SECTION A READING

I. Read the passage and answer the following questions.

I walked to my parents bedroom and saw my mother lying there., curled up under a blanket. A blanket ! A blanket in the month of July ! Something must be wrong. I tiptoed upto her --- her skin was burning ! I woke my father up and told him mother had a high fever. Mother awoke with a groan and seeing the look on our faces, smiled and told us not to worry. She wanted to get up and cook for us, but we told her that we would take care of her.

Father and I went to the kitchen to make some tea and toast. We put the water and milk to boil in a pan and looked around for the tea leaves. We opened atleast 15 jars before we found them ! Father yelled in pain as he picked up the pan with his hand---he hadn’t realized it would be so hot !

Things are different on Sundays

Which we called the picnic days

We gather berries

We pluck cherries

We listen to the bees

Buzzing around the trees

There’s colourful butterflies

In the clear blue skies;

We begin the matches

On the grassy patches

Towards the end , Mom scores zeroes

While dads emerge as the heroes

Next Sunday you must come with me

Our picnic are fun, you will see
