Question

It was supper time when Reuben got home. His father sat at the big kitchen table, working on a
fishing net. Dora was at the black Kitchen range, ready to serve dinner as Reuben took his place at the
table.
He looked at his mother and smiled. Sunlight from the window gilded her shoulder- length blond
hair. Five feet three, slim and beautiful, she was the centre of the home, the glue that held it together.
Her chores were never-ending. Sewing clothes for her family on the old Singer treadle machine,
cooking meals and baking bread, planting a vegetable garden, milking the goats and scrubbing soiled
clothes on a washboard. But she was happy. Her family and their well-being were her highest priority.
Every day after chores were and school, Reuben scoured the town, collecting the burlap nail bags.
On the day the two-room schoolhouse closed for the summer no student was more delighted than
Reuben. Now he would have more time to devote to his mission.
All summer long, despite extra chores at home - weeding and watering the garden, cutting wood and
fetching water-Reuben kept to his secret task.
