Tick (3) the things you can buy from a fair.
Long ago, in a little town in the north, lived a boy called Abu. All his acquaintances
made fun of him because he often did foolish things without thinking.
“Why don’t you ever use your brain?” asked his father.
“I wish you would think before you act,” said
his mother, “then you would not do
such stupid things.”
However, Abu paid no heed to their
words and when he grew up, he
came to be known Simple Abu.
One day, Abu’s father called his son
and told him to go to the cattle fair
and buy some donkeys to carry all the
farm products to the market.
So, the following day, Abu went to the
fair and bought nine donkeys, as he was
told and decided to ride home on one
of the donkeys and let the rest of them
follow him.
