The Little Bully | Class 5 | English | Reading Comprehension

Passage 1

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions.

Once upon a time, not so very long ago, there was a small boy called Hari. Although he wasn’t very big, he was strong, and he loved to tease all the boys and girls who went to school with him. What he loved to do most was to pinch. He could make a big bruise appear in half a second. Another trick he played was pricking people with a pin.

So you can guess how all the children hated him. They tried pinching him back, but that was no good because he could always pinch harder. They didn’t like telling their teacher, because that was telling tales.

Passage 2

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions.

It so happened that the class went for a picnic to the seaside for a whole day. All the children were most excited.

On that day, the sun shone bright, and all the children were wild with excitement. They crowded into the train and sat down- but nobody wanted to sit next to Hari because he always pinched.

When they arrived at the seaside, out jumped all the children with a shout of joy. Down to the sands they raced, hand in hand – but nobody took Hari’s hand. Nobody went near him.

Hari was angry. He went to a sandy corner near a rocky pool and sat down by himself. He took out his lunch and looked at it. It was a good lunch. There were two hard-boiled eggs, six jam sandwiches, three pieces of bread and butter, a ginger cake, and a bar chocolate. He would eat it all by himself. He wouldn’t offer anything to anyone!
