“and the eldest magician said, ‘how wise are little children who speak truth! now i know where pau amma went. give me the paddle! ’”
"so he took the paddle; but there was no need to paddle, for the water flowed steadily past all the islands till they came to the place called pusat tasek—the heart of the sea—where the great hollow is that leads down to the heart of the world, and in that hollow grows the wonderful tree, pauh janggi, that bears the magic twin nuts. then the eldest magician slid his arm up to the shoulder through the deep warm water, and under the roots of the wonderful tree he touched the broad back of pau amma the crab.”
“and pau amma, deep down below, answered, ‘once a day and once a night i go out to look for my food. once a day and once a night i return. leave me alone.’”
"then the eldest magician said, ‘listen, pau amma. when you go out from your cave the waters of the sea pour down into pusat tasek, and all the beaches of all the islands are left bare, and the little fish die, and raja moyang kaban, the king of the elephants, his legs are made muddy. when you come back and sit in pusat tasek, the waters of the sea rise, and half the little islands are drowned, and the man’s house is flooded, and raja abdullah, the king of the crocodiles, his mouth is filled with the salt water.’”

Explanation:

These are the sentences that best demonstrate the author's reason for writing. In this excerpt, it is likely that the author is interested in teaching children a lesson. Educating the community is one of the most important tasks of myths and stories. Therefore, it is likely that the author wanted children to learn the value of being quiet ("How wise are little children who see and are silent!") and the value of being honest ("How wise are little children who speak truth!").

x=4, y=4

step-by-step explanation:

y=2x-4;

x+2y=12

we can use substitution since the first equation is solved for y

where ever you see y in the second equation, replace it with 2x-4

x + 2(2x-4) = 12

distribute the 2

x+4x-8 = 12

combine like terms

5x-8=12

add 8 to each side

5x-8+8=12+8

5x=20

divide by 5

5x/5 = 20/5

x =4

we still need to solve for y

y = 2x-4

we know x =4

y = 2(4) -4

y = 8-4

y=4

the noun in this is person
