2 Reading Passage This is one of Chaucer s Canterbury Tales told by the steward as the pilgrims make their journey. Read it very carefully before answering the questions. When Phoebus lived down here on earth, he was (as the old books tell us) the liveliest young knight in the world, and the best archer too. He slew the serpent Python as he lay sleeping in the sun. That was only one of his many splendid deeds. He could also play any instrument and sing the loveliest melodies. Amphion, King of Thebes, whose singing raised the city wall, could not match him as a singer. Phoebus was a man of great distinction, the noblest, most handsome and honourable man since the world began. 5 Phoebus had in his house a crow, which he kept in a cage and taught to speak. It was as white as a snow-white swan and could imitate anybody s speech. No nightingale in the world could sing a hundred thousandth part as sweetly. Now Phoebus had a wife whom he loved more than life and did his best to please. But he was very jealous and kept a close watch on her. He didn t want to risk being made to look a fool. We all feel like that but what s the use? There s nothing you can do about it. When you have a good wife, it s a mistake to try and keep an eye on her all the time. A strong instinct is not to be thwarted. Take a bird, for example. Put it in a cage and do your best to foster it tenderly with food and drink and every dainty you can think of. Though its cage is of the brightest gold, yet it would twenty thousand times rather live in the cold wild forest and eat worms. All it wants is liberty, and it will always try to escape if it can. Or take a cat. You may feed it with milk and with juicy meat and give it a bed of silk. But once it sees a mouse run by the wall, it forgets all that. All it can think of is eating the mouse. Instinct wins. So it was that Phoebus, who had no guile in him, was in spite of all his fine qualities deceived. His wife became infatuated with another man, who was quite worthless compared with him. And this sort of situation always causes trouble. Once, when Phoebus was out of the house, his wife sent for her fancy man if you ll forgive the expression. The white crow in its cage saw them together and never said a word. But when Phoebus came home, the crow sang, Cuckoo! Cuckoo! Cuckoo! Page 2 of 11
3 Reading Passage (contd) Why, bird! said Phoebus. Whatever s that song you re singing? I ve always enjoyed your songs but this one is different! But it suits the occasion, said the crow. Phoebus, in spite of all your distinction, your grace and musicianship, your wife is deceiving you. You ve been hoodwinked by a nobody, a man no better than a gnat compared with you. And the crow told him what it had seen while he was away, and how shamelessly his wife had behaved. Phoebus turned his head away, thinking his sorrowful heart would break in two. In his rage he bent his bow, put an arrow to the string, and killed his wife yes, killed her. Then, suddenly horrified at what he had done, he broke his harp and lute, guitar and psaltery, as well as his bow and arrows, and cried out to the crow, Traitor with a scorpion tongue, you have destroyed me. I wish I were dead. My dear wife, you were so faithful and true to me. Now you lie dead, so pale of face, and innocent too I swear you were innocent. Oh, I was too hasty I was mad to kill you! We should beware of hastiness and believe nothing without a witness. Oh, I could kill myself for grief! He looked at the crow and said angrily, I ll punish you for this! There was a time when you could sing like the nightingale; but you shall lose your song and all your white feathers too. Traitor! You and your offspring will be black for ever! Never in all your life shall you speak again or make sweet music. For ever after, when storm and rain are on the way, you will croak, because it was your fault that my wife was killed He sprang at the crow and pulled out all its white feathers. Then he made it black and took away its song and flung it out of doors as a present to the devil. And that s why all crows are now black. Gentlemen, don t forget what I ve told you. Never tell a man a tale you ve heard against his wife, or you will earn his mortal hatred. Whether or not there s any truth in the tale, keep your mouth shut. Remember the crow. 50 Page 3 of 11
4 En 2 Response to Reading Time allowed: 50 minutes Read the passage very carefully and answer the following questions. There are 15 questions in total. They do not become harder as you go through them. The marks give an indication of how much to write. Most answers can be given very briefly. 1.

What point do you think the writer is making in this simile? (Clue: remember the ending.) (1 mark) 4. We all feel like that but what s the use? (Line 12).

(Line 23) He sprang at the crow and pulled out all its white feathers. (Line 46) He slew the serpent Python as he lay sleeping in the sun. (Line 2) (1 mark) Page 4 of 11
5 En 2 Response to Reading (contd) 9. The cuckoo has a reputation for taking over the nests that other birds have made and pushing out the real owners. The crow sings Cuckoo! Cuckoo! Cuckoo! to Phoebus. (Line 26) What does the crow mean when it says, it suits the occasion? Explain clearly. (2 marks) 10. What is the reason for all the dashes and exclamation marks between lines 37 and 43? How do they help the reader understand Phoebus s mood? (2 marks) 11. Why does the storyteller repeat killed his wife yes, killed her at line 34? (2 marks) 12. The whole story could be summarised by the seven sentences below. Put them in the order that they appear in the story. For your answer, you need only write the letters next to each sentence. (e.g. D-E-F-G-A-B-C.) A. The crow reports to Phoebus what his wife has been doing. B. There is a description of Phoebus s feelings about his wife. C. The steward tells his listeners to remember his story and learn a lesson from it. D. There is a description of Phoebus s fine character and his achievements. E. The steward gives two examples of how instinct always triumphs. F. Phoebus kills his wife in anger but then regrets it and takes revenge on the crow. G.

Give a word or phrase used in the story that makes you feel this. Explain your answer clearly. (3 marks) Before answering the last two questions, read this carefully. Chaucer invented lots of people and then made up stories for them to tell. The people that he invented are a mixture of pleasant and unpleasant. Chaucer says that the Steward is crafty and sly. 14. Which of these do you think is the Steward s main message in his story? Copy out the one that you choose. A. It says that honesty is not always the best policy and it is often better to keep things to yourself. B. It tells why crows became black and why they croak. C. It warns that if you are going to deceive someone, you should be very careful about the arrangements. D. It tries to teach that you should think before you do something that you might regret later. E. It wants all caged animals to be freed. (2 marks) 15. Do you think that the Steward wants us to feel sorry for anyone at the end? If so, who? Pick just one of them and give your reasons clearly.
