The text is for the following question.
Little Boy with a Slingshot
Once upon a time, Sammy and his sister, Marie, visited their grandparents at their farm. Sammy picked up a slingshot to play with out in the woods. He practiced in the woods, but he could never hit the target. Getting a little discouraged, he headed back for the lunch. As he was walking back, he saw Grandma's pet duck.
Just out of impulse, he let the slingshot fly which hit the duck square in the head and killed it. He was schocked and grieved. In a panic, he hid the duck in the pile of woods. Marie had seen it all from the window, but she said nothing. After the lunch, Grandma said, "Maire, let's do the dishes". Marie said, "But Grandma, Sammy told me he wanted to help in the kitchen".
Then, she whispered to Sammy, "Remember the duck?" Sammy got nervous because his sister knew about the duck. If he did not obey, she might tell his grandparents about it. Thus, without saying anything, he did the dishes.
Later that day, Grandpa asked if the children wanted to go fishing, but Grandma said, "I'm sorry, but I need Marie to help me make a supper". Marie just smiled and said, "Well, that's all right because Sammy told me he wanted to help".
She whispered again to Sammy, "Remember the duck?" Thus, Marie went fishing, and Sammy stayed to help. After several days of Marie taking advantage of Sammy, he finally couldn't stand it any longer. He came to Grandma and confessed that he had killed the duck.
Grandma knelt down, gave him a hug, and said, "Sweetheart, I know it. I was standing at the window, and I saw the whole thing, but because I love you, I've forgiven you. I was just wondering how long you would let Marie take advantage of you". (UN 2018/2019)
