Read the following passage and answer the questions on it.
One day, Yele and two other friends were returning from the bush. They came to a place where a woman was gathering firewood. She was not very old but she looked poor. Her dress was torn here and there. Yele watched this old woman and felt sorry for her. He had not seen her before.
His two other friends knew her very well. Yele stopped to watch this woman. His friends said to him, "Leave this woman alone.' Yele followed them but he was thinking of the woman. He wanted to talk to her and help her. When they reached the town, Yele spoke to his friends, "Go home, I am going out soon with Dele. I'll see you tonight."
As soon as his friends had gone home, Yele ran back to see the poor woman. She had tied up her firewood and was trying to lift it. But she could not because as she bent down to pick the firewood, she fell down. She tried again.
"Stop it!" Yele screamed. "I will help you." He picked up the firewood and placed it on his head. "Thank you, my son. May God bless you," said the woman.
