Read the passage below and then answer questions 6 to 9.
Food is a basic need for every human being. We need it in order to remain alive. The kinds of food people eat differ from community to community. This is determined by factors such as the natural environment and culture. For example, people living near water bodies such as lakes and oceans are likely to have fish as their main diet. Those living in rice growing areas may eat a lot of rice.
bed Interestingly, what is considered food by some people may not get anywhere near the plates of others. For instance, in some communities, rats are a favourite food, while to others, it is unheard of for someone to eat rats. Indeed, one man's food is another man's poison.

The Shopkeeper was very busy on that day. She was serving many customers. When Hassan got the balance, he stepped out of the shop to count the money. He could not believe it. The Shopkeeper had given him Ksh 575! Hassan thought this was his lucky day.
He sat down under a tree to plan how he would spend his new found cash. He started counting all the things he would buy. This time he would go to a different shop.
On his way to the shop, Hassan remembered what his father had once said, 'Never take what does not belong to you'. He slowly walked towards the shop to return the money.

Read the passage below and then answer questions 13 to 15.
There once lived a king who loved stories. He wished to have someone who would tell him stories all day. So, the King announced that he would reward the person who would tell the longest story. Many people tried, but their stories did not last more than a few hours.
One day, Mokowi arrived at the palace and said he too wanted to tell a story. Mokowi was the man who usually roamed the market without a shirt.
"What story can Mokowi tell?", the King's assistants asked. Why should we listen to Mokowi's story? Surely, a crazy man like him has no business here in the King's palace. The King, however, gave him a chance. Mokowi began his story.
"One day, a swarm of locusts wanted to eat some grains from a store. The locusts made a tiny hole in the wall of the store. Only one locust could go in at a time. The first one entered, ate and came out. The second one went in, ate and came out. Another one went in, ate and came out."
On the third day, Mokowi was still telling the story. "Another one went in, ate and came out. Then, another one went in, ate and came out..."
The King looked at the story teller and said, the story will never end. "You win". Mokowi was rewarded with new clothes.

    3. thought Mokowi would not behave well
    4. did not believe that Mokowi would tell a good story.
