Why the Sky High

A long time ago, the sky was close to the earth. When you stood up and stretched your arms, you
could touch it.

One day, a farmer brought some coconuts for his wife. His wife wanted to drink the juice inside. She
knocked on one of the coconuts against a rock to break open the shell.

“That’s not the way to do it, “her husband said. “You should cut it open with a knife.”

He gave her his bolo or jungle-knife.

His wife raised the knife to cut the coconut shell. “Crack!” As she lifted the knife about her head it
split open the sky and there was heavy rain.

The woman told the sky, “will you please go a little higher? I can’t raise my knife high enough to cut
this coconut shell”

She raised the knife over her shoulder the second time. Once again, it hit the sky and there was
thunder and lightning.

“You are still too low,” the woman said to the sky. “Please go higher.”

She raised the bolo a third time. It still cracked the sky. There was a typhoon, and the woman’s
house was almost blown away by the fierce wind.

“What are you doing?” cried her husband, “can’t you even try to open a coconut shell without
causing a typhoon?”

“It’s not me,” his wife answered. “It’s the sky which is too low.” I need more room to use the knife.”

Finally, the woman became very angry. She looked up and shouted at sky. “You’d better do as I told.
Otherwise, I shall cut you to pieces.”

The clouds rose and rose and the sky went up higher and higher. That’s why it is now so high.

11. Read the following text.

Della and Jim Young, newly married, were poor. Jim’s wage was enough to rent only a very small
apartment. But there were two things of which each was extremely proud. Della had the longest and
most beautiful hair in all New York, thought Jim, as he watched her combing it; and Jim possessed a
magnificent gold pocket watch, given by his father.

Christmas was drawing near, and Jim and Della began to think what present they could afford to give
each other. Della always noticed sadly, when Jim looked at his watch (which he did whenever he had
an excuse to), that it was fixed to the button-hole of his coat by common old leather strap. He really
needed a gold chain. And Jim often thought, as he looked at Della doing her long hair, how well it
would look if only he could buy her jeweled comb to hold it in place. But a gold watch-chain or
jeweled hair-comb would have cost far more money than either of them possessed.

Now it was Christmas Eve. With tearful eyes Della had counted the money she had saved for Jim’s
Christmas present for the tenth time 87 cents. “If only I knew ...” she thought. Then suddenly she
had a wonderful idea. She hurriedly putting on her old hat and coat, she ran down the street to the
shop with the notice “Hair bought”. She entered and an hour later walked out of the shop richer by
15 dollars, but without her chair! On the way home she stopped at every watchmaker’s shop until at
last she found exactly the right chain to suit Jim’s watch.

Returning home, with one dollar and 87 cents left in her pocket, she had just enough time before Jim
arrived home from work to wrap the precious gift. She also curled her remaining hair. When Jim saw
it, he was speechless. “Oh Jim, don’t look at me like that. It will grow again”, Della cried. “And I had
to do it. Here, she gave the parcel to Jim,” you see, “I had to sell my hair to get money for your
present! Merry Christmas, dear”.

When Jim opened it, he collapsed on a chair. “I think we’d better put our presents away for a while,”
he said gently at last, “You see, I’ve sold my watch to but this comb for your hair”. He gave the
package to Della.

Nodding while tears rose in her eyes too, Della gave Jim a brave smile and said, “Our gifts are the
best presents in the world, you know?”

What did Della do to get the money to buy her husband a Christmas present after she counted
that her saved money wasn’t enough?

A. She didn’t want to spend the money she had saved.

B. She couldn’t think what to buy for 87 cents money.

C. She did not understand why she had such little money.

D. She thought Jim hadn’t saved any money.

E. She sold his long and beautiful hair.
