Question

Read the following passages and answer the questions that follow each.
The house—the only one in the entire valley-sat on the crest of a low hill. From this
height one could see the river and the field of ripe corn dotted with the flowers that
always promised a good harvest. The only thing the earth needed was a downpour or at
least a shower. Throughout the morning Lencho—who knew his fields intimately–had
done nothing else but see the sky towards the north-east.
"Now we're really going to get some water, woman."
The woman, who was preparing supper, replied: "Yes, God willing."
The older boys were working in the field, while the smaller ones were playing near
the house until the woman called to them all: “Come for dinner". It was during the meal
that, just as Lencho had predicted, big drops of rain began to fall. In the north-east
huge mountains of clouds could be seen approaching. The air was as fresh and sweet.
The man went out for no other reason than to have the pleasure of feeling the rain on
his body, and when he returned he exclaimed, "These aren't raindrops falling from the
sky, they are new coins. The big drops are ten cent pieces and the little ones are fives”.
