REVISION WORSKEET UNIT TEST 3

Class : IV
Subject: ENGLISH

Q1. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:

(Para 1) Grandfather finds a tiny tiger-cub in the forest and brings him home.
Grandmother calls him Timothy and brings him up like a human child. Timothy is playful
and naughty. Timothy was provided with two companions—Toto, the monkey, who was
bold enough to pull the young tiger by the tail and then climb up the curtains if Timothy
lost his temper and a small mongrel puppy, found on the road by Grandfather. At first
Timothy appeared to be quite afraid of the puppy and darted back with a spring if it
came too near. He would make absurd dashes at it with his large forepaws and then
retreat to a ridiculously safe distance. Finally, he allowed the puppy to crawl on his back
and rest there! One of Timothy’s favourite amusements was to stalk anyone who would
play with him and so, when I came to live with Grandfather, I became one of the tiger’s
favourites. With a crafty look in his glittering eyes and his body crouching, he would
creep closer and closer to me, suddenly making a dash for my feet, rolling over on his
back and kicking with delight and pretending to bite my ankles.

(Para 2) He was by this time the size of a full-grown retriever and when I took him out
for walks, people on the road would give us a wide berth. When he pulled hard on his
chain, I had difficulty in keeping up with him. His favourite place in the house was the
drawing-room and he would make himself comfortable on the long sofa, reclining there
with great dignity and snarling at anybody who tried to get him off. Timothy had clean
habits and would scrub his face with his paws exactly like a cat. He slept at night in the
cook’s quarters and was always delighted at being let out by him in the morning.

a) Who were the two new companions of Timothy?

b) How did Timothy show fear of the puppy ?
