9. Read the following passage from "The Swimming Contest."
With a sigh my mother replied, "My husband's no longer alive, either. But his house and his father's house aren't here; everything remained over there, abroad, and I live in a rented apartment summer and winter."
"That's because you are newcomers, immigrants," the old lady said. "But with the
help of God you'll thrive and build yourselves houses. You're hard-working people

My mother caught the hint and threw her a grateful look...
Placing her hand on my head, the old lady said, "It all depends on the individual;
everyone who wants peace will live in peace."
At that moment the young girl appeared in the doorway.
