PROSE SECTION
1. Read the following text and answer the questions that follow. [4x3=12]A poor man had twelve children and worked night and day just to get enough bread for them to eat. Now when the thirteenth came into the world, he did not know what to do and in his misery ran out onto the great highway to ask the first person he met to be godfather. The first come along was God, and he already knew that it was that weighed on the man's mind and said, "Poor man, I pity you. I will hold your child at the font and I will look after it and make it happy upon earth." "Who are you?" asked the man. I am god." Then I don't want you for a godfather," the man said. "You give to the rich and let the poor go hungry." That was how the man talked because he did not understand how wisely God shares our wealth and poverty, and thus he turned from the Lord and walked on. Next came the Devil and said, "What is you want?"
If you let me be godfather to your child, I will give him gold as much as he can use, and all the pleasure of the world besides." "Who are you?" asked the man. "I am the devil". "Then I don't want you for a godfather", said the man. "You deceive and mislead mankind". He walked on and along came spindle-legged Death striding toward him and said, "Take me as godfather." The man asked, "who are you?" "I am Death who makes all men equal." said the man. "Then you're the one for me; you take rich and poor without distinction. You shall be godfather." Answer Death: "I will make your child rich and famous because one who has me for a friend shall want for nothing." The man said "Next sundial is the baptism. Be there in good time."
