Read and answer

Read the story first, then answer.

A bush that did not burn upMoses grew up in Pharaoh's palace, but his own people, the Hebrews, were slaves who made bricks. After trouble, Moses ran away to Midian. He helped seven sisters at a well, and he became a shepherd for their father Jethro. One day he led the flock to a mountain called Horeb and saw a bush that burned and did not burn up. He turned aside to look. God called him by name from the bush and told him to take off his sandals, because the ground was holy. God said he was sending Moses to Pharaoh to lead the people out. Moses asked who he was to go. God promised to be with him, and sent his brother Aaron, who spoke well, to help.
