I. Read the following text and answer the question below:

One day, the hyena fell into a well. After vain attempts (essais) to get back up hungry and tired , she started to ell (hurler) "help !help !".

Monkey who was playing on the branches of a tree heard the yelling. Got down and went toward the well. Hey, hyena , what are you doing in the well ? ''asked the monkey. The hyena, with a pitiful tone, answered, "I fell here two days ago, help me get out, I beg of you".

How would I help you ? "asked the monkey. I would hold onto your tail" replied the hyena.

The generous monkey approached the well and lowered his tail to the hyena. The survivor then said to the monkey, "Dear friend, I am so tired. Would you please carry me on your back? The monkey accepted without hesitation. The hyena got the back of her saver and said to him"Dear friend I'm hungry, I'm going to eat you”. The monkey, distraught leperdu, eyaré), started to yell. A hare who was walking nearby came to help ''Help ! Monkey, why are you yelling ?" The monkey, still trembling, explained to the hare his story. The sly hare said to hyena" Let the monkey go and stand where you were at, so I can judge the situation ." The hyena, foolish as usual, fell again in the well to wait for judgment. The monkey and the hare, with irony, said "goodbye to the hyena. (Don't give back the bad to those who have heen good.)
