Written by Robert Muponde Illustrated by Elizabeth Sparg Early one morning Duma knocked on her grandmother’s door. Today was Duma’s birthday and Grandmother had made her a red woollen hat as a gift. Duma was very excited. A mean-looking hyena opened the door. “Who are you? Where is Grandmother?” asked Duma. “I am Chidhange, your grandmother’s brother,” snarled the hyena. “I ran away a long time ago when she called me a thief and a scavenger. I have come back to show her I am neither.” ENG1517 OCTOBER 2024 4 “Where is Grandmother?” Duma asked again. She was trembling. “She is here. And she is not here,” said Chidhange, rubbing his full tummy. Chidhange burped. He burped a lot of red wool. “Oh no!” thought Duma. “He’s eaten Grandmother!” She ran away into the bush behind Grandmother’s house. Chidhange chased after her. Duma was very frightened. “But Grandmother is here! She is burning the old grass and leaves.” When Chidhange saw Grandmother, he got such a fright, he ran right into the fire. “What a silly hyena,” laughed Grandmother. Chidhange had mistaken Duma’s gift, hidden under the blankets, for Grandmother. Now he had a belly full of wool and a very sore bottom! He ran away and he was never seen again. Question 1.1. (5 marks) Is the content genre of Text A a fable or fairy tale? Provide two reasons for your answer. Question 1.2. (10 marks) Freudian therapists such as Bruno Bettelheim write that although fairy tales often feature frightening elements, such as child-eating witches or horrible stepsisters, they also deal with problems very relevant to children such as fear of abandonment by parents or sibling rivalry. Read through Text A and discuss what fears or problems relevant to children are represented in the story. Then discuss whether, in your opinion, the story effectively addresses this fear or problem. Provide reasons for your answer based on what happens in the story. ENG1517 OCTOBER 2024 5 Question 1.3.

There once was a king named Midas who did a good deed for a satyr — a spirit of nature. Dionysus, the god of wine, then granted him a wish. ENG1517 OCTOBER 2024 6 For his wish, Midas asked that whatever he touched would turn to gold. Despite Dionysus’ efforts to prevent it, Midas pleaded that this was a fantastic wish, so it was bestowed. Excited about his newly-earned powers, Midas started touching all kinds of things, turning each item into pure gold. But soon, Midas became hungry. As he picked up a piece of food, he found he couldn’t eat it. It had turned to gold in his hand. Hungry, Midas groaned, “I’ll starve! Perhaps this was not such an excellent wish after all!” Seeing his dismay, Midas’ beloved daughter threw her arms around him to comfort him, and she, too, turned to gold. “The golden touch is no blessing,” Midas cried. TEXT C The Golden Touch of King Midas A poem for kids by Paul Perro One day King Midas, out walking, Met the god Dionysus, Who told Midas there was something He wanted to discuss.
