a) The young man who stayed at home in the ancient days became prosperous owning four goats and a sow.
b) 'This' refers to the proverb 'A rolling stone gathers no moss'.
c) Geologists say that as a stone rolls over and over, the moss cannot get stuck to it.
Explanation:
- We have to answer the questions which are based on the lesson 'A Rolling Stone Gathers No Moss'.
- a) In the lesson they say that if a young man stays at home and works over the fields and land, with his oxen, he would become better off by owning a property, 4 goats and a sowing land.
- b) 'This' refers to the proverb as well as the name of the lesson 'A Rolling Stone Gathers No Moss'. It indicates the young man who wander without staying in a specific place. Those who are not committed and steady end up as cannibals or get affected with rheumatism in their later years.
- c) Geologists say that a Rolling Stone Gathers No Moss, based on scientific reasons. As a stone rolls over and over it does not stay in a place. Only if there is a stay, does the moss stick and grow over. So a rolling stone cannot have moss on itself.
