reflection and thought "My mane is too old. I need a new hairstyle!"
The Lion then roared "I'm the king of the jungle and this unruly
mane does not fit a king!" He dipped his paw into the river and tried
desperately to smooth his mane.
"Flap it all up. That will suit you!" the Zebra said.
"Yes, it will even look better with a bit of colour to match your
moustache," the Giraffe added. "What about a few ribbons?" the
Vulture asked. Then cried the Hyena "I know, a paper crown is what you

"What do you think I should do, snake?" The king asked.
"If a king is a wise king, nobody cares about his hairstyle,"
The snake said with a hissing sound.
The king stared at the snake for some time. Then he smiled and kissed
the snake.
"Oh, why am I so vain? Am I not the King of the jungle?"
roared the lion. He shook his head from side to side to shake his mane back
into place." From now on I promise to be a wise king and not bother about
my looks!" the Lion roare [Lesson —15(A)]

Read the following text carefully and answer the questions.

Folk songs are the part of Bangladeshi culture. They express rural people's hopes, aspirations, sorrows, dreams, and happiness. Some of the important folk songs are Jari gaan, Sari gaan, Hason Rajar gaan, Vatiali, Gamvira, Nailar gaan. 

Jari gaan is a mourning song that is sung during a tragic event in chorus. Sari gaan is related to the life of boatmen. They sing sari gaan while they sail the boats. These songs also tell their sorrows, happiness, dreams and hopes.

Gamvira is a song of Rajshahi region which is actually sung in chorus. This type of song normally satirizes the negative aspects of society. Nailar song is a kind of prayer song sung for the blessing of God. These folk songs add diversity to our culture.
