What are Hari Singh’s reactions to the prospect of receiving an education? Do they change over time? (Hint: Compare, for example, the thought: “I knew that once I could write like an educated man there would be no limit to what I could achieve” with these later thoughts: “Whole sentences, I knew, could one day bring me more than a few hundred rupees. It was a simple matter to steal — and sometimes just as simple to be caught. But to be a really big man, a clever and respected man, was something else.”) What makes him return to Anil?
Hari Singh’s reactions to the prospect of receiving an education change over time. He wanted to learn to write so that he could become proficient in tricking people and make a lot more that what he was able to with his petty thievery. There are no evidences in the story which prove that his reactions to the prospect of recieving education changed with time.
Anil was the thief's only friend in the city. The thief knew that Anil would care very little about the money that was stolen. He would feel sad about the his trust in the thief that was shattered. So, he came back to Anil.
