Answer the following questions

- How did Jon divide his time between land and sea?
- Do you think John was rightly called ‘captain turtle ‘? Give reasons for your answer.
- Why did Jon want to return the wind cap to the fairy man?
Answer
- Because the wind had been whirling about the boat tearing the sails and snapping the spars. Hence the sailors fully tried to rip off the cap from John’s head.
- The way he spent half the year on a ship and half year on the shore, the same John divided his time between land and sea.
- Yes, I think that John was rightly called ‘ captain of turtles ‘ because He was really on the water and land.
- All the sailors blamed Jon for the storm and the damage so he too felt that the cap was responsible for all the damage so he wanted to return the wind cap to the fairy man.
