Questions 6 - 10

Read the extract below carefully and answer the questions.

That night the small boy was feverish and often mumbled in his sleep about the pencil. Maybe it

was because of his cuts and bruises. All night long his old grandmother kept watch over him; frequently

tears would flood her eyes.

The fever lasted three days. His short, plumpish body had shrivelled somewhat, causing him to

look even smaller than before.

When he was well, he returned to school, but he was no longer the quiet Zahid he had once been.

A change had come over him. It was as though the fever had created a new Zahid.

Every few minutes, one of Mr Jamals pupils would cry out, in despair, Teacher, Zahid wont

let me do my work, Teacher, Zahid pulled my hair, Teacher, Zahid smeared ink on my nose,Teacher, Zahid hit me, Teacher, Zahid this Zahid that .

Once or twice Mr Jamal warned him, Zahid, stay in your seat, and then tried to ignore him. But

after having his ears pounded by dozens of complaints, Mr Jamal became angry and instructed Zahid to

come up to his desk.

The Pencilby Ali Majod
