better up here than down there!

The lady, hearing him, thought she would show the king and his court how devoted her lover was to

her, so she dropped her glove down among the fighting lions, and then looked at Count de Lorge and

smiled at him. He bowed to her, and leaped down among the lions without hesitation, recovered the glove,

and climbed back to his place. Then he threw the glove right in the ladys face.

King Francis cried out, Well and bravely done! But it was not love that made your lady set you such a

Questions 2934

Read the passage below and answer the following questions.

Last year a grand exhibition was held in our town. My friends and I went to see it one evening.Our first impression on entering the grounds was that the whole thing looked like a fairyland. The vast

space was decorated in magnificent, bright and gay colours and lit up with countless lights. Men and women

in their best holiday clothes were moving from corner to corner, admiring the beauty of all kinds of stalls

that had been set up. These stalls were like small shops and they had for show or for sale such goods as

cloth, both ordinary and fancy, household furniture, various types of machinery, musical instruments and

numerous articles for daily uses.

While the stalls made a very interesting sight, what attracted us most was the childrens corner in the

exhibition which was crowded with boys and girls. All types of amusements could be seen there, such as a

merry-go-round, the giant wheel, wooden horses, dodge-cars and others. In each of these, children and adults

were seated and having a most thrilling and exciting time. I too had my share of fun with my friends andreturned home after enjoying a most delightful evening.
