Answers
Answer:
A man was living in a village. One day he found two goats on the street. The goats were black to look at and he brought home two very beautiful goats and started petting them.After the arrival of the kid, the female goat started giving milk to the goat and people used to make a living by selling this milk in the market. This is how their life went on.
One morning, Muni wakes up with a craving for something more sumptuous than the balls of cooked millet and raw onion he eats for his daily meal. Outside of his humble hut, he picks some drumsticks .
See The man Theman The man comes riding into the story in a yellow station wagon. A businessman who works in New York and commutes from Connecticut, he is dressed in the khaki clothing worn by American tourists in the tropics. Once he sees the statue of the horse, he must own it for his living room, with no thought for what the statue might mean or who might value it.
Muni Muni, an old and desperately poor man, is the protagonist of the story. Once he was prosperous, with a large flock of sheep, but a series of misfortunes have left him with only two scrawny goats. He and his wife have almost no income and no children to help take care of them.
Every day, Muni takes the goats out to graze on the scarce grass outside of town, while his wife pulls something together for an evening meal. As he watches the goats from the shade of a large statue, he remembers his younger days when the work was hard but there was enough to eat, when he could not attend school because he was not of the right caste, and when he imagined that he would one day have children.
Like many poor and struggling people, he fears authority figures, and so he fears the American who steps out of a strange car wearing khaki clothes.
While the man tries to talk with him about the statue, Muni babbles on about a recent murder and the end of the world. At the end he seems to have temporarily escaped his money troubles, but his bad luck continues when his wife suspects him of thievery and threatens to leave.
The shopman The shopman is a moody man who has given Muni food on credit in the past, but who has been pushed past his limit.
Muni owes him five rupees, and although they share a bit of humorous conversation, the shopman will not give him any more.
Although she is gruff with him now, she is willing to indulge his request for a special meal. She works as hard as he does, or harder, getting up at dawn to fix his morning meal, and taking odd jobs at the Big House when their stores are low.
But poverty has worn her down: Using humor instead of anger, Narayan demonstrates just how far apart the two worlds are: Muni is poor, rural, uneducated, Hindu, brown; the American is wealthy, urban, educated, probably Judeo-Christian, white.The American takes for granted his relative wealth and seems unaware of the difference between Muni and himself. He casually offers cigarettes to a man who has never seen one, complains about four hours without air conditioning to a man who has never had electricity, brags about enjoying manual labor as a Sunday hobby to a man who grew up working in the fields from morning until night, and without a thought gives Muni enough money to open a business.
He is not trying to show off; he simply accepts his wealth as his right. His very casualness emphasizes the gap between them.
Narayan in no way condemns the man for being wealthy, or for not stepping in to aid the poor Muni, but he wants the two men and their relative wealth to be clear, so the reader can evaluate the relationship between wealth and worth. Muni, who grew up a member of a lower caste at a time when only the Brahmin, the highest caste, could attend school, has had no formal education.Explanations of A Horse and Two Goats's symbols, and tracking of where they appear.
Hope this will help :)
