What evidence from "the storyteller” supports the theme that pride goes before a fall? select two options.
“‘it’s a very difficult thing to tell stories that children can both understand and appreciate,’ she said stiffly.”
“‘once upon a time,’ began the bachelor, ‘there was a little girl called bertha, who was extraordinarily good.’ “the children’s momentarily-aroused interest began at once to flicker; all stories seemed dreadfully alike, no matter who told them.”
“‘was she pretty? ’ asked the bigger of the small girls. “‘not as pretty as any of you,’ said the bachelor, ‘but she was horribly good.’ “there was a wave of reaction in favour of the story; the word horrible in connection with goodness was a novelty that commended itself. it seemed to introduce a ring of truth that was absent from the aunt’s tales of infant life.”
“‘why weren’t there any flowers? ’ “‘because the pigs had eaten them all,’ said the bachelor promptly. ‘the gardeners had told the prince that you couldn’t have pigs and flowers, so he decided to have pigs and no flowers.’”
“‘unhappy woman! ’ he observed to himself as he walked down the platform of templecombe station; ‘for the next six months or so those children will assail her in public with demands for an improper story! ’”

Which two elements does this excerpt from a christmas carol by charles dickens contain? "a small matter," said the ghost, “to make these silly folks so full of gratitude." "small! " echoed scrooge. the spirit signed to him to listen to the two apprentices, who were pouring out their hearts in praise of fezziwig: and when he had done so, said, "why! is it not? he has spent but a few pounds of your mortal money: three or four perhaps. is that so much that he deserves this praise? " "it isn’t that," said scrooge, heated by the remark, and speaking unconsciously like his former, not his latter, self. "it isn't that, spirit. he has the power to render us happy or unhappy; to make our service light or burdensome; a pleasure or a toil. say that his power lies in words and looks; in things so slight and insignificant that it is impossible to add and count ’em up: what then? the happiness he gives, is quite as great as if it cost a fortune." he felt the spirit's glance, and stopped. "what is the matter? " asked the ghost. "nothing particular," said scrooge. "something, i think? " the ghost insisted. "no," said scrooge, "no. i should like to be able to say a word or two to my clerk just now. that's all."
