COMPREHENSION
3. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follows.
As a little child, I used to admire the strength and courage with which my grandfather carried out the difficult task of tilling the farm. Most surprising was the fact that he usually slept on his farm and even worked there on such an important day as the first day of the year, but the majority of his counterparts observed theirs with eating and drinking.
For the fact that I hated farm work, my grandfather has always wanted to deal with, me at the slightest opportunity. So, a day came when I had responded to his call for assistance in harvesting the tubers of yams on his farm. Ignorantly, I had abandoned that task as soon as we arrived at the farm and went on a hunting game of birds. As I attempted to catch each bird, it would sing melodiously and off it flew to another tree.
I was deriving great pleasure from my hide and seek game with the birds, but unknown to me, I went further into the bush with each step I took. Before I could realize the distance I had covered and trace my way back to the farm, darkness suddenly arrived like a thief.
