2. Read the following passage from “Kamau’s Finish”:

My ears buzz, but I think I hear him shout, “Run, son! Get up and run!”
Uncertain, I scramble and gape at Baba. Sweat streams down his face, and he holds a hahand over his chest. Is he having a heart attack?
He can’t be. His eyes are shining. I can see every tooth in his mouth.
Baba is beaming!
So I wipe my nose with my wrist and laugh through the tears. It sounds like I am crying. But Baba is beaming.
I keep my eyes on him and trot sheepishly alongside to the finish. So much noise, so many people crowding the finish area. Mr. Juma is probably shouting for order.
