SECTION B: POETRY QUESTION 2: CATTLE IN THE RAIN 2. Read the poem cattle in the rain and answer the questions based on it. Nothing has no end, 10 15 20 25 30 90 35 It le true. This rain used to soak us in the pasturee and the cattle would not stop to graze, they would not be driven to the kraal, It made me cry and curse sometime and I used to wish I was born for the skirt. Just imagine penetrating the wet bush almost doubled up with a heavy smelling coned up jute sack as a rain coat pebbles of water pounding on the head, very Irritating, too. Sometimes an angry wasp disturbed by the foregoing cows stabbed you on the cursing lips and in the frantic stampede, wet thoms snapped at random in your benumbed feet. And the rain odes not cease and the cows just go on. Come to the kraal - This ox, called Gatooma, stands still before the rest, his ghost of silent disapproval shattering your mind, listening, listening to nothing at all, and I knew then that I had to call for help. But people at home in warm huts could hardly hear me through the maddening rain. This ox, tall high, at two sniffs and a cajole, all meant to humillate would crash through the thin bush leaving me running weakly sobbing at each step a bone of anger blocking my breath, chugging after the rhythmic hooves hammering the earth. and still it rained and the cows went skelter and the rain swept the salty tears and watery mucus Into my lips. Quote a two word phrase from line 3 which tells us that the poem talks about the speaker's past. not means in line 7.
