I. Read this following story, then answer the comprehension
question followed !
The Owl and the Nightingale
There was once a nightingale in a cage by a window,
that was his habit to sing only at night. An owl was
puzzled by this and went to ask the nightingale what
the reason was. When I was captured, explained
the nightingale, it was day and I was singing. In this
way I learnt to be more carefully and to sing only at
night.
Are you afraid you might be captured a second
time? asked the owl. Oh, it would have been better
if you had been more careful the rst time when your
freedom was at risk. Now it doesnt really matter any
more, right?
