A beggar found a leather purse that someone
had dropped in the marketplace. Opening it, he discovered that it contained 100
pieces of gold. Then he heard a merchant shout, "A reward! A reward to the
one who finds my leather purse!”
Being an honest man, the beggar came forward
and handed the purse to the merchant saying, "Here is your purse. May I
have the reward now?" "Reward?" scoffed the merchant, greedily
counting his gold. "Why the purse I dropped had 200 pieces of gold in it.
You've already stolen more than the reward! Go away or I'll tell the
police."
"I'm an honest man," said the
beggar defiantly. "Let us take this matter to the court."
In court the judge patiently listened to both sides of the story and said, "I believe you both. Justice is possible! Merchant, you stated that the purse you lost contained 200 pieces of gold. Well, that's a considerable cost. But, the purse this beggar found had only 100 pieces of gold. Therefore, it couldn't be the one you lost."
And, with that, the judge gave the purse and all the gold to the beggar.

Whales are the largest animal on
earth. Bigger than elephants, they may grow 95 feet long, and weight 150 tons.
A baby blue whale, just born, can be 23 feet long and weight 3 tons.
Although whales live in the oceans
and can swim like fish, they are not fish. They are mammals, like cows and
elephants. Unlike fish, they bear young alive net as eggs. Their babies live on
their mother’s milk. They breathe through their lungs and hold their breathe
when they go under water. If they cannot come to the surface to breathe fresh
air, they will drown. They are warm blooded. Fish, however, lay eggs, breathe
oxygen in the water and are cold blooded.
Whales live in all the oceans. In
the winter some of them go to warm waters to breed and in the summer most of
them go to cold waters to feed. There are two kinds of whales, whales with teeth
(toothed whales) and whales without teeth (baleen whales). The toothed whales
eat fish and squid, which they can catch with their teeth, although they
swallow their food without chewing it. The baleen whales eat plankton (small
sea animals and plants). When they find plankton, they open their mouths and
swim into the plankton. When they close their mouths, they squeeze out the
water and swallow the plankton.
Whales have few enemies. Only human
beings and the killer whales attack whales. And whales do not seem to fight
among themselves. They usually live from 20 to 30 years.

of the following is TRUE about whales?
A.
Whales are generally 95 feet long and weigh 150 tons

enemies

like fish, whales can live in all kinds of waters
D.
Their life span is usually longer than human beings
E.
A new baby whale may weigh one-fife-teeth o its mother
