Question

There were a family of nine: the father, the mother, two boys and five girls. The father worked as a kitchen cleaner at a local school and the rest of the family did the same job-----clean people’s yards. 1.

Then one day, the father lost his job at the school. He asked me if I could allow him to clean my yard. 2. He and his family came to our house three times a week to clean the yard.

One Sunday morning, the father suffered a stroke and died in the hospital two days later. The poor family had lost their main bread-winner. The eldest boy had just completed high school and was getting ready to go to college. 3.

For the following years, Andrew, my husband and I did all our best to help make sure the family got their education, and provided some daily needs, like clothes.

4. . They didn’t have a toilet in their home! Imagine! A mother, a fifteen-year-old girl, and four smaller children without a toilet or bathroom!

The next morning, my friend Peter came to my house. Then I told him I wanted to do something for the poor family. As a helpful man, he promised to offer some money. So together we built a bathroom and a toilet for this family in three days5. . And we felt happy, too.

A. Clearly, they lived a poor life.

B. The others were just little kids

C. Realizing his situation, I offered him the job at once.
