Answer:
The last foot (the anceps) always consists of two syllables so mark it so immediately. You can
regard the very last syllable as an unknown vowel length and mark it as an X (it will normally be
pronounced long no matter what)
2. The second to last foot is almost always a dactyl so mark it so immediately
3. The first syllable of every line of poetry is long no-matter-what so mark it so immediately.
4. The thesis (first syllable) of a foot is always long
5. The arsis (the second half) of a foot will either be one long or two shorts: there can be no
mixing and matching in the second half of the foot

Answer:
Manuel returns home to find that his mother has suffered a stroke.
Explanation:
The short story "Manuel and the Magic Dox" by Ekaterina Sedia tells the fairytale of a young boy named Manuel and his friendship with a red fox. The story deals with legends and keeping alive one's beliefs, the traditions. The story also deals with the displacement of the natives and the influence of the European way of living.
In the story, Manuel encountered a fox on his way back home, by following a trail left by the fox prints. He gave the small red fox his snacks that Uncle Tobi had prepared for him. Once he got back home, he found that his mother had suffered a stroke and that he needed to now take care of her and not go to school.
So, the second thing that happened in the story is that Manuel returned home to find his mother has suffered a stroke.
