They make young people aware of life at an early age. The parents grant them the privilege of teaching the children, and the grandparents take great pride in raising the children or at least having abig part in raising them. Young children often stay with their grandparents for years at atime developing aclose and trusting relationship. The grandparents teach the children Navajo legends and the principle of life, emphasizing both new culture trends and the preservation of traditions. The grandparents are also often the leading figures in teaching the youth the arts of weaving, caring for the livestock, using herbal medicine, and other arts and crafts. The children are taught to respect their elders, to care for them, to help them whenever they are in need, and to learn from them. Young people are urged to listen with care to the words of their elders and to keep as much wisdom as possible. Grandparents often go to social gatherings and traditional events, and the young have opportunities to learn more about their culture and traditions. Ilive with my grandmother for thirteen years, and she raised me in the old ways of our people. Although Iwas going to school, she taught me as much as she could about our traditions. She was abeautiful woman. If Ihad achance, Iwould listen again to her wise teachings, expressed with kindness in asoft voice that touched my heart. We used to plant corn and pumpkin every summer. They never grew big enough to feed us, but we planted them anyway. Iasked my grandmother why. She said, "Grandson, our plants will be far more beautiful than the flowers outside the fence." Idid not understand until one day Isaw their beauty as Iwas coming over the hill with her. She said, "Anything that is apart of you is always far more beautiful than the things which you pass by." We had some beautiful years together. Iam glad she is apart of me and Iam apart of her. Children used to be well disciplined, possessing more respect for culture, tradition, and beliefs than they do now. The world of the Navajo has been influenced by the western world, and the grandparents have less control and influence than they used to. But the young people who have been touched by their teachings have glimpsed away of life beyond what most people know today. ● 1What can we learn from Paragraph 1? ） ● 2Why did the author's grandmother plant corn and pumpkin? ） A.
