Answer:
the ancient tale
Explanation:
In this poem, the Swan is a metaphor for the spiritual pursuit of one who treads the path of self-realization. The metaphor refers to the ability of the bird to move between different planes of reality (earth, water, air) without clinging to any of them.
In the poem Kabir indicates a place where the swan can be free of doubt and sadness, this place would be the heaven that the author compares with an old tale in the passage:
"There, woods flourish in everlasting spring,
And its fragrance makes us move forward more and more.
Immersed in it, the heart, like a bee, was inebriated.
Immense in her, she no longer wants any joy"

Answer and Explanation: The statement "If you know your pappy did something, you know you can do something too." was made in a bid to show Greg that through hard work, anything in life can be accomplished. This is very significant to Greg because his father was already an accomplished postal worker. And by the statement, Lemon Brown means that his son Jesse was very proud that his father was a famous Blues player, and in relation to this also that he could do anything also that he set his mind to. That would be a way of sharing his successes with his son.
This is a subjective question, so there are certainly no "right" answers. Here are some close-examination strategies:
- Read the text through quickly, and then re-read more slowly until you feel that you understand what the text's purpose is and how each sentence contributes to a greater understanding.
- Highlight key words or phrases that show what the text's theme/topic/focus is.
- Examine the way information is presented. Is it scholarly, humorous, uncertain, etc?
- Is the text part of a larger work? If so, why is this excerpt significant? If not, then why is it meaningful standing alone?
- Research the author/person who created the text. Find out what drove them to write it or what they were trying to do.
- Is there a specific audience that the text is intended for? This relates to prior questions, but you could go deeper as well and look at how the text makes you feel, or whether you have learned a new way of thinking about something.
You can learn a lot by examining a text from different perspectives, including the typical characteristics of-- who, what, when, where, why, how?
