2 © UCLES 2015 9687/05/O/N/15 Translate into Hindi: It was a Saturday morning and Mrs Patel was going to the local market to buy some fruit and vegetables for the evening meal. She took her five-year-old son, Bhavesh, with her. Mrs Patel liked to take her time when she was shopping. She would look at the goods on offer at every stall and compare the prices and the quality of the fruit and vegetables on sale. Bhavesh soon became bored with all the walking about and started to feel hungry. He hoped that his mother would buy some fruit soon so that he could have a piece to eat. While Mrs Patel was inspecting some watermelons, Bhavesh decided to play a trick on her. He went to hide behind a tall pile of fruit on the stall. Unfortunately, on his way, he tripped over an empty banana box and fell into the pile of fruit, which collapsed on top of him. Suddenly, Bhavesh had a huge half watermelon sitting on his head like a hat, and there were pieces of juicy watermelon all over his face. The stall keeper, who at first was very angry, burst out laughing on seeing how funny Bhavesh looked. [40] … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …
