COMPREHENSION PASSAGE 4 BS 5 AND 6

Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follows:

One day a poor fisherman went fishing and caught nothing. He was just about to go home when he felt the net suddenly became heavy. He thought he had caught a large fish. But when he dragged it on the land, he found only a heavy copper pot sealed with lead. He took it and feeling sure it contained something valuable, he took his knife ,cut the lead top and turned it upside down. For a moment nothing came out ; and then it started to smoke, and this smoke slowly rose right up to the sky like a thick fog. It suddenly turned into a huge genie.

The genie told the fisherman to bow down , so he could kill him. The fisherman broke into tears and cried loudly; he told the genie ," have you forgotten that I set you free?' . The genie responded , "yes but I have sworn to kill you". I am a spirit that rebelled against the creator and to punish me he shut me up in this copper pot. During the first century of my captivity, I swore to make anyone who freed me rich. During the second century, I swore I would grant him any three things. But after these centuries, in anger I swore to kill anyone who freed me without mercy'.
     
I know I will surely die today. Said the fisherman, but before I die swear that you really were in that pot. It is too small to hold even your little finger. Unless I see it, I shall not believe it.'
' See then and believe ' said the genie.
He slowly changed back into smoke and entered the pot. The fisherman immediately put back the lead cover and threw it into the sea.
