Mina tapped her foot impatiently while she waited for her mother to decide.
Her mother seemed to be taking an age. First she had to turn the oven on and
then she decided the sink needed cleaning.

Mina waited patiently, but she could not help drumming her fingers upon the
table. One sharp glance from her mother and Mina stopped.

Just when it looked as if her mother might decide, Mina’s brother Mohan
wandered in, with his friend Tarzan. The two boys made straight for the
fridge. They didn’t even glance at Mrs. Thapa. It was as if they had not even
seen her.

“Who said you could help yourselves?” snapped Mrs. Thapa. The boys
grinned sheepishly.

“But we are starving,” whined Mohan. Tarzan looked embarrassed. He hadn’t
bargained to mingle with an irate mother on the prowl.

She fixed the children with one of her famous looks and, with a sharp intake
of breath, launched into what turned out to be a force eight blast of irritation
that had brewed over the last few weeks. They deserved it and they knew it.
Mina stared at her shoe caps and toed the carpet.

STARTED

Read the following text.

A man was travelling through a dark, wet, dense
forest on a horse. The cold air seemed to move in
his heavy, black, tattered coat. As he moved
forward into the forest, the darkness moved
closer. He could no longer see the silver
buttons of his coat. His hands became odd.
So he did not see the horse’s sharp ears stick straight as he picked up
on a distant sound, too soft for a human to hear. It was a sound that he
knew only too well – the sound of pointed claws, the soft padding of swift
feet. It was the clear sound of a wolf. A lean, grey wolf with sharp eyes and
an empty belly walked in quiet steps towards him.

Circle adjectives in the following texts.

a. The tired, weary, sleepy rat ran down the steep, sloping bank, panting
hard. It paused at the wet, damp ditch and waited. No sound came
from the direction of the big road, so it began to make its way along the
wet, damp ditch towards the nice, warm, cozy, open burrow. There
was an uneasy, nasty, horrid silence from the burrow. It was dawn and the
sun-light had already warmed the damp earth beneath the rat’s damp
paws. It stopped and sniffed. There was no trace of rabbit.

b. They stopped and stared. The bridge hung across the sluggish river.
It was made of black metal chains. Dry rushes had been woven
between the rusted chains. On the opposite shore two large, wooden
posts held the chains. The posts were decorated with bright feathers
and small flags that shimmered in the breeze. “Prayer flags,”
muttered Signi, “They are afraid of the river.” Dore looked down
at the dark river. It was a rich, brown colour, swollen with the rain.
A white mist hung across the dull skin of the river so that the far bank
was barely visible. It would be like walking into a white cave of

nothingness. Dore touched the cold hilt of his sword for comfort.
