COMPREHENSION

B. Answer the questions.
1. 
Ans: The two giants were robbing the travellers in the kingdom.

2. 
Ans: When the tailor arrived at the forest , the two giants were sleeping in thhe hot afternoon. They were snoring a lot. Their snores could be heard from a long distance by the tailor. He followed the sounds and discovered the giants sleeping beneath a tree. That is how the giants' snores helped the tailor.

3. 
Ans: The tailor took cover behind a tree. He then quietly picked up a stone and threw it at the first giant. The giant awoke, furious, and looked around. But he didn't see anyone else besides his friend. He thought his friend had hit him, so he pretended to sleep. He yelled at his friend and woke him up. He had not hit him, according to his friend. They both fell back to sleep. Another stone was picked up by the tailor from behind the tree and thrown at the second giant. The giant awoke enraged. He now believed his friend, the first giant, had struck him with the stone. As a result, he struck his sleeping companion with the same stone. The giants thought that the other partner was hitting him and that started a huge fight among them.

4. 
Ans: The tailor mentioned in the preceding astory used his intelligence rather than his physical strength to capture the giants. He realised he couldn't fight the giants with his physical strength, so he devised the strategy of divide and rule. He made the giants fight among themselves, allowing the tailor to win the battle without even fighting.

5. 
Ans:  The story's two giants fought each other, resulting in a happy ending that made the tailor a hero. But, if they had trusted each other, they would have easily discovered that they were being led on by someone else, and the town and the tailor might not have had a happy ending.
