(c) How did Golu develop a trunk?

(d) "She was completely soaked in blood. The wolf, tired and sleepy, was getting ready to devour her." Explain this.

(e) Timothy would play with the narrator and draw his attention? How?

Answer:

(a) The Queen Ant is also known as the mother. It has a pair of wings which it bites off after its wedding flight/After that when it returns to the earth it bites off its wings and lays eggs only.

(b) In the desert there is no blanket of moisture in the atmosphere, therefore, the hot sun rays fall directly on sand and make it hot. During the night due to little moisture in the air, the sand cools down rapidly.

(c) When the crocodile pulled Golu's nose and Golu also pulled in order to free himself, his nose grew longer and longer and developed into a 5 feet long trunk.

(d) These two sentences suggest that the goat and the wolf had a fierce fight between them throughout the night. But the wolf was successful in killing the ?free? goat. By the time it was morning and at the end of the fight, the wolf was heading towards the blood soaked carcass of the goat to eat it off.

(e) Timothy had a crafty look, with his glittering eyes and his body crouching he would creep closer and closer to the narrator. He was very affectionate. He would roll on narrator's back, lick him with delight and sometimes also pretend to bite his ankles. Thus, Timothy always tried to draw the narrator's attention.
