Do not let you die as a fool, explain:

On the fourth day, I am not quite healthy, unconsciously falling in bed, sleeping. Mom calls, carefully asks if I need something in the store... I don’t know if it was the fault of the telephone, my answer, which she may not have heard, or some heavenly forces, but home she proudly brought me a bite of berry branches... and only modestly asked why you?

What did the author ask? Or is it not important?
