GENERAL ENGLISH
Directions (41-55): Read the following
passage carefully and answer
the questions given below it. Certain
words/phrases have been printed in
bold to help you locate them while answering
some of the questions.
King Hutamasan felt he had everything
in the world not only due to
his riches and his noble knights, but
because of his beautiful queen, Rani
Matsya. The rays of the sun were put
to shame with the iridescent light that
Matsya iEuminated, with her beauty and
brains. At the right hand of the king
she was known to sit and aid him in all
his judicial probes. You could not escape
her deep — set eyes when you
committed a crime as she always knew
the victim and the culprit. Her generosity
preceded her reputation in the
kingdom and her hands were always
full to give. People in the kingdom revered
her because if she passed by,
she always gave to the compassionate
and poor.
Far away from the kingly palace
lived a man named Raman with only
ends to his poverty and no means to
rectify it. Raman was wrecked with
poverty as he had lost all his land to
the landlord. His age enabled him little
towards manual labour and so beg^
ging was the only alternative to salvage
his wife and children. Every morning
he went door to door for some work,
food or money. The kindness of peo-i
pie always got him enough to take home.
But Raman was a little seli-eenteied.
His world began with him firstlilftjkvsd
by his tamlly and the rest. 8© He would
eat and drink to his delight and return
home with whatever he found excess.
This routine followed and he never let
anyone discover his interests as he always
put oma long face when he reached
home. site , I
One day afe he.was relishing the
bowl of nee.he had just received from
a humble tipiiiK»»i he. heard that Rani
Matsya was Jo pass from the very place
he was standing. Her generosity had
reached his ears and he knew if he
pulled a loo glace and showed how
poor he wa,s, she would hand him a
bag full of gold coins — enough for
the rest of his iff?1, enough to buy food
and supplies' ibr his family. He thought
- he could keep some coins for himself
and only repeal a few to his wife; so he
can fulfill his own wishes.
He ran to the chariot of the Rani
and begged her soldiers to allow him
to speak to the queen. Listening to the
arguments omsideRani Matsya opened
the curtains of her chariot and asked
R irrtan what he wanted. Raman went
on his knee^.and praised the queen. I
haye heard you are most generous and
most chaste, show this beggar some
charityvRanJ narrowed her brows and
asked Raman what he could give her
in return. Surprised by such a question,
Raman looked at his bowl full of
rice. With r-pite in him he just picked
up a few grains of rice and gave it to
the queen. Rani Matsya counted the 5
grains and looked at his bowl full of
rice and said, you shall be given what
is due to you. Saying this the chariot
galloped away.
Raman abused her under his
breath. This he never thought would
happen. How could she ask him for
something in return when she hadn't
given him anything ? Irked with anger
he stormed home and gave his wife the
bowl of rice. Just then he saw a sack
a,t the entrance. His wife said some
men had come and kept it there. He
opened it to find it full of rice. He put
his hand inside and caught hold of a
hard metal only to discover it was a
gold coin. Elated he upturned the sack
to find 5 gold coins in exact for the five
rice grains. If only I had given my entire
bowl, thought Raman, I would have
had a sack full of gold.
