COMPREHENSION
Passage
In Delhi, it
was forbidden by the law, at one time, to take a Dog into a public vehicle. One
day a lady, accompanied by a pet dog, entered a bus. Wishing to evade the law,
she placed her tiny dog in her dress pocket. It so happened that the person
next to this lady was a pick pocket; and during the journey he carefully
placed his hand into her pocket in search of her purse. Great was the horror to
find instead a pair of sharp teeth inserted into his fingers. His exclamation
of pain and surprise drew the attention of other passengers to him.
