Q1. Read the given passage and answer the questions given below.
Maya loved exploring the woods near her house. Every evening, she would take her
sketchbook and walk along the winding path surrounded by a cluster of tall trees and a flock
of birds. One day, she noticed a tiny bird hopping on the ground with a wing that looked
injured. Feeling sorry for the bird, Maya decided to help it. She carefully picked it up and
brought it home.
At home, she gently cleaned the bird's wing and gave it some water. The bird chirped softly,
and Maya named it Sunny. Over the next few days, she took care of Sunny, feeding it seeds
and keeping it warm in a little box lined with soft cloth.
Sunny grew stronger each day, and Maya felt proud of how well she was taking care of it.
One afternoon, she left the box open, and Sunny hopped out. It flapped its wings a few times
and flew across the room. Maya knew it was time to let Sunny go. The next morning, she
carried Sunny to the woods and released it.
As Sunny flew away, Maya had mixed feelings. A feeling of sadness as Sunny was leaving
her alone, and happiness as Sunny could fly well and would be a free bird again. She had
learned that kindness and love sometimes mean letting go.
