Read the passage carefully and answer
Once upon a time four bulls lived in a field. The other animals did not fight with them. Even the
lion dared not fight them. If he fought with one bull, the other three would also join in. They were
very united. Then lion made a plan. He went to each one separately and told them that the other
three bulls ate more grass than he. He said, ‘You hardly eat your share. They gobble up so much of
grass.’ The bulls began suspecting each other. They were no longer friends.
This was what the lion wanted. One day he sprang upon one of the bulls and ate him up. The other
bulls did not help him. Next week he sprang upon other and thus slowly, every week he killed one
bull because the bulls did not help each other. Finally the lion had killed and eaten all of them.

 HANDWRITING (5)
It was a rainy day and David had nothing much to do. He had already finished his homework and
chores around the house. His best friend, Ravi, was in bed with a cold, so there was no one to play
with. It was still raining heavily and he could not ride his bicycle or go to park. “I am bored.” David
complained. ‘There’s nothing for me to do today.’ David was doubtful. “How can I have fun?”
