B. Answer the questions.
There once lived an old man in a little house. A small vegetable garden was not far away from it. He was old but worked in the fields every day. Often he came home very tired and weak.
His grandchildren, Mary and Jane, lived with him, but they were too young to work in the fields. In winter, they were too poor to buy much wood to make a fire. So they sat together to keep warm. Sometimes their grandfather told them a funny story or taught them to sing a Christmas song.
He often talked to them about their father, who had gone to sea, or about their mother, who was in a grave(墓地). Every night he prayed that God would bring back their father safely.
On a cold, windy night, they heard a knock at the door. The little girls ran and opened it. Oh, they were surprised that their father was standing at the door! He would never leave them because he had made enough money by working on a fishing ship at sea.
From then on, 6.
