Question

But promis es like mine abound in every corner of his bleak world.” What pro mis e did the author recall? W hy did

she say so?​

Answer 1

• The author asked Saheb about going to school. Saheb explained that there was no school in his neighbourhood. He promised to go to school when they built one. Half joking, the author asked whether he would come in case she started one. Saheb smiled broadly and agreed to come. After a few days, he ran upto the author and asked if the school was ready. The author felt embarrassed. She had made a promise that was not meant.
