Read and answer

Read the story first, then answer.

A way through the seaPharaoh let God's people go, and Moses led them out of Egypt. A pillar of cloud went ahead of them by day and fire by night. They camped beside a great sea. Then Pharaoh changed his mind and sent horses and chariots after them. The people were very afraid, but Moses told them not to be afraid and to stand still. He held his staff out over the sea, and all that night a strong east wind pushed the water back. By morning there was dry ground with a wall of water on each side. The people walked across, and the army's wheels began to stick. At daybreak the water rolled back, and Miriam took up a tambourine and led the dancing.
