them into a basket.
One day, the wisest
quail said, “Listen, Brothers, I
have a plan. When the quail-
catcher throws his net over
us, let us put our heads
through the mesh in the net.
Then, let’s lift up the net
together and fly away with it.
When we have flown some
distance away, let’s drop the
net on a thorn bush and
escape from under it.”
All agreed and so
when the quail-catcher came

VIII. Answer Key

Activity 1

Paragraph:
Water shortage is becoming a serious problem in the city because of
the growing population. That is why the city government must take concrete
steps to address it. One solution is to make one water available through
recycling. Another solution that the city officials are doing now is educating
the people, so they do not waste water. There are some more ideas to help
solve the problem, but maybe, the ultimate solution is that everyone must
become actively involved.
