Read the following passage and answer the questions given below.

Rinky, Arjun, Dulip and Chandhi went to uncle Ravi’s farm. Aunt Ramani took them to see the
animals. They saw a herd of cows and a flock of sheep being taken to pasture. Dulip and Arjun
chased a gaggle of geese into a pond. They laughed to see the ducks waddling about.

Their aunt opened a door with a key from a bunch that hung at her waist. Rinky and Chandhi
found a litter of puppies in the shed. Later, they collected new-laid eggs from the coop and
watched the cows being milked. Arjun threw a stone at a hive in a tree and a swarm of angry bees
flew out. Arjun ran into the house and shut the door. In the evening uncle gave us some bread,
