(Wishes come true)
​

He did not care for children's sweets ,

Answer 2

Sushil could not eat toffee as he lied about the stomach ache.

• The question has been asked from the story When Wishes Come True by Rabindranath Tagore.
• Sushil was the son of Subal Chandra. He was not a well-behaved child and was always running around annoying all the neighbouring residents.
• One day Sushil claims to have a stomach ache and refuses to go to school
• Knowing it was a convenient excuse, Subal forewarned him that he will have to cancel his ideal plan with friends, and instead of eating toffee, he needs to drink the bitter medicine.  
• Suddenly, he says that his stomach ache is over, but Subal refuses to hear it and locks him in his room.
