choose ONE SET and answer it.
QUESTION Ia. (10 marks)
Once upon
a time there lived a couple who had no children. They wished every day for a
child, even if he were no bigger than a hazelnut. At last, their wish was
granted, and they had a child who was the size of a hazelnut, just as they had
said. They loved the child very much and they took excellent care of him.
When the
hazelnut child turned fifteen, his parents asked what he would become, now that
he was of an age to work. “I would like to be a messenger,” said the child. His
mother laughed and asked, “How can you possibly be a messenger? Your tiny feet
would take an hour to carry you the distance anyone else could cover in a
minute.”
“Give me a
message to carry,” said the boy, “and see how quickly I return.” So his mother
told him to go to the house of his aunt in the neighboring village and bring
back a comb. “I’ll be back before you know,” said the boy. His mother held the
front door open for her son, and off he went on his journey. He found a man on
horseback who was headed for the next town. The boy crept up the horse’s leg,
crawled under the saddle, and began to pinch the horse’s back. Rearing up, the
horse took of at breakneck speed and wouldn’t slow down, no matter how hard the
rider pulled at its reins. When they reached the neighboring village, the
hazelnut child quit pinching the horse, and it slowed enough that the boy was
able to climb back down its leg. His aunt was delighted to see him and gave him
the comb he asked for. The hazelnut child returned home on the back of another
horse and presented his mother with the comb. “But how did you get home so
quickly?” she asked. He did not answer her question, but only said, “You see, I
told you messenger was the profession for me.”
Using his
newfound skill, the hazelnut child hitched a ride on a stork that was flying
south for the winter and landed in a faraway country. There, he met the king,
who was astonished this tiny creature who rode storks as if they were horses.
The king was so surprised with the hazelnut child that he gave the boy a
diamond bigger than himself. The boy hitched the diamond to his stork and flew
home, and he and his parents lived in peace and prosperity for the rest of
their lives.
