Answer 1

Jacopo and Nicola, were very young to face such adverse situations. They did not lose hope and courage. They were not ready to give up at all. Their family and home were destroyed by a bomb-blast and their sister was suffering from the tuberculosis of the spine. They had no money for her treatment. But they did not lose hope. They get her admitted in a hospital at Poleta and worked day and night to pay the bills of the hospital. They sold fruits, hawked newspaper, guided tourists round the town, polished the shoes and so on. They worked hard to earn money and saved it for the treatment of their sister. They never spent money on themselves. The adverse situations did not break their spirits and they remained dedicated and selfless. Thus, the story teaches us not to lose hope and courage. Rather we should face life as it comes. Running away from the problem is not the solution but finding ways to come out of the problems shows the real spirit.
