Read “A Pool near Rajpur” and answer questions 1 to 7.

　　Ranji had been less than a month in Rajpur when he discovered the pool in the forest. It was the height of the summer, and his school had not yet opened; and, having as yet made no friends in this town, he wandered about a good deal by himself into the hills and forests that stretched away interminably on all sides. It was hot, very hot, at that time of the year, and Ranji walked about in his vest and shorts, his brown feet white with the chalky dust that flew up from the ground. The earth was parched, the grass brown, the trees listless, hardly stirring, waiting for a cool wind or a refreshing shower of rain.

　　It was on such a day－a hot, tired day -that Ranji found the pool in the forest. The water had a gentle translucency, and you could see the smooth round pebbles at the bottom of the pool. A small stream emerged from a cluster of rocks to feed the pool. During the monsoon, this stream would be a rushing torrent, cascading down from the hills, but during the summer it was barely a trickle. The rocks, however, held the water in the pool, and it did not dry up like the pools in the plains.

　　When Ranji saw the pool, he did not hesitate to get into it. He had often gone swimming, alone or with friends, when he had lived with his parents in a thirsty town in the middle of the Rajputana desert. There, he had known only sticky, muddy pools, where buffaloes wallowed and women washed clothes. He had never seen a pool like this－so clean and cold and inviting.

[　　]
