Question

Read passage and answer the questions that follow.



One of his memories was of his father bending down from his great height to sweep him up into the
aur. up he went gasping and laughing with delight. He could look down on nis mothers upturned
race as she watched, laughing with them and at the thick stock of his father's black hair and at his
white teeth.

Then he would come down shreking happily, but he was never afraid, not with his father's hand
holding him. No one in the world was as big or as wise as his father.
His father moved the heavy wooden cupboard across the room. He watched while they guided it
into its new position and he saw the difference in their hands as they rested, side by side. His
mother's hands were white and slim and delicate, his father's large and square and strong. And then
he went to school. And on the playground, he learned how to wrestle and shout, how to hold back
tears. And still he grew-taller, slimmer and stronger.
