The Ostrich and The Hedgehog Questions & Answers
Question 1: Why did the hedgehog go on a walk across the sandy desert?
Answer: The hedgehog went on a walk across the sandy desert to see how far the barley had grown in a nearby barley field.
Question 2: Why do you think the hedgehog said, “There’s no finer sight than a field of golden barley…”?
Answer: The hedgehog had watched the barley grow from the first tiny, green shoots. Now, the stalks were so tall that they towered above his head and the barley would soon be ready for harvesting. It was satisfying for him to witness that and therefore he said, “There’s no finer sight than a field of golden barley.
Question 3: What was the ostrich so proud of?
Answer: The ostrich was proud of his strong long legs and of the fact that he could easily beat a stumpy-legged creature like the hedgehog in a running race.
Question 4: The hedgehog challenged the ostrich to race. What qualities of the hedgehog do we note from this act?
Answer: The fact that the hedgehog challenged the ostrich to race, knowing fully well that the ostrich could easily beat him, tells us that he is extremely daring. He seems to be very clever too, as he came up with a plan instantaneously to beat the ostrich in the race.
Question 5: Choose the correct option:
The hedgehog said he would meet the ostrich at midday because:
(a) he wanted the ostrich to sleep well before the race
(b) he wanted to actually eat his breakfast before the race
(c) he wanted to prepare other hedgehogs to cheat the bird
Question 6: Why did the ostrich not show his face for a long time?
Answer: The ostrich did not come out and show his face because he had lost the race and was embarrassed for that.
Question 7: Complete the sentences:
1. One beautiful morning, a hedgehog met an Ostrich.
2. The ostrich did not greet the hedgehog because he hated to talk to stumpy legged creatures like him.
3. It was decided to run the race at mid-day because they wanted to see who the fast runner was.
4. Every time the ostrich reached the end of the barley row, he found a Hedgehog sitting there.
5. The hedgehogs at the end of barley were actually the original hedgehog’s family members.
6. The last hedgehog was fresh and smiling because he didn’t run the race.
7. On the other hand, the ostrich was tired and had sore feet because he ran the race several times.
So, these were the Questions & Answers.
