Section A – Reading
Q1. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow. [10 marks]
Every year on the occasion of Eid, there was a fair in our village. Eid was celebrated only one day but the fair lasted many days. Tradesmen from far and wide came there with all kinds of goods to sell. You could buy anything from a small pin to a big buffalo.
Uncle took me to the fair. Bhaiya, who worked for us at home, came with us. There was a big crowd at the fair. Uncle was leading us through the crowd when he met some of his friends. They wanted him to spend some time with them.
Uncle asked me whether I would like to look around the fair with Bhaiya till he came back. I was happy to do that. Uncle warned me neither to buy anything nor to go too far out while he was away. I promised that I will wait for him.
I just looked around till Uncle came. He then took me to a shop and bought a beautiful umbrella, biscuits and sweets and some other little gifts. He also let me and Bhaiya sit in a giant wheel and we went to see a magic show. The magician looked funny with a long robe and a pointed cap but he had some amazing tricks to show. He hid a coin in his sleeve and retrieved it from a boy in the audience. He even pulled out a dove from his sleeve and I clapped loudly. Then we returned home.

Mr. Nobody
-Anonymous
I know a funny little man,
As quiet as a mouse,
Who does the mischief that is done?
In everybody's house!
There's no one ever sees his face,
And yet we all agree,
That every plate we break was cracked.
By Mr. Nobody.
He puts damp wood upon the fire,
That kettle cannot boil;
His are the feet that bring in mud,
And all the carpets soiled.
The papers always are mislaid,
Who had them last but he?
There's no one tosses them about.
But Mr. Nobody.
The finger marks upon the door,
By none of us are made;
We never leave the blinds unclosed,
To let the curtains fade.
The ink we never spill;
the boots that lying round you see,
Are not our boots -- they all belong.
To Mr. Nobody.
