Answer 2

• Why was Nathu, the sweeper boy, annoyed?

→ Nathu, the sweeper-boy, was annoyed because his employer, Seth Govind Ram’s careless business dealings had almost left him penniless. Nathu hadn’t even received his regular pay for two months. Govind Ram owned a small local bank and Nathu could not understand how he could hold up a poor man’s salary.

• How did Nathu, the sweeper boy, express his anger?

→ Nathu was vexed with his employer Seth Govind Ram for not paying his salary on time. Annoyed by this, Nathu swept the place hurriedly, raising dust everywhere and banging the pan against a dustbin. He also swore to Sitaraman that he would quit the job the moment he received his salary.

• How did the news about the bank change from Mrs. Prakash’s telling to Mrs. Bhushan’s?

→ Mrs Prakash informed Mrs Bhushan that Seth Govind Ram’s bank was not being able to pay its employees for two months, which included Nathu, the sweeper-boy of the bank. Mrs Bhushan concluded that if the bank was failing to pay its sweeper, then it must have gone bankrupt. She then told her husband and others that the bank had not paid its employees for three months. This is how the news about the bank changed from Mrs Prakash’s telling to Mrs Bhushan’s.

• Why did the rumour spread so fast in the small town?

→ The small town in the foot hills was a quiet town and people in the town lived a peaceful life. It had not faced any major crisis of any sort. It was not even affected by natural calamities. Hence, the news of the bank going bankrupt spread like wildfire and caused a lot of excitement among the people.

• How did the barber and his customer react to the news about the bank? What words in para 17 tell you that the customer was more worried about his money than his injury?

→ Faiz Hussain, the barber, was so shocked to hear the news of the bank going bankrupt that his hands shook and he nicked his customer’s right ear. The customer, an elderly gentleman, yelped with pain and distress – pain because of the cut and distress because of the news he had just heard.

“With one side of his neck still unshaved, he ran out of the shop to a general store where there was a telephone.” This line shows that the customer was more worried about his money than his injury.
