	1. Who asked Abeedou to help put God's Truth into Malinké? Paulu Madi Iriki Grandmother
	2. Why did Abeedou agree to help? He didn't like hunting with the rest of the boys. He was hoping to learn God's Truth to teach it to Grandmother. His father told him to. It seemed like a good idea at the time.
	*3. Ala sii kisi* means:** "Give Grandmother a kiss." "God can save you." "See that hippo?" "I don't speak Malinké."
	4. What is the Malinké word for "Thank you"? Malo Iriki Sii They don't have one
	5. Who did the Malinké have to hear about to understand how to be rid of their sins? The Debt-Payer Paulu Grandmother Iriki
	6. Where did the Elders decide to meet? In the church At Grandmother's house In Madi's compound In the conference room
	7. Who would not be allowed at the meetings? The Elders Women and children The young men Iriki
	8. Why did that make Abeedou sad? He wanted to hear, and he wanted Grandmother to hear. Attendance figures would be low. There wouldn't be much work for the ushers. Iriki and Paulu were disappointed.
	9. Why did the Elders make the decision? No one else could agree. It's in the by-laws. Paulu and Iriki asked them to. That's the way the Malinké make decisions.
	10. What was the Elders' reason for excluding women and children? They were not concerned about religion. They would make too much noise. There wasn't room for everyone. They wanted to hear the message first, then decide if the women should hear it.
