Why would slow-growing corn be dangerous? Then, during the cold night, the whole family went out the fields to save the frozen corn. What did they do to try to save the corn? Why did they have to finish before the sun came up? This corn was their livelyhood. What might happen if more of the crop had been lost? Non-detailed responses will NOT be accepted.
