his fill
He never attacks
He goes to lie under dense shady trees
And when the rough gusts
Shake branches of trees
The mynah leaving her own young
Covers the frail crow’s eggs
With her protective wings.
 
I have heard
When any bird-young falls out of the nest
The entire jungle wakes to rescue.
 
I have heard
When the weaver bird’s nest
Reflects on the lake
The silvery fishes adopt it as neighbour.
And if a rough storm breaks the foot-bridge.
Then on a wooden plank
Squirrel, snake, goat and cheetah walk in a file.
 
I have heard
There is a law of the jungle
O God. All Powerful. All Seeing. All Wise.
In this my city
Proclaim a law,
Even the law of the jungle
 
Translated from the Urdu by Syeda Hameed
