Mother lark had built ............... (a, an, the) nest amidst the corn crops of the field. She lived there with her two newborn babies. The little larks were happy in their nest. Slowly they grew................... (up, in, on) and learnt flying.  Time passed and then came the harvest season. The baby larks ..................................(are observing keenly, were keenly observing, keenly were observing) the harvest taking place in the other fields. They said to their mother, "Mom, now we should fly away from here .......................... (so, because, therefore) the farmer of this field will also be coming for reaping his crops."
The mother replied, "The farmer is not ready. We needn't fly so early."
After a few days, the farmer, with his neighbour ...( come, comes, came) in the field. He discussed about the harvest and requested him to come the next day to help him in the harvest.
The baby larks again asked, "Mom, we should fly now, ....................... (should we, didn't we, shouldn't we)?"The mother replied," No my dear, the farmer will not get his neighbour ...................... (help, helped, to help) him tomorrow in this busy harvest season. There is no need to fly."
Next day, the farmer came to his field and said to himself, "Nothing to worry, if my neighbor has not come, I ..............................(will call, would call, would have called) my  relatives  for  help."The  babies  were  anxious.  They  again  asked  their  mother
...................(that, whether, to)   it was the right time to fly. But  they.......................
......(are told, told, were told) to be patient.

A few days later, the farmer came to the farm alone with a sickle in his hand. The mother lark said to her children, "Come on my children! Let's fly from this field. Today, the farmer has decided to harvest the crop himself."
