Para-jumble (fable sequence): Arrange the sentences to narrate how the ant fell into the river and who noticed it first. S1 = "Once upon a time an ant lived on the bank of river." S6 = "She was touched." Between S1 and S6, put the events in natural story order: P = "The dove saw the ant struggling in water in a helpless condition." Q = "All its efforts to come up is failed." R = "One day it suddenly slipped in to water." S = "A dove lived in the tree on the bank not far from the spot." Choose the correct sequence of P–Q–R–S that completes the paragraph.
