Passage 6
1 “A scrubbing pail, ” She said vexed. “A Mother’s Day gift of a scrubbing pail.” Her voice almost broke.
2 Tears sprang to Nick’s eyes. Without a word he picked up the scrub¬bing pail and mop and blindly trudged down the stairs. I put the comb in my pocket and ran after him. He was crying and I felt so bad I began to cry, too. On the way down we met Father. Nick could not talk, so I ex¬plained.
3 “I will take it back,” sobbed Nick.
4 “No,” said Father firmly, taking the pail. “It is a fine gift. A wonderful gift. I should have thought of it myself. Women sometimes don’t see how to escape their burdens. They escape in pretty baubles rather than lighter work.”
5 We all went upstairs again, Nick climbing very reluctantly. Inside the kitchen, Mother was still scrubbing, but not vigorously. Slowly, sadly.
6 Without a word Father soaked the puddle of dirty water up with the mop and using the foot wringer on the bucket, neatly squeezed it dry.
7 “You did not let Nick finish,” he said sternly.
8 “Part of his gift was that he was going to wash the floor from now on.” He looked at Nick. “Isn’t that so, Nick ?”
9 With a flush of shame Nick understood the lesson. “Yes, oh, yes,” he said in a low, eager tone.
10 Quickly, repentantly, Mother said, “It is too heavy work for a fourteen- year-old boy.”
11 It was then I realised how smart Father was. “Ah,” he said cunningly. “Not with this wonderful wringer and scrub pail. It’s much easier. Your hands stay clean, and your knees don’t hurt.” Again Father demonstrated quickly.
12 Mother said, looking sadly at Nick, “Ah, a woman can become so stu¬pid.” She kissed Nick and he felt better. Then they turned to me.
13 “Where is your gift?” asked Father. Nick looked at me and paled. I felt the comb in my pocket. It would make the scrubbing pail again a scrub¬bing pail compared with a comb with shining stones just like diamonds.
14 “Half the scrubbing pail,” I said mournfully, and Nick looked at me with love in his eyes.

Passage 10
1 I straightened my shoulders and followed Rahul’s dad wishing for the hundredth time that my dad was more like him.
2 “Sorry,” said the Ranger, “regulations, you know. Have to kill the tiger without our elephants. Don’t want a man-eater here, do we ?”
3 Back at the ravine we searched for the tiger’s pugmarks. The jungle was quiet, too quiet. Even the shrill twanging of the cicadas had stopped. Goose pimples formed on my arms. I could feel an odd prickling in the nape of my neck as if someone was following me stealthily. I looked over my left shoulder, there was nothing.
4 “Blood”, said a tracker, “Look ! The grass is flattened. Tiger’s been sitting here. Can’t be far off now.”
5 Something rustled in the undergrowth. I jumped, my heart thudding and thumping.
6 ‘Tiger”, whispered Rahul sidling up to his dad.
7 We started shouting, clapping, prodding with sticks to flush the tiger out. But it was only a frightened buffalo.
8 ‘Tigers can travel very fast even when wounded. He could be miles away by now. I suggest we go back and tell the Ranger we can’t find the tiger. Besides, it’s too dangerous with the boys around.” said Dad.
9 That was just like Dad; never wanting action.
10 The sua was, low over the hohmre Startled, I looked around nervously. Two bright eyes stared at me from the thicket. I stood absolutely still, my heart banging against my ribs. The eyes did a little jig. I took a deep breath; they were just fireflies.
11 I looked longingly at the nearby forest track wishing a jeep would sud¬denly materialise like in a magic show. So we wouldn’t have to walk back. I blinked. My heart started beating crazingly like a drum. My stomach somersaulted ; sweat poured down my face. A voice that didn’t sound like mine screamed. “The tiger! The tiger !”
12 The tiger was charging straight at me. Out of the comer of my eye I saw the gun shaking in Mr Mullick’s hands. The tiger took a great big leap. Bang! Something whistled past my right ear. The tiger dropped in its track, dead.
13 “My God, man ! I don’t know how you did it”, Rahul’s dad kept saying to my dad.
