You should go and sell the goat”. The boy takes the goat and goes to the town. He meets a farmer with a large basket in his hands. “Sell me your goat”, says the farmer. “What can you give me for it?” asks the boy. “I can give you this basket”, says the farmer. “What good is this basket for me?” says the boy. “What can I put in it? I’ve got no bread, I’ve got no eggs and I’ve got no apples!” “My little girl is ill”, says the farmer. “She must drink some milk from a grey goat every day or she will die”. The boy is kind. He is sorry for the little girl. He gives his goat to the farmer, takes the basket and goes home. When he comes home, he puts the basket on the table and shows it to his mother. The mother looks at the basket and says, “What good is this basket for us, what can we put in it?” But suddenly the basket says, “I’m a magic basket!” The basket jumps from the table and runs out of the house. When it comes back to the poor boy’s house, it is full of meat, fruit and vegetables. Now the mother and the boy have dinner.

Sure, I'd be happy to help you answer these questions based on the story:

1. The mother tells her son to sell the goat because they are very poor and have no money or bread. They need to sell the goat in order to get some money for their basic needs.

2. The farmer wants to buy the boy's goat because his little girl is ill and needs to drink milk from a grey goat every day in order to survive. The farmer is willing to trade the basket for the goat, as the milk from the goat is essential for his daughter's health.

3. No, his mother does not like the basket at first. When she sees the basket, she questions its usefulness, wondering what they can put in it since they have no bread, eggs, or apples.

4. To show that it is magic, the basket jumps from the table and runs out of the house. When it returns, it is filled with meat, fruit, and vegetables.

5. Yes, the mother and her son are happy at the end. With the magic basket providing them with food every day, they no longer go hungry. They now have enough to eat for breakfast, dinner, and supper.

6. I think the mother and son are happy because the magic basket solves their problem of poverty and hunger. It ensures that they have enough to eat every day without having to worry about their basic needs. The transformation of the basket from a seemingly ordinary object to a source of sustenance and nourishment brings them happiness and relief from their struggles.
