Last month, my brother and I cleaned the store-room. My brother dusted the rack and I swept
the floor. When my brother dusted the rack, he found our toys when we were children, in a box. He
took several toys and said they were still in a good condition. Then, we took them from the box
and cleaned them.
My father came and told us that he kept the toys in the store-room because both of us really
loved them and didn’t allow him to give the toys to others. We liked them, but we grew and could
not play with them anymore. My brother had an idea to sell them online, but I refused. I preferred
to give them to children around us and they agreed.
The next day, my brother and I invited children in our neighbourhood and showed them our
toys. They were really interested in them. Then, I said that if they liked the toys, they could take
them. They were happy and thanked us. Since then, they often visited our house and talked about
playing with the toys. It seemed like I had many little brothers and sisters. It was enjoyable.

Questions 26 to 29 refer to the following text.

The animals in Happy Valley were sad. They were all troubled that several creatures were
unkind to the others. The strong and kind elephant was their leader, so the animals ran to it and
told it all.
The elephant wanted to know which animals were unkind. Therefore, it called the animals for
meeting and told them to stop their bad habits. Being lazy, cruel, selfish or jealous would spoil the
happiness of the whole forest. All the gentle animals like the camel, sheep, dove, ant and bee
listened carefully to the elephant’s words. They nodded in agreement. However, the other animals
like the tiger, snake, wasp, hornet, fly, grasshopper and ape became very angry with the elephant’s
words. They grumbled and murmured loudly.
The elephant trumpeted for silence. Then it continued, “I gave my advice to everyone here, but
only some of you were happy to hear me!” It explained that those who agreed with its advice were
good animals, but the ones that were angry with its words were the real troublemakers!
All the creatures were silent. Then the tiger apologized for its unkindness to the weaker
animals. The other animals that initially grumbled with the elephant’s advice also apologized. All
the creatures lived happily since then.
