read the passage to answer the question.

how could the grasshopper have acted and stayed in the game?

a grasshopper once had a game of tag
with some crickets that lived nearby,
when he stubbed his toe, and over he went
too quick to see with your eye.

then the crickets leaned up against a fence,
and chirped till their sides were sore,
but the grasshopper said, "you are laughing at me,
and i won't play anymore."

so off he went though he wanted to stay,
for he was not hurt by the fall.
and the gay little crickets went on with the game,
and never missed him at all.

he could have said he was fine and said he can still continue the game but please don't laugh at me it hurts my feeling and it wouldn't make you feel good if i laughed at you and been a little more careful and not so dramatic

first of paragraph? and second of statment?

don't submit such stupid questions!

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
