Read and answer

Read the story first.

Naaman and the riverNaaman was the commander of the army of Aram, a land north of Israel. He had a skin disease that would not go away. A young servant girl from Israel told her mistress that the prophet in Samaria could make her master well. Naaman set out with a letter from his king, gifts of silver and gold and ten fine robes. The prophet Elisha did not come out. He sent a servant to tell Naaman to wash seven times in the river Jordan. Naaman was angry and turned to go home. His servants asked him to try the easy way. So he went down to the Jordan and went under the water seven times. His skin was clean and new, and he went back to say thank you.
