question_answer4) Arrange P, Q, R and S between A and B in order to make a sensible story: A: The Sun while going on his daily rounds saw a princess and fell in love with her. Whenever he could slip away from the heavens he would take human form and go down to the princess to spend some time with her. The princess too became quite fond of him and would wait for him to come. P: Believing that it was the Sun's way of telling her that he did not care for her, she flung the bag away, rushed to her palace, and never came out again. When the Sun learnt of what had happened he was furious. So great was his anger that when he turned his scorching gaze on the crow, its feathers were burned black. Its feathers have been black ever since. Q: One day the Sun decided to send her a blood-red ruby as a token of his love for her. He put the gem in a silken bag, and calling a crow that was flying past, asked the bird to deliver the gem to his beloved. Crows had milky white feathers in those days and it was considered auspicious if a crow came anywhere near one. So the Sun was pleased that he had found a crow to deliver the gem. R: When he opened the bag and saw its contents he almost swooned in joy. Quickly pocketing the ruby, he filled the bag with dry cow dung that was lying there, and then deftly returned the bag to the branch. It was all done so quickly that the crow missed all the action. After having its fill, it flew up to the tree, and picking up the bag took it to the person it was intended for. The princess was in the garden. When the crow gave her the bag, she took it eagerly, knowing that it was from the Sun. But when she saw its contents she reeled back in shock and anger. S: As the crow sped through the sky with the silken bag, the aroma of food reached its nostrils. Looking down it saw that a wedding feast was in progress, and immediately it was distracted from its mission. Food was one thing it could never resist! Alighting on a tree nearby, it hung the bag on a twig and went off to find some food. While the crow was feasting, a merchant passing by saw the bag on the tree, and knocked it down with a pole. B: The story goes on to tell us that the ruby did not stay with the man who stole it. It fell out of his pocket and rolled into a deep pit. Men have been trying to dig it out ever since. Many precious stones have been found in the process, making Burma (now Myanmar) one of the richest sources of rubies and sapphires, but the ruby that the Sun sent to the princess is yet to be found.

He was famous for the fairness of his judgements. One day while the magistrate was walking through a market he saw a crowd outside a poultry shop. P: Fear had made the peasant's speech incoherent. Nobody could understand what he was saying. "The price put on the chicken is hundred coins," said the magistrate, to the peasant. "I advise you to pay." There was a gasp from the crowd. Everybody had expected the magistrate to rule in the peasant's favour. The owner of the chicken was overjoyed. Q: His argument was that the chicken would have grown into a plump bird in another two years and then it would have fetched him the amount he was asking for. Somebody recognized the magistrate, and everybody made way for him. "Judge our case, My Lord!" said the owner of the chicken, letting go of the peasant and bowing obsequiously to the magistrate. "This man, through his carelessness has caused the death of a chicken that would have fetched me a hundred coins in another two years!" R: "They said you were fair in your judgements, My Lord," he said, rubbing his hands in glee, "now I can say there is no one fairer than you!" "The Law is always fair," smiled the magistrate. "Tell me, how much grain does a chicken eat in a year?" "About half a sack," said the poultry shop owner. S: On enquiring what the matter was he learnt that a peasant had accidentally dropped a heavy sack on a chicken, crushing it to death. The chicken was small, worth only about five coins, but the owner of the shop had caught the peasant by his throat and was demanding a hundred. B: "So in two years the chicken who died would have eaten a whole sack of grain," said Duan Guangqinj. "Please give the sack of grain you've saved to this man." The chicken owner turned pale. A sack of grain would cost more than hundred coins. Cowed by the jeers of the crowd, he declared he would not take any money from the peasant, and retreated into the safety of his shop.
