Question 4

Read the following passage carefully and answer all the questions which follow.

My husband was a hunter and farmer. He had told me and our four children of his hunting experience. We all agreed with him that he was a brave man when he was young. But he always said,” I was a brave man and I still am. It had rained one evening. So after super that day our three boys Baba, Sule and Aminu and our only daughter, Asaana joined me in our only bedroom in the house. Later Papa Goro also came in.

Papa Goro started telling us about snakes. One day, he had to give his leg to a python to swallow up to his knee. He then cut the reptile open with his hunting knife. “Snakes,” he said” are the creatures I don’t fear at all. I’ve killed more than a hundred of them. I often catch the small ones and hold their necks tight until they die. “We were all surprise. But just before he finished the last sentence, Asaana, who was sitting nearest the bed, suddenly shot up and ran to her father shouting” snake, snake!” We were frightened.

Papa Goro, kill it! Kill it! Please, ” I shouted, drawing backwards and further away from the spot which Asaana was pointing to. Baba dashed out of the room. Just then, I turned to look at Papa Goro. There he was stood right on the bed with Asaana clinging to him. I was surprised when he shouted,” Sule, kill that snake or I am not coming down from this bed! Papa Goro was shivering all over. I could not move because our young son Aminu, was also clinging to me.

To my relief, Baba, the oldest of my children, returned with a stick. He started looking under the bed for the snake. He saw something and ready to strike. Then he lowered the stick. He stretched his hand and picked up something from under the bed. It was Papa Goro’s belt! It had fallen from the nail on which he normally hung it behind the door.

It was difficult to make Papa Goro come down from the bed. When he finally did, he was sweating all over. There was a loud silence. To end with the story, Baba asked , but Papa, if you were indeed never afraid of snakes, how could a belt have frightened you so much?” We burst into laughter.

Then he replied,” Look, it is one thing seeing a snake in the bush and another thing seeing a snake in your bedroom.! But, anyway, you didn’t hear well. I told you I used to be brave; I used not to fear snakes. Now I am old, and things have changed. I am now a retired brave man.

To this day, the children jokingly call him” Papa Goro, R.B.M.” Retired Brave Man. And he replied,” That’s me!”
