Read the passage given below carefully and answer questions : 

Gandhiji's mother was a very sweet, kind and religious woman. She visited the temple daily, often taking her little son with her. She fasted frequently, too. Once she made a vow to eat only one meal a day for four months and not to take even that one meal unless she had first seen sunshine. As she had made this vow in the rainy season, it was often difficult to see sunshine at all. Her children, who could not bear to think of their dear mother going without food all the twenty four hours, would stand staring up at the sky waiting to catch the first gleams of the sun. As soon as a ray appeared, they would rash into the house and call their mother to come and see for herself. By the time she came out, the sun had often gone behind the clouds again "It does not matter," she would say cheerfully. "God does not want me to eat today," and back she would say her house hold tasks. In this way, Gandhijee learnt from his good mother how to do penance cheerfully for love of God.

(ii) What vow did Gandhijee's mother take? 

(iii) What did Gandhijee learnt from his mother?
