51. Read the passage below and then answer, in full sentences, the questions that follow.

Jemba lived with his grandmother in a small village near Iganga. Every morning he woke up early, swept the compound and fetched water from the borehole before going to school. His grandmother was old and could not walk far, so Jemba did most of the work at home.

One afternoon, on his way home from school, Jemba saw thick smoke coming from a neighbour's kitchen. He ran to the house and found that the grass roof had caught fire. Nobody was around because the owner, Mrs. Kaudha, had gone to the market. Jemba did not panic. He shouted for help and started throwing water on the fire.

Soon other villagers came running with jerrycans and basins of water. Together they put out the fire before it reached the other houses. When Mrs. Kaudha returned, she was very thankful. She hugged Jemba and called him a brave boy.

The village chairman heard about what Jemba had done. At the next village meeting, he gave Jemba a new school bag and told all the children to learn from him. Jemba felt very proud and happy.
