SECTION-A

A.I Read the following comprehension and then answer the questions (8M)

Once we had a huge guest at home. It was Lakshmi, a young elephant. It belonged to one of our rich relatives. He wanted us to keep her at our place for a few days. Lakshmi was fond of ripe bananas more than sugar cane. We had plenty of bananas as we had three banana trees in our house, but the ripe bananas were kept in the cellar. Only grandfather could take them out and distribute. I wanted to be friendly with Lakshmi by feeding her with ripe bananas. So I waited for an opportunity and, as soon as grandfather was out, I quietly went to the cellar and took bananas for Lakshmi. She ate them with great relish. Later, grandfather found out that I had taken the bananas. I apologized to him for taking the bananas without his permission.

I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me,

He is very, very like me from the heels up to the head;

And I can see him jump before me, when I jump into my bed.

 I rose and found my lazy little shadow, asleep in my bed.
