LONG ANSWER QUESTIONS FROM PROSE SECTION Question 1 Narrate the incredible journey undertaken by Sher Singh from Laldwani to Kalaghat in Norah Burke s Journey by Night . [16] Sher Singh was a twelve year old boy, small and cheerful, a child of the jungle. His little brother, Kunwar, had a pain in his stomach that was getting worse despite the efforts of his mother to help him. After a while the mother said that Kunwar must be taken to the hospital at Kalaghat. Sher Singh realised the seriousness of the situation. His father, Sher Singh Bahadur, was away in the jungle with an expedition. Therefore the responsibility of taking Kunwar to the hospital was his. The mother took one of her two saris and making a sling for Sher Singh, lifted up Kunwar, and put him into it. She Singh set off into the jungle in the evening with the orange glow of the sunset. Kalaghat was at least fifty miles away, but Sher Singh hoped that if he could get through the jungle and cross the two rivers in between, he might get a lift in a bullock cart or perhaps even a brokendown truck for the last part of his journey. He was now alone on the track that wound into the forest, into night. Instinct made him hesitate before taking another step, as a cobra that had been sunning itself on the path in the fading daylight contracted and rose with a hiss. Sher Singh froze.

Suddenly all his muscles, shrinking back to their natural positions, thrilled with piercing pain. He lay against a tree with his eyes shut, recovering. It was then they heard the jostle and squeal of elephants. Below him on each side of the shallow river-bed, the elephants travelled. He could see the cows and babies, and one great old tusker. They came quite close and he could smell elephant. The tuskerwas swaying his trunk to and fro to learn whatever the breeze could tell him; and suddenly he hesitated. The trunk came round towards the boys. Sher Singh chilled with fright. With Kunwar to carry, he could neither climb nor run. Prayer after prayer fled up like birds from his frightened spirit. The tusker snorted, trumpeted and shook his head. Suddenly he hurried on angrily up the river-bed with the herd with him. They disappeared. Sher Singh breathed another prayer, of thanks this time, and made ready to move with Kunwar on his back once again. He scrambled down into the river-bed.
