that Dr Goh was the only person who could help him. He made his way
to the dental dinic which was quite far away.

'When Joe reached the derital clinic, he saw many patients waiting

patiently for their turn. He waited anxiously after getting a queue

number. Time seemed to pass slowly and his fear began to grow. He

was ashamed of himself for eating too many sweets which had caused

the toothache.

When it was Joe's turn, he took a deep breath before going into

the dentist's room. He was greeted by a friendly Dr Goh who put him at

ease in no time. He examined his teeth and said that one tooth needed

to be extracted. It was the one which was causing Joe much pain. Dr

Goh applied some medication on the gum. Joe closed his eyes tightly as

Dr Goh extracted the tooth. To his surprise, there was no pain.

Dr Goh praised Joe for being brave·and reminded him to brush his

teeth after every meal. When Joe walked out of the clinic, he had one

tooth less but he was a happier person.

hawker.

Section 6 .. Comprehension (10 mClr'ks}
Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.

A baker was on his way to the market to buy some flour when he found a

package on the ground. To his surprise, it contained a stack of money. He went

home quickly and showed his mother the money. She told him, "You should return

it."

"But we can buy many things with this!" the son said. ·Anyway, I don't know

who to·return the money to. I found it on the road."

"Return itl" his mother said fiercely. "Go back to where you found it. The

_ owner will turn up."

His mother was right. A money changer was looking for his money. The baker

returned the package with all the money to him. A passer-by asked the money

changer to reward the baker. However, the money changer refused and said, "I

lost $300. There is only $100 here!"

_ The men started fighting. A policeman saw them and took them to a judge.

The judge said to the money changer. "You insist that you have lost $300. Then it

is clear that this money found is not yours. You have lost your money somewhere

else." The judge passed the money to the policeman and thanked the baker for his

honest act.

seeds grew in-to heal-thy crops. The four brothers sold the crops in

SECTION G: COMPREHENSION (10ml
Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.

Adam tossed and turned in his bed. No matter how hard

he tried, he still could not solve the riddle David had told him

after dinner. "Why can't David just tell me the answer?" Adam

wondered as he stared at the big, bright moon outside his

window.

Adam was about to fall asleep when he heard loud banging

sounds. He looked around his room to find out where the sounds

were coming from. The toilet door moved as something banged

on it from the inside. "Who's there?" Adam asked nervously.

The toilet door continued to shake. Adam jumped out of

bed. He ran into David's room and shook David awake.

"Th re_'s something in my toilet!" Adam shouted.

Unwillingly, David followed his younger brother into his

bedroom. David switched on the light and walked towards the

toilet. He opened the toilet door and Apple, their cat, scurried

out.
"Apple has been trapped in the toilet the whole evening! It

must have hidden itself under the sink when I was having my

shower before dinner!" Adam laughed.

A biack crow lived in the ·forest and he was a happ{bird. However, he


. -

became sad after he saw a swan singing sweetly by a pond.

UYou are so b autiful and whfte. I have only black feathers. You must be
the happiest bird in the world. I wish to be you," he told the swan.

"Actually," the swan replied,. "I felt that I was the happiest bird around 5

until I saw a parrot. The parrot has red and green feathers! So now I think the
parrot is the happiest bird in the world." The crow went to look for the parrot.

The parrot explained, "I lived a very happy life until I saw a peacock.
only have red and green feathers but the peacock has feathers of many
10
colours."

. · The crow then visited a peacock in the zoo and saw people admiring the
peacock in its enclosure. After the people had left, the crow approached the
peacock.

"Dear Peaeock," the crow said, "you are so beautiful. Thousands of


people_ come to see you daily. When people see me, they will try to chase me 15
. away immediately". 1 thinl<·you-must be the-happiest bird oh ttie planet." - ..- .

The peacock sighed deeply and replied, "Because of my beauty, I am _


trapped in this zoo. I wish to be a crow instead because that is the only bird
which is not kept in a cage. I want to be free and roam everywhere."

The crow realised his foolishness. He realised that he will only be truly 20
happy when he is contented with what he has.

An unkind potter wanted to get his neighbour, the washerwoman,

into trouble.

One day, the potter went to tell the king that the washerwoman coulcl
-.

wash his grey elephants as white as snow. That - afternoon, the--

washerwoman was called to the palace by the king. Surprisingly, she 5

accepted the job. The next day, she took a long piece of string to find out

how long the elephant was. With the help of the soldiers, she went to the

first elephant and placed the string from its trunk to its back. She repeated

the steps with the second elephant.

1 need two things before I can get to work," the washerwoman said. 10

"What do you need?" the king asked.

"I must have two, pots to soak each of your elephants. I do not have

pots that are gigantic and strong enough to hold the elephants overnight,"

the washerwoman answered. ·

The king ordered the potter to make two pots that were the largest 15

and strongest. The potter gasped and his mouth fell open in shock.

Quickly, the potter hurried home. Then he packed his bags and left the

village before the king could send soldiers asking for the pots.
