 Reading Q.1. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow. 

 Once upon a time a group of small fish lived together in a small pond. They were very happy because the pond had nice, fresh water and plenty of food. Only one fish was unhappy- and he was bigger and stronger than others. He didn’t really mix with the other fish, because he thought he was much better than them. In fact, he complained a lot. ‘Get out of my way!’ he would say, if any small fish came too close to him. He always tried to let them know that he was much bigger and better fish than them. One day, one little fish asked him why he didn’t go to a much bigger pond and mix with big fish, like himself. Eventually, the big fish decided to give it a try. He swam into the river. There, he met many big fish and most of them were even bigger than him! But they weren’t friendly! They flapped him with their tails. One fish bit him! It was going to eat him, but fortunately he got out of its way by hiding between two rocks. He didn’t like his new life at all. After a few weeks of this misery, he swam back to the pond and this time he was much nicer to the little fish!
