Question

Read this excerpt from "Wiley, His Mama, and the Hairy Man" in The People Could Fly

Answer 1

Answer:

D. It is important to listen to others' advice

Explanation:

"The People Could Fly" is Virginia Hamilton's collection of folktales. These stories include supernatural tales, animal tales and African folklore tales.

They are written for children so the purpose of each of them is to teach a valuable lesson.

"Wiley, His Mama And The Hairy Man" tells the story of a boy, Wiley, who lived in a swamp with his mother. Hairy Man is a monster that lives in the swamp, and has probably eaten Wiley's father. The Hairy Man is now after Wiley, who needs his mother's help and advice to defeat the monster.

This excerpt shows how Wiley followed his mother's advice and managed to escape The Hairy Man.
