A. Task 2 Fill in the missing words with the suitable words in the box!
Long time ago, there were the camel and the mouse deer. The camel said, “Nothing like
being tall! Look how tall I am!” The mouse deer who (1) heard these word, said, “Nothing like being
short! Look how short I am!”.
The camel said, “ Well if i fail to prove (2) the truth of what i said. I shall (3)give up my
hump.” The mouse deer said, “If i fail to prove the truth of what i have said, i shall give up my
(4)snout.” “Agreed!” said the camel. “Just so!” said the mouse deer.
They came to a garden, (5) enclosed by a low wall without any opening. The camel stood on
this side of the wall, and (6) reaching the plants within by means of his long neck, made a breakfast
on them. Then, he turned jeeringly to the mouse deer, who had been standing at the (7) bottom of
the wall, without even having a look at the good things in the garden, and said,” Now, would you be
tall or short?”
Next they came to a garden, enclosed by a high wall, with a wicket gate at one end. The
mouse deer entered by the gate, and, after having eaten his fill of the vegetables within, came out,
(8) laughing at the poor camel who had to stay outside because he was too tall to enter the garden
by the gate, and (9) said,” Now, would you be tall or short?”
Then, they thought the matter over and came to the conclusion that the camel should
(10)keep his hump and the mouse deer used his snout, observing,” Tall is good, where tall would do
of short, again, this is also true!”
