Read the text and answer the questions 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 :
It was a hot summer day. A man was passing through a village. He sold caps to the villagers. He walked for miles and felt very tired. He sat under a big tree to take rest. He put his basket of caps beside him. He then fell asleep. There were monkeys in the tree. The monkeys saw the caps in the basket. They became curious.
The monkeys came down from the tree and took away the caps. After sometime, the man woke up. He found that there was no cap in the basket. He was surprised. He looked for the caps.
Then he heard some sound above his head. He looked up. He could not believe his eyes! The monkeys were wearing the caps.
The cap-seller became very worried. He did not know what to do. Suddenly he remembered that monkeys like to imitate. So he took off his own cap and threw it on the ground. The monkeys saw it.

A monkey

Dear Mizan,
Hope you are well. Yesterday I received your letter. You wanted to hear the story of a cap-seller and the monkeys. I am writing you about it.
It was a hot summer day, a cap-seller felt tired as he walked for miles. He sat under a huge tree putting his basket of caps beside him. Then he fell asleep. Some monkeys were there in the tree. Out of curiosity they got down and took the caps away. After waking up, the man was at a loss as the caps were worn by the monkeys living in that tree. Though worried, the man knew about monkeys’ imitative behaviour. So, he took off his own cap and threw it. The monkeys saw it and did the same. The cap-seller collected caps from the ground and left the place quickly.
No more today. Hope to hear from you soon.
Your lovingly,
Monir
