Answer 1

Answer:

Once a boy fell into a bad company. He acquired many bad habits. It pained his father. His father tried his best to set him right but to no avail. One day, the father thought a good plan to mend his son. He went to the fruit market and brought some fresh apples and a rotten one. He came home and said to his son,  “put these apples in the almirah.” The boy did so.

After few days the father asked his son to bring the basket of apples. The son was surprised to find that all the apples had gone rotten. The father said, “one rotten apple has spoiled all the good ones. Bad friends are like bad apples. They will spoil you.” The son listened to the advice  and gave up the bad company.
