Answers
This is a question from a short story “A worn Path”.
This short story is an account of the heroism of an old woman. Her name was Phoenix Jackson. She was an old Negro woman. She started a trip for the city in the cold morning of December. She had to face many obstacles on the way.
Her body was covered with red rag. Her shoes were unlaced. Her eyes were blue and her face was wrinkled. Her cheeks are yellow and her black hair comes down up to the neck. She had to walk up and down the hill through pine and oak forest.
When she was passing a muddy track and reached the high bank, a dog suddenly appeared from a ditch. The dog started to bark at her. The old woman tried to hit the dog. She tried to hit it with a can-stick but unfortunately she herself fell down into the ditch.
