Read the passage, then answer.
Meera lived in a small village with a big mango tree behind her house. Every morning she fed grains to the sparrows near the well. One day, her friend Kabir ran to her with worried eyes. His little kitten, Motu, had climbed high into the mango tree and would not come down. Meera thought for a moment. She placed a bowl of warm milk at the bottom of the tree. Then the two children sat quietly and waited. Soon Motu smelled the milk. Slowly, paw by paw, the kitten climbed down the rough trunk and began to drink. Kabir hugged Meera and thanked her. Meera smiled and said that being patient often works better than shouting. That evening, Kabir shared sweet mangoes with her under the same tree. The sparrows chirped above them, and the village grew calm as the sun went down. Both children felt happy and proud.
