Question

Read the excerpt and answer the question.

Answer 1

When new people come into town, there are bound to be those filled with curiosity to see who this new person is. There will be people who will want to accommodate the new person and guide them to places. But this does not mean that the new people who have come to our town can be rude and unmannerly. We have as much curiosity as you and when you come into our town we hope that we can be able to accommodate you and have opportunities to meet up. But because some people who come into our town forget about good manners and show great rudeness we cannot guide you , we cannot observe you even if we wish to. That is why we have to hide behind bushes where you are going to pass. And we are to never intrude ourselves into your company because we do not wish to be met with rudeness.

The idea I think Franklin is conveying in this excerpt is that when you go into a new place into someone else’s town. Do not forget your manners and do not be rude because if those in the town are met with your rudeness they may not want to accommodate you anymore.
