Directions(71 80): Read the following passage
carefully and answer the questions given below it.
Certain words / phrases have been printed in bold
to help you locate them while answering some of
the questions.
A man called Ramaya lived in a small village. De-
spite being a nice man, he did not have any friends.
It was well known in the town that anyone unfor-
tunate enough to look at him first thing in the
morning would not be able to have food that day.
That was why no one in the town liked encounter-
ing Ramaya in the morning, if they could help it.
As soon as the king heard this rumour he decided
to try it out himself.
He summoned Ramaya to the palace and ordered
him to sleep in a room adjacent to his bedcham-
ber. Ramaya had no choice but to follow the kings
order. He feared that the rumour would come true.
The next morning, the first time the king did after
waking up, was to take a look at Ramaya. When
the king reached the breakfast table, he saw that
the royal chef had forgotten to prepare his favourite
www.todaysprint.com www.ibpsexamguru.in
7
dish. This angered him and he refused to have
breakfast. After finishing a few important duties
in the court, the king went to the dining hall for
lunch. The food arrived piping hot. The king had
hardly picked up the first morsel when he caught
sight of a fly in the food. He left the table in
disgust and when the food was prepared again for
him, he found that he had lost his appetite. At
the dinner table, an ignorant minister started eat-
ing before the king had started. This offended the
king. He stormed out of the dining hall and refused
to come back. As a result, the king could not eat
anything at all that day. The enraged king was
now convinced that Ramaya was really jinxed. He
ordered that Ramaya be hanged. In those days the
kings word was the law. The soldiers had no op-
tion but to take Ramaya to the gallows. While on
their way to the gallows, they met the court jester.
He heard the story from Ramaya. The jester felt
that it was an unfair decision and that none of
this was Ramayas fault. He came up with a plan
to save Ramaya from being hanged. He whispered
something in Ramayas ears. Ramaya nodded be-
fore being whisked away.
It was mandatory to grant one last wish to the
person who was being hanged. When the soldiers
asked Ramaya about his last wish, he asked them
to convey a message to the king. He also requested
that he be hanged only after hearing the kings
response. Tell the king that while it may be true
that anyone who sees my face first thing in the
morning does not get anything to eat that day, its
also true that if anyone sees the kings face first
thing in the morning, as I did, he has to lose his
life. So who is the greater jinx - the king or I ?"
said Ramaya.
On hearing the message, the king was stunned. He
realised his foolishness and ordered his soldiers
to stop the execution. He summoned Ramaya and
offered him gifts. He also requested Ramaya not
to say anything about the incident to the public.
He was sure that the people of the village wouldnt
take well to the idea of having a jinxed person for a
ruler. Ramaya agreed. When the villagers saw Ra-
maya returning with the gifts, they assumed that
the rumour was false and that the king had given
the gifts to Ramaya as compensation. They were
