Question

what do you think did Patrick's homework........ the little man, or Patrick himself¿

Answer 1

Patrick himself did his homework. The reason behind this is the elf made Patrick to read many books. So now Patrick was very sure about his subject. And this made him to change his character.

Answer 2

$<p style="color:cyan;font-family:cursive;background:black;font size:40px;"> It is Patrick who helped the elf with books and meanings. The elf did not do the homework.It is Patrick who finally gathered the determination to work hard regularly and do his homework. Self help is the best help </p>$
