The following text is for questions 17 to 20.

    A long time ago, nobody knew the name of the sun. The people wanted to know what to call this familiar face that rose in the sky every day and gave them warmth. So, they held a meeting on the banks of the Surem river.

    The biggest problem was that they couldn’t decide if the sun was a man or a woman. Eveyone had their own idea, but nobody could say for sure. “Let’s ask the animals,” said the people eventually. So they called all the animals of the world to join the meeting. Bird and beasts gathered by the tumbling blue water of the river before daybreak. There had never been such a huge group of people and animals.

    When the sun appeared, everyone fell silent in wonder. Then, a badger came out of the hole in the ground where it lived. It shuffled over to the meeting and said in a loud voice ,“The sun rises from the earth like I come out of my hole”.

    “Oh, badger!” they cried. “You’ve done it!” Everyone was so impressed that they started cheering and clapping. They decided to throw a huge party in the badger’s honor. However, the badger took fright at the noise. It ran back into its hole and refused to come out. It thought they wanted to punish it.

    To this day, a badger spends most of its time in its hole. It is scared that eveyone is angry with it.
