1= What did Nishant give Mr Nath ? Why?
Answer: Nishad gave a bar of chocolate to Mr. Nath. He did so because of the lean appearance of Mr. Nath, which suggested that he was starving.
b. What is strange about Mr Nath Sundays?

c. Why did Maya says Mr Nath is a crook/ What does she says about the
Sunday visitor?
Answer: Maya thinks that Mr. Nath is a crook because he does not have any friends even after spending more than a year at the place. Also, he does not talk to anyone and does not have any visitors any time except for the visitor who meets him on Sundays.
She says that the Sunday visitor is his partner in crime and visits him on Sundays to give him his share of money.
d. What trees does Mr Wonka invention ? Which tree does he says lives the
longest?
Answer: Mr Wonka mentions the following trees:
Douglas fir
Oak
Cedar
Bristlecone pine
He says that the Bristlecone pine lives the longest.
e. Why does Mr Wonka collect items from the oldest things? Do you think
this is the right way to begin the invention?
Answer: Mr Wonka collects items from the oldest things because he had to invent an item that can make people older.
I think researching on the oldest things is still a good idea as it can give him an insight into what might be the reason behind their long life. But, collecting little things from such species is not a great idea to begin his invention.
1. What was the authors opinion about Mr. Gessler as a bootmaker?
Answer: The author had a high opinion about Mr Gessler as a bootmaker. He knew that Mr Gessler made only what was ordered, and the boots that he made never failed to fit. The author felt that to make such boots as Mr Gessler did seemed mysterious and wonderful.
