Answer:
He believes that all living things are important.
Explanation:
According to the excerpt from "Birdfoot's Grampa" by Joseph Bruchae, the author speaks about "leathery hands full of wet brown life" that are knee-deep in the summer grass to which the narrator smiled and said that they have places to go too.
When the author says "they have places to go to too", he means that he believes that all living things are important.
5/9 + 1/3
5/9 + 3/9 --> Find common denominator
8/9 --> add numerators
He appears to be crafty when, which I assume is forgiving men, as it says, "He forgave sins easily...hoped to gain a little money...". And based on his profession, it seems inappropriate to [hang around those living in slum] and know all the taverns, inkeepers and barmaids. Also, when it says he arranged many women's marriages, it seems like he was somewhat romantically involved which is probably why he was so well loved. I mean, the author chose to only include many young women into the phrase. Overall, I believe the friar serves himself.
