VII.Bonus Questions: Reading Comprehension (20%)
A young American teaching at Constantinople hurriedly gave a small
coin to a beggar when crossing the bridge into the business section of the
city. That evening she discovered that the gift had been a tiby gold piece,
equivalent to five dollars, instead of the two-cent copper coin she had in-
tended to bestow. She told a friend of the mistake, saying, "I still have
much to learn about Turkish currency."
"And much to learn about beggars, too," was the reply. "Here beggars buy
a license for a station on that bridge and thus acquire an ample income.
The man you described is an honest beggar of my acquaintance. He would
dislike keeping an unintended gift. May I, as interperter, arrange an inter-
view for the return of your coin?"
The appointment made, the teacher was conducted by servants through
a beautiful entrance to the presence of the master. Clothed in Oriental
garments of rich material, the beggar waited. Hearing the story, he com-
manded a man to bring his money chest. With deliberation he counted and
