Read and answer
Read the story first.
Nehemiah and the wallNehemiah lived in Persia, far from Jerusalem. He was the king's cupbearer, the helper who carried the king's cup. One day men from Jerusalem told him that the wall of the city was broken down, and its gates had burned. Nehemiah sat down and wept, and he prayed. The king saw how sad Nehemiah looked and asked why. Nehemiah asked to be sent to Judah to build the city again, and the king said yes. Then Nehemiah gathered the people, and families, priests and goldsmiths each built a part of the wall. Half of the people worked while the other half stood guard. After fifty-two days the wall was finished.
