Answers
Answer:
1.Ernest grows up working the fields and playing in the woods of the valley. He becomes a quiet, strong, smart kid, although he has no formal schooling. Ernest spends a good portion of his day in respectful, almost prayerful, contemplation of the Great Stone Face. A famous merchant, Mr. Gathergold, returns to the valley, his childhood home, and raises a magnificent marble mansion. The locals believe he fulfills the prophecy, but when Ernest sees the man, he realizes that Gathergold does not truly resemble the Great Stone Face. To Ernest, Gathergold's face is too sordid and cunning to match the visage in the mountainside.
As an adult, Ernest witnesses another possible candidate return to the valley. This one, a decorated military commander, also lifts the hopes of the valley's inhabitants. While Ernest sees that he has some admirable qualities, Old Blood-and-Thunder fails to capture the benevolence in the gaze of the Great Stone Face. Ernest expects that the prophesied man will be a man of peace, not war. Again, Ernest is disappointed.
Ernest still lived in his native valley. He was very simple and kind-hearted man. He always worked for the noble cause and betterment of the world. He was rich in thought and humble for the ordinary people.
2. With the passage of time, he became old. He became famous all over the world due to his thoughts. People came from a distant place to meet and see him. A new poet grew up on earth while Earnest ways growing old.
The poet was a native of Ernest valley and stayed miles away from the valley for a long time. The poet heard about Ernest’s character.
One day, he came to meet him at his door. Ernest was reading a book and glancing lovingly at the mountain from time to time. The poet stayed at Ernest’s home for a night.
The Great Stone Face looked like the poet. But the poet felt that Ernest is kind, gentle and wise. Ernest used to talk with his neighbor every evening. The poet felt that Ernest’s poetry is of the nobler kind than his own poems. Just then the poet saw Great Stone Face.
He declared that Ernest’s face resembles with a great stone face and everyone in the village agrees with him. Ernest still hopes that someone wiser than him would appear sometime, bearing a resemblance to the Great Stone Face.
