Questions 33 to 40

Read the an"swer the that

It was a hot and sultry afternoon, and worn out with studying. I decided to have forty winks.During this blissful time, I was rudely woken up with the sound of Ebony barking loud enough to wake upthe dead.

Annoyed that it was making such a racket. I threw a pillow over my head. However, it kept barkingand I was soon forced to investigate. When I went out Ebony was not clawing at the gate that was shut inbut at the side of the cage nearest the drain. Pvzzled that it was not asking to be let out I went nearer to itand triedto paclry it but Ebony would not prpe down. Wiping the sleep out of my eyes, I went nearer to geta close look.

As I looked into the drain,I saw a box floating. Strange,I thought. Nothing unusual. Then inbetween Ebony's barks, I heard a little mewing. I looked closely and there was a liule kitten in the box,crying piteously. I reached down and carried the box up. The little thing was wet and cold and wasshivering. I brought it into the house, wrapped a towel around it and found a small milk bottle that we usedregularly to feed strays that crossed our paths. When it was sleeping comfortably, I took some biscuits andwent out to Ebony. I held out my hand and petted it. 'Good Ebony, you saved the little kitten's life. "Ebony looked at me with shining eyes and wagged its tail.
