Read the poem below and answer questions 6 to 8

To everyone her ear she lend,
But to nobody her heart.
She wondered how to change that,
But she didn't know where to start,

She would smile more to herself,
Than the world would ever see,
For the only time her smile was real,
Was only in her own company.

People didn't know how she felt
They never even ever asked,
It seemed she had fooled them all,
They couldn't see past her mask at all,

If they were to be with her at dusk.
When the world was going to sleep,
Maybe she would let them read,
Through the secrets that she kept,

But when she looks keenly around,
Nobody was ever there not a sound,
And she realizes why she hides her heart,
Is because no-one really cares.

G5EngT1TW23003P2
There was once a young shepherd who tended his sheep at the foot of a mountain near a dark forest. It was rather lonely for him all day, so he thought upon a plan by which he could get a little company and some excitement. He rushed down towards the village calling out "Wolf, Wolf," and the villagers came out to meet him, and some of them stayed with him for a  considerable time but there was no wolf. This pleased the boy so much that a few days later, he tried the same trick, and again the villagers came to his help but they saw no wolf. Shortly after this, a wolf actually came out from the forest. The boy of course cried out "Wolf, Wolf," louder than before.
