Answers
Answer:
The Thief’s Story is written by Ruskin Bond. The story is about a young fifteen-year-old boy, Hari Singh who befriended people in order to rob them. One day, he met Anil during a wrestling match. Anil was a twenty-five-year-old man who was leading his life casually. He was a struggling writer who would make small money with his writing prowess. Hari flattered Anil by trying to befriend him and asked him for some work.
Anil asked Hari if he could cook, to which the young boy replied affirmatively. Hearing this, Anil took him to his room and promised to teach Hari how to read, write, add numbers and cook delicious meals. Sometimes, Anil would give a rupee to Hari as a tip for his efforts. One fine day, Anil received a bundle of notes for his published articles. He kept the money under his mattress and Hari happened to notice this. During midnight, when Anil was fast asleep Hari stealthily slipped his hand and stole the money kept under the mattress. He immediately left for the railway station to board a train to Lucknow. Unfortunately, he missed the train and wandered across the streets. As it was pouring heavily, he got drenched completely.
