Read the excerpts below and answer the questions that follow. An old monarch reigned in a small kingdom. The ruler had three adult sons. Because he
loved his three sons equally, the monarch could not decide which one would take his place
on the throne. His kingdom and wealth were too small to divide among the princes. Only
one son would be able to reign.
The monarch thought about how he would select one son to lead the kingdom. He
decided he would assign each of them a task to perform, and whichever prince was the
most successful would get the kingdom as his reward.
