The Flagman

The man who lives across the road from me has a flagpole in his front yard.  
He has lots of different flags, I always look to see which one is flying.

He has one with a bright yellow sun on it and he puts it up on hot summer days.  
He put it up on a dark day in the middle of winter a couple of years ago.
It didn’t make me feel any different and he hasn’t done it again.  
Some of his flags advertise things, some have pictures like the one with the sun,
and some are just designs. He loves them all.

He’s not a young man, and he tripped one day, stumbled
forward and fell against the wall of his house.  
The next thing I knew, he had his arm in plaster and in a sling.
The day after that I was surprised to see that his flag
was not at the top of the flagpole.  Flying a flag low means someone has died.
I asked him who it was. It was his turn to be surprised - he didn’t know what
I was talking about.

I pointed up at the flag.  He seemed quite upset
. He undid the rope and awkwardly tugged on it, to raise the flag higher.
 I took a step forward and tugged it with him. It went to the top and he
fastened the rope firmly at the bottom of the pole.

a.  Who is the first up in the morning, the man across the road or the writer?
 Why do you say that?

It think it is the man across the road because he puts up the flag.I say this because
is always puts up the flag in the morning

b.  Why do you think he flew the flag with the sun on it in the middle of winter?
So that it can remind people that the day would be good.

c.  Had someone died?  Why do you say that?No.
I say no because that text says that he didn’t know that  his flag was like that.

d.  Why did the writer help the man raise the flag higher?

Because no one passed away.
