Answers
Answer:
Explanation:Somebody’s mother by Mary Dow Brine is a beautiful poem depicting wonderful values of care and love for others.
An old woman wearing ragged clothes was standing at a crossing to go to the other side of the road; she was waiting for the traffic to stop so that she could safely go to the other side.
She kept waiting; but the traffic did not stop. No passer by paid heed to her need and concern. After some time a group of boys came out of the school; they were happy and noisy. Playing with the newly fallen snow, they moved past the old woman standing at the crossing.
No boy offered to help her go across the road. However, one boy noticed her and went to help her. He lovingly helped her cross the road.
As he went back to his friends he said he helped the old lady thinking someday someone would help her old mother in a similar situation when he might be far away from her.
The boy felt very contented after helping the old woman. The old woman that night prayed to God to be kind to the boy who had helped her cross the road.
