Detailed explanation-1: -What is a central idea of the story? A man is grateful for what he has amidst a war-torn country and he works to rebuild life for his family.
Detailed explanation-2: -Jonathan moves his family into their old home, and others come out of the “forest holes” and begin rebuilding (83). The family works to rebuild their lives. The children pick mangoes and sell them to soldiers’ wives for a few cents, and his wife, Maria, prepares and sells Akara balls (fried balls of ground beans).
Detailed explanation-3: -He had come out of the war with five inestimable blessings-his head, his wife Maria’s head, and the heads of three out of their four children. As a bonus he also had his old bicycle-a miracle too but naturally not to be compared to the safety of five human heads.
Detailed explanation-4: -When Jonathan replies that he only has 20 pounds, the leader of the robbers demands he hand the money through the open window. After they take the money, life goes on as usual for Jonathan because “Nothing Puzzles God, ” meaning that the robbery has a greater meaning in God’s eyes than how it seemed to Jonathan.
