1. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below in your own words :
Old people say that childhood is the best part of life. They look back at their childhood and remember all its happy days, the jolly games, the fun they had at school, jokes they used to play and the endless discussion they had among friends on almost every topic. Perhaps these old folks are right. And yet they forget many things that were not so pleasant in their childhood. There is a funny story that tell of a boy who was crying because he had to go back to school after the holidays and the father scolded him and said, “Why, I only wish I could be a boy and go to school again.” And all in a moment the father was a little boy and his son was a grown up man like his father. And the father, in the shape of a little boy had to go school, and I can tell you he did not like it at all. A child’s troubles may seem small to grown-ups but they are very big to him.
