Instruction: Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:

Once upon a time, in a dense forest, there lived a family of deer. The youngest member of the family was a
curious and adventurous fawn named Bambi. Every day, Bambi would explore the forest, making new friends
and discovering the wonders of nature. One sunny morning, while wandering near a sparkling stream, Bambi
met a wise old turtle named Shelly. Shelly shared many stories about the forest and taught Bambi valuable
lessons about life.

Despite Shelly's advice to stay cautious, Bambi's curiosity often led him into tricky situations. One day, Bambi
strayed too far from home and found himself lost. Frightened and alone, he remembered Shelly's teachings
and stayed calm. Using his keen senses, Bambi retraced his steps and eventually found his way back to his
family, learning the importance of caution and the value of wisdom.

A slice of heaven on the ground.
