Answer 2

Appearance are deceptive. They make impressions but it is the personality which makes an impact. Gentleman does not refer to a well dressed person. Rather it refers to the magnanimity of heart and noble of purpose. It is very much true in the case of Nicola and Jacopo. In spite of their shabby appearance, the narrator bought wild strawberries from them. In the following days, the narrator discovered that the boys did a lot of other things apart from selling strawberries. they sold newspapers, worked as shoeshine boys and tourist guides and ran errands. The narrator thought that the boys were working so hard to save money to emigrate to America. However, it was revealed during the course of the story that their only motive was to pay for their elder sister Lucia's treatment who was suffering from tuberculosis of spine. Behind their shabby appearance were hidden two noble souls whose dedication, devotion and maturity at such a young age promises a new hope for mankind. In their earnest endeavour, they become role models, epitomes of sacrifice who can enlighten the path for the rest of the humanity to follow.
