Question

Comparison and selfless love is always rewarded. Comment on the statement in the light story "an angel in disguise"

Answer 1

Floods are caused in water bodies as also on land. When rains are very heavy or last for many days water bodies may receive more water than they can hold. Water then floods the water body, and also overflows its banks. The flooding of the water body then causes the land beyond the water body, which is otherwise dry, to get flooded.

Floods are, of course, a natural phenomenon. But man-made factors are also responsible for the incidence of floods. For example, when trees are felled, and forests are cleared indiscriminately there is ecological damage. As trees help in holding the soil, when they are cut off the top soil becomes loose and gets easily washed away when there are rains. This leads to silting of water bodies like lakes and rivers, and subsequently to flooding. The towns and cities in the vicinity of the water bodies, that are otherwise dry, also experience floods then.

Floods are also an outcome of poor drainage systems in modern urban areas where there is a high density of human population. The cities’ drains get clogged by the huge amounts of domestic garbage that also includes plastic waste. As plastic is non-biodegradable it remains without getting decomposed. When there are torrential and continuous rains for some days the drains get totally choked leading to floods in the cities.

Floods cause loss to life and property

Answer 2

Explanation:

'Compassion and selfless love' are always 'rewarded'. Taking into consideration the story of “an Angel in Disguise” we saw that how after the death of the alcoholic woman, her 2 children get adopted by village members but one of her child named Maggie who has a 'damaged spine and is fully bedridden' as a result of fall, gets left behind.

However, showing compassion and love, Joe Thompson takes Maggie to his house even though he knew that his wife would be unhappy. But this was true only for initial days as Maggie stayed there.

'With the passage of time' Mrs. Thompson realized that she had started to love Maggie and when Joe told her that he would send Maggie to the poorhouse, she felt bad and wanted her to stay. Hence both Maggie’s and Joe’s selfless love and compassion changed Mrs. Thompson thoughts and they decided to keep her forever and they lived happily ever after.
