Read the passage
carefully and answer the questions that follow.
Dawn usually wakes up very early in the morning to the chirping of
birds outside her window. One morning, Dawn was so angry to be awakened that
she threw a stone at one of the birds. It hit and killed the bird.
Later that day, Dawn was out searching for firewood when she fell into a
drain. She broke her ankle and could not get up. She was very worried as the
sky was turning dark. Dawn knew nobody would walk past that place at night and
she would have to wait till the next morning before she could be saved.
She saw two birds flying towards her. Dawn recognised the birds as the
friends of the one she had killed. The birds flew away. After a while she heard
footsteps and saw a bright light from afar. Dawn saw that it was her father who
had come to rescue her. The same two birds were with her father. "The
birds led me here. The helped you," her father told her. Dawn felt guilty
for what she had done in the morning and she was never cruel to animals again.
