Question

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.


"Dey get id all," he said, "dey get id by advertisement, nod by
work. Dey take id away from us, who lofe our boods. Id gomes to disbresently I haf no work. Every year id gets less. You will see." And
looking at his lined face I saw things I had never noticed before, bitter

things and bitter struggle and what a lot of grey hairs there seemed
suddenly in his red beard!

As best I could, I explained the circumstances of those ill-omened
boots. But his face and voice made so deep an impression that during

the next few minutes I ordered many pairs. They lasted longer than
ever. And I was not able to go to him for nearly two years.

It was many months before my next visit to his shop. This time it
appeared to be his elder brother, handling a piece of leather.

"Well, Mr Gessler," I said, "how are you?" He came close, and

peered at me. "I am breddy well," he said slowly "but my elder brudder
is dead."

And I saw that it was indeed himself but how aged and wan! And
never before had I heard him mention his brother. Much shocked, I
murmured, "Oh! I am sorry!"

"Yes," he answered, "he was a good man, he made a good bood.
But he is dead." And he touched the top of his head, where the hair hadsuddenly gone as thin as it had been on that of his poor brother, to

indicate, I suppose, the cause of his death. "Do you wand any boods?"
And he held up the leather in his hand. "ld's a beaudiful biece."
