The story says that Maitn and Josha are not family, but that they’re very close. I think that they are neighbors.
Answers will vary.
Sample Response: Fossil fuels had run out and a drought made it difficult to get hydroelectric power. An earthquake caused damage to many nuclear power plants.

31. Sample Response: Josha and Maitn are in danger when they are in the tree during the storm. Once turned on during a storm, the vacuum causes lots of electricity flow through the atmosphere. Some of that energy could stray. A tall object such as a tree would be likely to attract that electricity.

Sample Response: A pear can give Josha hope, which is something important.
