Read the passage and answer the questions.

Habil had a lovely horse whose

fame [kemasyhuran] spread far and
wide. Everyone who saw the
horse wanted to buy it. Salam
refused to sell it.
One day, a man decided to steal Habil’s horse. The
man disguised
himself as a beggar. Then, he waited by the road where
Habil usually
passed by. When he saw Habil, he pretended to be sick.
Upon seeing
the beggar, Habil felt pity for him. He quickly dismounted
and offered
to help the sick man onto the horse. Habil asked the
beggar to sit on
the horse so that he could take him to the hospital.
However, the beggar did not move. He said faintly, “I
have gone without food for days. I have no
strength left.”
So Habil lifted the man up and placed him on the saddle.
Then the
man galloped away leaving Habil surprised. Habil realized
that he
had been tricked. He called out to the thief to stop. When
he was at a
safe distance, the thief stopped.
“You have stolen my horse but you must not tell
anyone how you did it,” said Habil.
“Why not?” asked the thief.
“Because one day, another man may lie by the
road. He may really ill. If your mischief is known, no
one will stop to assist him.”
The thief was filled with such shame that he rode back
and returned the horse to Habil.
