The Wolf and the Crane

A wolf had been gorging on an animal he had killed, when suddenly 1. ____ in the meat stuck in his throat and he could not swallow it. He soon felt 2. ____ in his throat, and he ran up and down groaning and groaning and searching for something to relieve the pain. He tried to induce every one he met to remove the bone. “I would give anything,” said he, “if you would take it out.” At last 3. ____ agreed to try, and told the Wolf to lie on his side and open his jaws as wide as he could. Then the Crane put its long neck down the Wolf's throat, and with its beak loosened the bone, till at last got it out.

“Will you kindly give me 4. ____ you promised?” said the Crane. The Wolf grinned and showed 5. ____ and said: “Be content. You have put your head inside 6. ____ and taken it out again in safety; that ought to be reward enough for you.”

“Gratitude and greed do not together.”

Jawaban yang tepat adalah “the reward”.

Soal diatas meminta kita untuk mengisi bagian yang kosong dalam kalimat dengan pilihan kata yang tepat.

Cerita diatas mengisahkan mengenai serigala dan burung jenjang. Pada saat sang serigala memakan daging binatang buruannya, tulangnya tersangkut pada tenggorokan sang serigala. Sang serigala kemudian meminta bantuan kepada setiap hewan yang dia temui untuk mengambil tulang tersebut dari tenggorokannya.

Pada soal nomor 3 tertulis ““Will you kindly give me 4. ____ you promised?” said the Crane.” yang artinya “Sudikah kamu memberikan kepadaku …. yang kamu janjikan?” kata si burung jenjang”. Dari kalimat ini kita dapat memperkirakan bahwa si serigala menjanjikan sesuatu kepada si burung jenjang.

Jawabannya tersirat pada kata-kata si serigala “I would give anything,” said he, “if you would take it out.” yang berarti “Aku akan memberikan apapun,” katanya, “jika kamu mau mengambilnya keluar”. Jadi, serigala tersebut menjanjikan hadiah kepada siapapun yang mau membantunya.

Jadi, jawaban yang tepat untuk mengisi soal nomor 4 adalah “the reward”, sehingga kalimatnya menjadi “Will you kindly give me the reward you promised?” said the Crane."
