Explanation:
4This is a story told by the narrator about a man who has set his mind on being an example of
good manners and work ethic but fails miserably to do so.
Uncle Podger used to advise his children to always leave early with a quarter of an hour left but
what happened everyday with him was a different story.
The railway station Was an eight minute walk away from uncle podger’s home but he always
gets late as he used to rush for the station when there is five minutes left in departure of the
train.This has become an suburban custom as every morning folks gather around the railway
station common to watch city gentlemen running for the train, they cheered the most deserving
also.Uncle podger used to get early in the morning,he feels angry when he cannot find his thing
around him, most of the time it was his newspaper, his bag and his umbrella were missing, all
the children of the house then went on searching those things in the various areas of the
house.He blamed others for on losing his things as he said that he is surrounded by Conjurers
who disappears his thing on purpose just to annoy him.
Aunt Maria used to gather all the children in the hall to so that uncle podger can give them a
goodbye kiss, there’s always a child missing and the other children then go out to find him but
at last the missing child would come to him itself.And if everything goes on smoothly then the
eldest boy would come and say the clocks of the house are five minutes slow , this would send
uncle rushing towards the station.When all the children returned to their places they find that
the most important thing is left behind in the house, on which they wonder what would uncle
say when he comes back to home. The moral of the story is always practice what you preach.
