Answer 2

He is accepting of his grandson’s ignorance.

Step-by-step explanation:

The poem "Birdfoot's Grampa" is written by Joseph Bruchac, who also incorporates his Native American heritage to his works. The poem is of three stanzas about one incident of when the speaker is traveling with his grandfather.

In the poem, the speaker reveals when a long drive with his "old man". But he gets frustrated at the old man for stopping occasionally to "gather into his hands the small toads blinded by our lights".The young boy's frustration did not seem to affect Grampa for he did what he wanted o do, telling his grandson "they have places to go too". This statement only reveals that he is accepting of the young boy's ignorance and did not seem to get angry with his impatience.
