Read this excerpt from Nelson Mandela's Nobel Peace Prize address and answer the question. The reward of which we have spoken will and must also be measured by the happiness and welfare of the mothers and fathers of these children, who must walk the earth without fear of being robbed, killed for political or material profit, or spat upon because they are beggars. They too must be relieved of the heavy burden of despair which they carry in their hearts, born of hunger, homelessness and unemployment. The value of that gift to all who have suffered will and must be measured by the happiness and welfare of all the people of our country, who will have torn down the inhuman walls that divide them. These great masses will have turned their backs on the grave insult to human dignity which described some as masters and others as servants, and transformed each into a predator whose survival depended on the destruction of the other. Which excerpt from the short story "Once Upon a Time" best connects the residents of South Africa referred to in the excerpted text from Mandela's Nobel Peace Prize address? "I lay quite still—a victim already—the arrhythmia of my heart was fleeing, knocking this way and that against its body-cage." "The misbeats of my heart tailed off like the last muffled flourishes on one of the wooden xylophones made by the Chopi and Tsonga migrant miners who might have been down there, under me in the earth at that moment." "...and subscribed to the local Neighborhood Watch, which supplied them with a plaque for their gates lettered YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED over the silhouette of a would-be intruder." "These people were not allowed into the suburb except as reliable housemaids and gardeners, so there was nothing to fear."
