4. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:

       The house - the only one in the entire valley - sat on the crest of a low hill. From this height one could see the river and the field of ripe  dotted with flowers that always promised a good harvest. The only thing the earth needed was a downpour or at least a shower. Throughout the morning Lencho -- who knew his friends intimately -- has done nothing else but see the sky towards the north-east.

      "Now we're really going to get some water, woman."

      The woman who was preparing supper, replied, "Yes, God willing". The older boys were working in the field, while the smallest ones were playing near the  until the woman called to them all, "Come for dinner". It was during the meal that, just as Lencho had predicted, big drops of rain began to fall. In the north-east huge mountains of clouds could be seen approaching. The air was fresh and sweet. The man went out for no other reason than to have the pleasure of feeling the rain on his body, and when he returned he exclaimed, These aren't raindrops falling from the sky, they are new coins. The big drops are ten cent pieces and the little ones are fives."
