Kisirusiru bought the needle and put it in the pocket of his shirt.  \nAs he was going home, he found boys playing football and joined them. The needle  \nfell out of his pocket and got lost.  \nWhen he reached home he told his mother what had happened.  \n“My child,” said his mother,“next time put the needle on a piece of paper.”  \n“Yes mother, I understand,” replied Kisirusiru.  \nThe next day, the boy picked up a pot to go and fetch water. He remembered what his mother said, and wrapped the pot in apiece of paper to carry it back home.  \nBut on the way the paper got torn and the pot fell down and broke into pieces,  \nspilling the water on the ground.  \nWhen he got home, his mother patiently explained,“My child, next time put the pot on your head. Then you’ll be able to carry it without spilling.”  \n“Yes mother, I understand,” said Kisirusiru.  \nThe following day, Kisirusiru’s father told him to take the goats out to graze. He remembered what his mother had said, and put the goat on his head.  \nThe goat kicked and scratched Kisirusiru’s head. Soon blood was pouring down his face.“When will you stop your stupidity?” said his father, exasperated.  \n“Goats are tied and pulled with ropes! If you can’t behave properly, you’ll have to leave this house.”","cbCaihUq5gPQBsSO","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihUq5gPQBsSO","pdf",12203530,2,18,"English","en",105,"# Story of Kisirusiru\n## Needle lost after playing football\n## Pot breaks after paper tears\n## Goat incident and father’s warning","[{\"question\":\"Why does Kisirusiru start needing to mend his shirt?\",\"answer\":\"A goat’s horn tears his shirt when he is taking the goats out, so his mother sends him to buy a needle.\"},{\"question\":\"What lesson does Kisirusiru’s mother teach him after the needle is lost?\",\"answer\":\"She tells him that next time he should put the needle on a piece of paper, instead of keeping it loose in his pocket.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the story end regarding Kisirusiru’s behavior?\",\"answer\":\"When he tries to carry a goat in an unsafe way and gets hurt, his father grows exasperated and warns him that if he cannot behave properly, he must leave the house.\"}]",1784291606,28,{"code":4,"msg":30,"data":31},"ok",{"site_id":24,"language":23,"slug":32,"title":13,"keywords":33,"description":14,"schema_data":34,"social_meta":85,"head_meta":87,"extra_data":89,"updated_unix":27},"kisirusiru-the-foolish-one","",{"@graph":35,"@context":84},[36,52,67],{"@type":37,"itemListElement":38},"BreadcrumbList",[39,43,46,49],{"item":40,"name":41,"@type":42,"position":11},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":44,"name":45,"@type":42,"position":20},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",{"item":47,"name":12,"@type":42,"position":48},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-novel/",3,{"item":50,"name":13,"@type":42,"position":51},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/kisirusiru-the-foolish-one/90216/",4,{"url":50,"name":13,"@type":53,"author":54,"headline":13,"publisher":56,"fileFormat":59,"inLanguage":23,"description":14,"dateModified":60,"datePublished":61,"encodingFormat":59,"isAccessibleForFree":62,"interactionStatistic":63},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":55},"Person",{"url":40,"name":57,"@type":58},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-07-26","2026-07-17",true,{"@type":64,"interactionType":65,"userInteractionCount":20},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":66},"ViewAction",{"@type":68,"mainEntity":69},"FAQPage",[70,76,80],{"name":71,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":73},"Why does Kisirusiru start needing to mend his shirt?","Question",{"text":74,"@type":75},"A goat’s horn tears his shirt when he is taking the goats out, so his mother sends him to buy a needle.","Answer",{"name":77,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":78},"What lesson does Kisirusiru’s mother teach him after the needle is lost?",{"text":79,"@type":75},"She tells him that next time he should put the needle on a piece of paper, instead of keeping it loose in his pocket.",{"name":81,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":82},"How does the story end regarding Kisirusiru’s behavior?",{"text":83,"@type":75},"When he tries to carry a goat in an unsafe way and gets hurt, his father grows exasperated and warns him that if he cannot behave properly, he must leave the house.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":50,"og:type":86,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":57,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":88,"canonical":50},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":24},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":91},[92,95,99,103,108,113,118,123,128,131,135],{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":93,"slug":94},90,"story-novel",{"id":20,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":96,"show_sort_weight":97,"slug":98},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":51,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":100,"show_sort_weight":101,"slug":102},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":104,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":105,"show_sort_weight":106,"slug":107},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":109,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":110,"show_sort_weight":111,"slug":112},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":114,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":115,"show_sort_weight":116,"slug":117},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":119,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":120,"show_sort_weight":121,"slug":122},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":124,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":125,"show_sort_weight":126,"slug":127},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":126,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":129,"show_sort_weight":126,"slug":130},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":132,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":133,"show_sort_weight":132,"slug":134},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":136,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":137,"show_sort_weight":104,"slug":138},19,"General","general"]
