Answers
Answer:
Appearances can be deceptive as you cannot judge anything or anyone by how they look. A person wearing raggy might be rich in reality,whereas a person who shows off a lot might be in debt. As the famous quote, you cannot judge a book by its cover
Appearances may be deceptive. With reference to the two boys, Nicola and
Jacopo, the axiom is surely relevant and appropriate. When the narrator, A.J.
Cronin first met them at the outskirts of Verona, they looked shabby and
unkempt. Even Luigi, the driver passed a hasty judgement about them. However,
on observing the boys from close quarters, the narrator realized they were the
most extraordinary children he had ever met. He came to know they possessed all
the qualities of gentlemen. They were responsible, caring, well-behaved,
self-reliant, courageous, hardworking, committed and dedicated to save their
ailing sister. The author was so much impressed with their maturity and
self-sacrificing nature.
They did various menial jobs such as, selling fruit, newspapers, shoe-shining, running errands, as guides, etc. to pay the medical expenses for their sister undergoing medical treatment for the tuberculosis of the spine. The narrator developed boundless admiration and respect for them.
