IV. Evaluate

Read the passage and answer the given questions.

The first time I saw a train, I was standing on a wooded slope outside a tunnel,
not far from Kalka. Suddenly with a shrill whistle and great burst of steam, a
green and black engine came out snorting out of the blackness.

I turned and ran to my father, “A dragon!” I shouted.

“There’s a dragon coming out of its cave!”

Since then, steam engines and dragons have always inspired the same sort of
feelings in me – wonder, awe and delight.

I would like to see a real dragon one day, green and golden - because I have
always preferred the reluctant sort – rather shy and gentle; but until that
day comes, I shall be content with steam engines.
