l. r\nswcr thc qucstions following the passage

My next pct wus a pigeon. the most revolting bird to look at. with his feathers
pushing through thc wdnkled scarlet skin, mixed with thc hortible yellow rlown
that coveN baby pigons and makes thcrn look as ttuough they havc been providing
thcir hat Bccause of his rcpulsive and obese apparance, thcy called him Quasimode.

Since hc had an unorlhodox upbringing without parents to teach him. Quasimode

berame convinced that he was not a trird at all. and refuscd to fly. He walked
cveiJwhorc. He was always eager to join us in everything we did. He would even
try to comc for walks with us so you had to either carry him on your shoulder.
which was risking an accident on your clothcs, or else you let him walk behind.
lf you let him walk, then you have to slow down your own pace to suit his, for
should you gct too far ahead you would hear the most fiantic and imploring coos
and tum arouhd to find Quasimode ruming desperately after you.
