52. Read the following poem carefully and then answer, in full sentence, the questions that follow:

I've been buried,
Several times,
My stem is cut,
In small pieces,
And buried into shallow graves.

Two feet apart.
My body parts are placed.
To cover a length and a width of a field,
In a week's time, I rise from the dead,
With my delicate leaves bending for the wind to pass.

My stem growing straight into space.
My feet swell where I was buried.
Good news to them, the farmers,
As they dig out my feet,
Peel, cut and boil them.

With delicious sauce,
My feet are eaten,
With fried feet the young chatas they eat,
Chips, chips, chips,
Delicious cassava chips!

One Saturday, I went with my mother to Biraga market which is one of the biggest in our sub-county. I had a duck which uncle Opaya gave me when it was a duckling. I went to sell it so as to buy myself a pair of shoes for Christmas. Mother took a goat for sale so as to purchase various items for the big occasion.

On our way, we met farmers and traders bringing different items to the market. By ten O'clock, we had reached the market.

At the market entrance, there was a rope stretching from one side to the other. This blocked people from entering the market directly. Mother had to pay some coins to the gentleman who later allowed us in. many other people were already at the market with different commodities heaped on the ground and others were in the stalls. Some traders sang songs to attract as many customers as possible. I stood still listening and enjoying the interesting songs.

We sat down in the tree shade and waited anxiously for customers. Some customers tried to bargain but mother did not want to sell her goat for anything less than what she wanted. Later a young man bargained and offered her fifty thousand shillings which she accepted.

Sometime later, I sold my duck for fifteen thousand shillings only. We then moved through the crowd. Mother held me by the arm and we went to the place where the shoes were being sold. She helped me to make a choice. I was very happy to get my first pair of shoes in life. I then paid ten thousand shillings leaving me with a balance of five thousand.

Mother used some of her money to buy meat, plates, sugar, salt and tomatoes. She kept the remaining amount in her handbag. We then moved happily back home
