Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow : Disability refers to any kind of physical or mental incapacity that limits a person’s ability to work. Yet it is seldom that we have thanked God for the gift of Good health and well-being. The smallest actions like seeing the sunrise, brushing our teeth, popping peanuts into your mouth come so naturally and effortlessly, and yet we are never satisfied, always discontented. It is not so for the disabled. For them it requires immense concentration, effort, will power, energy and a lot of time. Despite this, it could be a long way of perfection. It takes great courage and determination to cope with disability. Give them encouragement, facilities and resources, and then watch them as they learn, earn, play, work and even start their families. Very often we find that a person lacking in one faculty is gifted in some other way. That’s nature’s way of maintaining balance.

He saw that the first mason reported for his work late, did his work halfheartedly and sluggishly enjoyed longer respite, frequently checked the time on his wrist-watch and left the work before time.

The third mason, however, would come before time, took little rest in the interval and often worked overtime. The man naturally got curious and wanted to know the three masons’ outlook towards their work. He asked them what they were doing. The first mason tapped his protruding belly with his hand and said, I am earning fuel for this belly". The second said. " I am constructing a building."
