Read the following text carefully and answer the question no. 4 and 5:
His name was Jerry; he had been at the orphanage since he was four. I could picture him at four, with the same grave, gray-blue eyes and the same independence? No, the word that comes to me is "integrity". It is embedded on courage, but it is more than brave. It is honest, but it is more than honesty.
The axe-handle broke one day. Jerry said, the orphanage woodshop would repair it. I brought money to pay for the job and he refused it. "Ill pay for it," he said. "I brought the axe down careless." "But no one hits accurately every time," I told him. "The fault was in the handle."
It was only then that he would take the money. He was standing back of his own carelessness. He was a freewill agent and he chose to do careful work; and if he failed, he took the responsibility without subterfuge.
And he did for me the unnecessary thing, the gracious thing that we find done only by the great of heart. Things no training can teach, for they are done on the instant, with no predicated experience. He found a cubbyhole beside the fireplace that I had not noticed. There, of his own accord, he put wood, so that I might always have dry fire material ready in case of sudden wet weather. A stone was loose in the rough walk to the cabin. He dug a deeper hole and steadied it, although he came, himself, by a shortcut over the bank. I found that when I tried to return his thoughtfulness with such things as candy and apples, he was wordless. 'Thank you" was, perhaps, an expression for which he had no use, for his courtesy was instinctive. He only looked at the gift and at me, and a curtain lifted, so that I saw deeper into the clear well of his eyes and gratitude was there, and affection, soft over the firm granite of his character.
Write a summary of the above passage in your own words.
Jerry was a very good boy who had been living in the orphanage since he was four. He was honest and brave. The best word to describe his character was integrity. He refused to take the money for the repair of the axe-handle as he broke it carelessly. He only took the money when he knew that there was fault in it. He did many extra works for the convenience of the authoress. He put some dry fire material in cubbyhole so that the authoress could make fire in case of wet weather. He dug a deeper whole and steadied a loose stone an the way of the authoress. All this activities show that he loved the authoress as his mother.
