Read and answer
Read the story first.
Ruth in the fieldNaomi lived in Bethlehem with her husband and her two sons. A famine came, so the family walked to Moab to find food. Later Naomi decided to go home, and Ruth, who had married one of her sons, went with her. Naomi told Ruth to go back to her own home, but Ruth held on to Naomi and said she would go wherever Naomi went. In Bethlehem it was the start of the barley harvest. Ruth went out at sunrise with a basket and picked up the grain the harvesters dropped, in a field that belonged to a man named Boaz. Boaz was kind to her. He gave her bread and had extra stalks left for her. That evening Ruth carried home a basket of grain for Naomi.
