The two sides, separated by a great cliff (悬崖), were like night and day. The good side was watered by rivers and was filled with trees and abundant food, while on the wrong side there was hardly any water or plants, and wild beasts crowded together. The Mokoko had the misfortune of having always lived there, with no way to cross to the other side. Their life was hard and they lived in permanent terror of the beasts.Along the edge of the cliff separating the two sides, a skinny but strong tree grew, with which they could build two poles. There was no doubt that the tribe would choose the great chief and doctor to use the poles. But when the two of them were given their chance to make the jump, they didnt dare to. They thought that the pole could break or it would not be long enough. They put so much energy into these thoughts that they gave in.But into that tribe were born Nam and Ariki, a pair of young hearts. One day, they decided to take up the poles.

But when they landed on the other side, they thought the jump really hadnt been so bad after all.1、What situation were the Mokoko faced with?AThey lived a difficult life without fearing the beasts.BThey suffered a lot due to the terrible environment.CThey had easy access to the good side.DThey were surrounded by trees and rivers.2、How did the chief and doctor feel when they wer
