With infinite care I manoeuvred the mother and family into a matchbox, and then hurried home, Just as I entered the door, lunch was served, 80, I placed the matchbox carefully on the mantelpiece in the drawing-room, made my way to.the dining room and joined the family for the meal, Dawdling over my food, and feeding Roger surreptitiously under the table I completely forgot about my exciting new captures. My elder brother Larry, having finished his meal, fetched his cigar and the matchbox from the drawing room, and lying back in the chair he put one in his mouth, Oblivious of my impending doom I watched him interestedly as he opened the matchbox Now I maintain to this day that the female scorpion meant no harm, She was agitated and a trifle annoyed at being shut up in a matchbox for so long. She hoisted herself out of the box with great rapidity, her babies clinging on desperately, and scuttled on to the back of Larry's hand, Larry, feeling the movement of her claws, glanced down to see what it was and from that moment things got increasingly confused. He uttered a roar of fright that made the maid drop a plate and brought Roger, the dog, from beneath the table, barking wildly, With a flick of his hand Larry sent the unfortunate scorpion flying down the table, and she landed midway between Margo and Leslie, scattering babies like confetti. Thoroughly enraged at this treatment, the creature sped towards Leslie, her sting quivering with emotion, Leslie leapt to his feet and flicked out desperately with his napkin,sending the scorpion rolling across the cloth towards Margo, who promptly let out a scream that any railway engine would have been proud to produce. Mother, completely bewildered by this chaos, put on her glasses and peered down the table to see what was causing the pandemonium, and at that moment Margo, in a vain attempt to stop the scorpion's advance, hurled a glass of water at it. The shower missed the anirnal completely, but successfully drenched Mother. The scorpion had now gone to ground under Leslie’s plate, while her babies swarmed wildly all over the table, Roger, mystified by the panic, but determined to do his share, ran round and round the room, barking hysterically. “It’s that boy again...” bellowed Larry. “Look out! Look out! They're coming!” screamed Margo. “All we need is a book,” roared Leslie; “don’t panic, hit them with a book.” “What on earth’s the matter with you all?” Mother kept imploring, mopping her glasses. “t's that boy... he'll Kill the lot of us... Look at the table... knee-deep in scorpions...” “That boy... Every matchbox in the house is a death trap...” shouted Larry “Look out, it's co towards me... Quick, quick, do something...” By the time a certain amount of order had been restored, all the baby scorpions had hidden themselves, While the family, still simmering with rage and fright, retired to the drawing room, I spent half an hour rounding up the babies, picking them up in a teaspoon and returning them to their mother’s back. Then I carried them outside and, with the utmost reluctance, released them on the garden wall, Roger and I spent the afternoon on the hillside, fot | felt it would be prudent to allow the family to have a rest before seeing them again, (@) For each word given below choose the correct meaning (as used in the passage) from the options provided: I, manocuvred (a) moved skilfully (b) garrulous (¢) fearful —__(d) mangle 2.annoyed (a) reacted (b)negated — (c) announced (d) irritated 3. bewildered (a) lucid (b)baffied — (©) sagacious —_(@) steady (b) Answer the following questions in brief: (1) Why did the writer fail to recognise the baby seonpions when he saw them first?
