Ravi went to the party

Directions: Read the passage and answer the question that follows.

Ravi Shankar has a large circle of friends and is very popular at parties. Everybody admires him for his fine sense of humour—everybody, that is except his six-year old daughter, Meenakshi. Recently one of Ravi’s friends asked him to make a speech at a reception. This is the sort of thing that Ravi loves. He prepared the speech carefully and went to the party with Meenakshi. He had included a large number of funny stories in the speech and, of course it was a great success. As soon as he had finished, Meenakshi told him she wanted to go home. Ravi was a little disappointed by this but he did as his daughter asked. On the way home, he asked Meenakshi if she had enjoyed the speech. To his surprise, she said she had not. Ravi asked why this was so and she told him that she did not like to see so many people laughing at him.
