What do you know about a desert? How do animals survive there?

OR

Was the shephered worthy of being rewarded twice in the story? Why? Give your answer accurately.

Answer:

It is very difficult to survive in deserts as they are the driest places on Earth and they remain without rain for months, sometimes even for years. The animals living in deserts adapt themselves to cope with the harsh conditions. Gerbils spend the hottest part of the day in cool underground burrows to maintain their body temperature.

Beetles catch drops of moisture through their legs and consume them. Camels get moisture from desert plants and can survive for a long time without drinking water. Their humps help them to survive in deserts in which they store water and consume it whenever required.

Yes, the shepherd was worthy of being rewarded twice. First, the king was impressed by the shepherd's goodness and wisdom when he visited his cave and made him the governor of a small district because he was glad with him.

Secondly, when the king was doubtful about the shepherd's honesty after hearing false stories about him, he asked the shepherd the reason behind carrying an iron box always.

Hearing it, the shepherd replied in a humble way that the box contained the blanket which was his oldest friend. The blanket will protect him any time. The king was pleased to hear the shepherd's reply. Being impressed with his honesty, he made him the governor of a much bigger district. Thus, the king's action was justified.
