Read the text and answer the question for number 1-5.
Once upon a time, there lived a young girl named Hanaca. Hanaca was the daughter of a
samurai. Shortly before her father died, she was made to wear a strange, wide brimmed hat which
concealed her entire face. Since then, no one had been able to take her hat off.
Everyone in town laughed at her because of her hat. Eventually, wearied of being ridiculed,
she decided to go away. Not long after, she arrived at another city where she entered into the
service of the king to earn her living. There however, it was the other servants who began to laugh
at her and treated her badly.
One day the king’s son found Hanaca in tears. He listened to her story and was so moved by
it, that he proposed to marry her. To put an end of the affair, the king expelled Hanaca from the
palace.
Tearfully, Hanaca turned towards the palace gates, when there came a great gust of wind
which blew her wide-brimmed hat off her head. Everyone could now see the maiden’s extraordinary
beauty, and they could also see, sparkling in her hair, the many jewels which had been concealed for
so long beneath the hat. One of the royal ministers recognized the girl as the daughter of the
samurai, whereupon the king at once allowed the marriage to take place.
