उत्तर

Some expressions of humour from the extract are as follows:

  1. An ass‘s nole I fixed on his head.
  2. And forth my mimic comes. When they him spy,
    As wild geese that the creeping fowler eye,
  3. Sever themselves, and madly sweep the sky, So, at his sight, away from his fellows fly;
  4. Then will two at once woo one;
    That must need to be sport alone:
    And those things do best please me
    That befall preposterously.
  5. Away, you Ethiope!
  6. Hang off, thou cat, thou burr! vile thing, let loose,
    Or I will shake thee from me like a serpent!
  7. Get you gone, you dwarf;
    You minimus, of hind'ring knot-grass made;
    You bead, you acorn.
  8. Your hands than mine are quicker for a fray:
    My legs are longer though, to run away.

Read the passage and write the summary of it. Suggest a suitable title to your summary.

King Krishnadeva Raya would perform heavy exercises every morning. He regularly applied oil on his body and thereafter worked out till all the oil came out with the sweat. This was followed by a long ride on his horse. Once the king started leading a sedentary lifestyle, and he stopped exercising. He no longer went horse-riding either. The king overate and as a result grew fat and heavy. The king‟s temperament also underwent a sea change.

Noticing this, the royal physicians cautioned the king against the ill effects of overeating and explained to him the risks posed by obesity. They advised the king to regulate his diet, exercise, and take care of his health. The repeated advice he got from the physicians to eat less made him so angry that one day he announced a reward for anyone who could find him an easy cure. But there was one condition: those who failed would have their heads off. None dared to advise the king in this regard. The situation became precarious and as usual Tenali Raman was approached by the courtiers for a remedy. Tenali heard the problem and assured the courtiers of a viable solution. The next day, an astrologer predicted that the king had only a month left to live. When the king came to know of this, he was furious. The astrologer was ordered by the king to be imprisoned for a month so that his prediction could be put to test and so the hapless forecaster was sent to prison.
