Certain words\/phrases have been printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.<br \/>\nOnce upon a time there was an old man called Yugiyama, in a small village in Japan. He lived alone as his only son had gone far away to study. Yugiyama was a nice and friendly man who was liked by all the people in the village. He had a very positive view of everything that happened around him. He never grumbled or complained about anything.<br \/>\nThe villagers would often come over to the old man\u2019s house to express their sympathy as his only son had gone far away and even at this old age he had no one to look after him and support him. They often wondered aloud if his son would ever <strong>return<\/strong>. As a reply to all their concerns, Yugiyama would always thank them and say, \u201cWhatever happens, happens for the good.\u201d No one ever understood why he was never sad about his son\u2019s absence. One day, Yugiyama\u2019s son returned to the village after completing his education. His son had become a merchant and was earning very well. He look great care of his father. Everyone was not only amazed at Yugiyama\u2019s luck but they were also very happy for him. Streams of villagers come over to congratulate him and like always, the old man was <strong>polite<\/strong>. He thanked all of them for coming over and said, \u201cWhatever happens, happens for the good.\u201d Barely a few days had passed, when one day, Yugiyama\u2019s son fell off a horse back and broke his leg. Once again the entire village came over to Yugiyama\u2019s house to express their concern and again the old man thanked them for sympathy and said, \u201cWhatever happens, happens for the good.\u201d Some of the villagers were surprised to hear this and wondered what good could there possibly be in this situation as his son had broken a leg and old Yugiyama would have to take care of him.<br \/>\nA month later, the Kingdom to which Yugiyama, belonged and the neighbouring kingdom had a war. The king announced that they needed more young men in the army. A small troupe of the army came to the village and recruited all able \u2013 bodied young men into the army. They did not give anyone a choice. Even those who were reluctant were forced to join the army. When they came to Yugiyama\u2019s house they found his son with a broken leg. The army leader told Yugiyama, \u201cyour son is injured and so, he will not be of any help in the battle field. \u201cthus, they left him behind. Once again, all the villagers come to the old man\u2019s house to congratulate him for his good luck. They said \u201cYou are lucky that your son was not recruited. Otherwise, who would have looked after you?\u201d Like always, the old man thanked them and said, \u201cWhatever happens, happens for the good.\u201d It was only then that the villagers understood the true meaning of Yugiyama\u2019s words.<br \/>\n[WATU 562]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Directions:Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it.
