Read the following passages carefully and answer the questions given below them:His arms began to ache and he was forced to stop again. When he walked on, the fawn followed him at once. He allowed it to walk a little distance, then picked it up again. The distance home was nothing. He could have walked all day and into the night, carrying it and watching it follow. He was wet with sweat but a light breeze blew through the June morning, cooling him.The sky was as clear as spring water in a blue China cup. He came to the clearing. It was fresh and green after the night’s rain. He fumbled with the latch and was finally obliged to set down the fawn to manage it. Then, – he had an idea-he would walk into the house, into Penny’s bedroom, with the fawn walking behind him. But at the steps, the fawn baulked and refused to climb them.He picked it up and went to his father. Penny lay with closed eyes. Jody called, “Pa! Look!” Penny tinned his head. Jody stood beside him, the fawn clutched hard against him. It seemed to Penny that the boy’s eyes were as bright as the fawn’s. He said, “I’m glad you found him.”(1) Why did Jody stop?(2) What is the dearness of the sky compared with?(3) Why was the clearing fresh and green?(4) What does this sentence ‘the boy’s eyes were as bright as the fawn’s mean?
