Read the following text to answer questions number 5 – 13

 A long time ago, very few people lived in the New Territories. There were only a few
villages. If the people wanted to go from one village to another, they often had to pass
through wild and unsafe forest.

One day, a farmer’s young wife went to the next village to visit her own mother and
brother. She brought along her baby son. When it was time for her to leave, her brother
said,”it is getting dark. Let my son, Ah Tim go with you through the forest.

So Ah Tim led the way and the young woman followed behind, carrying her baby.
When they were in the forest, suddenly they saw a group of wolves. They began to run to
avoid the danger, but Ah Tim kicked against a stone and fell down. At once the wolves
caught him. The young woman cried to the wolves,”please eat my own son instead.” Then,
she put her baby son on the ground in front of the wolves and took her nephew away.

Everyone understood that this was because the woman was very good and kind. She
had offered her own son’s life to save her nephew.
