5) Why did Swami try to change the topic when his father asked him to sleep alone?

Answer 1

Answer:

• According to the newspaper’s report, a brave boy fought with the tiger.

• Swami’s father read the news to his son so that, Swami may get some inspiration and be more courageous.
• Swami didn’t believe in the story that was reported in the newspaper. This was because he couldn't believe that a boy would have given such a glorious fight against a tiger. He doubted if a boy of his age could ever fight with a tiger. He must have been a very strong and grown up person, not at all a boy.
• Swami's father asked him (Swami) to prove his courage by sleeping alone in his office room.
• He was scared of the idea of sleeping alone in his father's office. He had always slept beside his grandma in the passage, and any change in this arrangement kept him trembling and awake all night.
