17. Read
the text and put the paragraphs (1–5) in the correct order.

 

1) The birds were watching all this. They felt sorry for the monkey but
there was little they could do for him. One of them said, “Brother! Our small
nests are not enough to give you shelter.” Another bird said, “All of us
prepared for the rainy season. If you had, you would not be in this piteous
situation.”

 

2) On a mango tree in a jungle, there lived many birds. They were happy in
their small nests. Before the onset of the rainy season, all the animals of the
jungle repaired their homes. The birds also made their homes more secure.

 

3) It continued raining for many days. One day, a monkey wet in the rain
came into the forest. He sat on a branch, shivering with cold, water dripping
from his body.  The poor monkey tried his
best to get shelter, but in vain. The leaves were not enough to save him from
the rain. “Brrr! It is so cold!” said the monkey.

 

4) “How dare you tell me what to do?” said the monkey, growling at the
bird. The monkey angrily pounced on the bird’s nest, tore it and threw it on
the ground. The bird and her chicks were helpless.

The poor bird thought, “Fools never value good
advice. It is better not to advise them.”

 

5) Many birds brought twigs and leaves and others wove their nests. “We
should also store some food for our children,” chirped one of the birds. And
they collected food, until they had enough to see them through the rainy
season. They kept themselves busy preparing for the tough times.

Soon the rain came. It was followed by thunder
and lighting. All the animals and birds stayed in their homes.
