Answer 1

Kaddo's problem at the beginning of the story is that he does not have enough corn in his granary to feed all of the villagers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Kaddo's problem at the beginning of the story is that he does not have enough corn in his granary to feed all of the villagers. The passage mentions that farmers live on a yearly cycle, and if they don't have enough grain stored during the winter, they may need to borrow seed grain in the spring. Poor farmers like Kaddo would borrow at high interest rates and could end up in a cycle of debt. This is relevant to Kaddo's situation because it explains why he doesn't have enough corn in his granary.
