NARRATIVE
SEMESTER 2ND GRADE VIII SMP
Read the text then answer questions clearly and
briefly!
Once upaon a time a Cat and a Fox were
traveling together. As they went along, picking up provisions on the way—a
stray mouse here, a fat chicken there—they began an argument to while away the time between bites. And, as
usually happens when comrades argue, the talk began to get personal.
"You think you
are extremely clever, don't you?" said the Fox. "Do you pretend to
know more than I? Why, I know a whole
sacksful of tricks!"
"Well,"
retorted the Cat, "I admit I know one trick only, but that one, let me
tell you, is worth a thousand of yours!"
Just then, close by,
they heard a hunter's horn and the yelping
of a pack of hounds. In an instant the Cat was up a tree, hiding among
the leaves.
"This is my
trick," he called to the Fox. "Now let me see what yours are
worth."
The Fox had so many plans
for escape
but he could not decide
which one to try first. He dodged here and there with the hounds at his heels.
He doubled on his tracks, he ran at top speed, he entered a dozen burrows,—but
all in vain. The hounds caught him, and soon put an end to the boaster and all
his tricks.
