Questions 21 30
Read the following text and answer the questions that follow.

Else was fifteen that day. Fifteen years old. There were fifteen candles upon the cake,
and she hadnt been able to blow them all out at once. It took three puffs, and then there was
one over at the far side that didnt go out, and she had to wet her fingers with her tongue and
pinch the small, yellow-orange flame. Everyone laughed very much. Elses father was there.
He was very fat and was always laughing and slapping people on the back. Jacob was afraid
of him and his jokes. He worked for the Railway Company and was hardly ever home,
because his work happened mostly at nights. He wore a peaked cap with bright metal badge
on it and a long coat, and he was at this party because Else was fifteen that day. After they
had all eaten and were sitting before the fire, Else asked her father to tell them a tale. Jacob
remembered now the exciting story of the beautiful little princess who pricked her finger on
her fifteenth birthday and fell asleep and all the palace with her a hundred years. The King
and Queen, the courtiers and the serving-maids, the horses in the stables and the hounds in
the courtyard all asleep, and surrounded by a thick-set briar hedge, all quietly sleeping in
perpetual sunlit silence, waiting for the Kings son who was to set them free with a kiss on
the soft lips of the beautiful little princess. Jacob longed to be a Prince himself, so that he
could come riding on a fine white horse and free Else by a kiss on the lips, but he didnt tell
anybody. It was just a dream.
