Question

A. I looked at my father's bare feet. Never having worn shoes, his feet
had developed cracks and somehow resembled those of an elephant. I
noticed this for the first time. I hadn't noticed that the road was un
even. I didn't have to since 1 was wearing a pair of hunting boots. I
checked my wallet and saw I still had around Rs. 40 with me. A pair of
canvas shoes would cost around Rs. 12 and the remaining amount
would be enough for me to get to Bomdila
