ead the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:
1. Shyam sat for long waiting for a glass of water, but no member in his family bothered. He began

brother?” said his friend Hari Krishna who had suddenly called on him. Hari Krishna was his
childhood friend. Shyam once again felt the urge for taking water. He called someone in the family,
but there was no one to respond to his call.
2. “O Shyam, you have ten lakh rupees lying in your account in the bank. Are you thinking of
withdrawing them after you are no more?” Hari Krishna asked Shyam sharply. Shyam felt confused.
He did not realize which money Hari Krishna was speaking about. But before he could articulate ,
Hari Krishna cautioned Shyam to keep quiet. In no time did the daughter-in-law appear,holding a
glass of water in her hands. Shyam kept gazing at his friend, smiling gently at heart. Hari Krishna’s
trick had brought about the desired change.
