Read the story below and answer the questions that follow.
Long ago, there were two friends who were farmers. Their names were Ujang and Ramli. They
were best of friends and neighbours too.
One day, when Ujang was digging a well, he found a wooden box buried deep in the ground. He
opened and found gold coins in it. Ujang told Ramli what he had found. He said, You are my best friend.
I plan to share half the gold with you. Ramli replied, Ill take the box home and take out my share. Then
you can have the rest.
Back home, when Ramli and his wife saw the gold coins, they became greedy. They wanted all
the gold for themselves. Ramli and his wife imagined what they could do with the gold. After dinner, they
opened the box once more to see the gold coins. To their surprise, the gold coins suddenly changed into
worms. Ramli thought Ujang played a trick on him.
Feeling angry and disappointed, Ramli and his wife took the box to Ujangs house. As they came
nearer, they could hear Ujang and his wife talking about their good fortune. Ramli and his wife became
angrier. They wanted to teach Ujang and his wife a lesson. They decided to climb up the roof. Through a
hole on the roof, they emptied the box of worms onto the couples heads. As the worms came down, they
changed into gold coins once more.
