Question

(A) Read the following passage carefully and answer the

questions given below : 5

Once as a child Gandhiji stole a bit of gold for his

brother to pay for the latter’s debt of twenty-five

rupees. It was an innocent thing for a little boy to do,

to save his brother from disgrace. But by doing so he

had lost all peace of mind and he could not decide

what amends he should make for the wrong that he

had done. At last he decided to tell his father the

whole truth. He wrote a letter to him, telling him all

about the incident and promising that he would

never steal again. He asked his father to punish him

as severely as he wished and begged him not to feel

pained about it anyway. As the father read that

letter, tears began to roll down his cheeks. This left

Gandhiji so devastated with shame and remorse, that

he took a silent vow never to do an unrighteous deed

again. He strove to be good and truthful ever after.
