Answer 1

Explanation:

The cultural difference between Muni and the American has probably been the greatest theme of the story A Horse and Two Goats. Narayan has depicted this clash of East vs West through the use of humour instead of seriousness.

Muni is a common villager from Tamil Nadu, India. He knows only two English words ‘yes’ and ‘no’. He has no education and is superstitious about almost every aspect of life. He has never stepped beyond his own village, leading him ignorant of the outer world altogether like most other villagers. He has submitted to his fate and leads a life full of hunger and poverty grazing his two goats and shaking down drumsticks from the tree. While he waits under the horse statue, he stares at the cars going down the highway. His only concern in life seems to earn the day’s bread somehow and be happy, though he has a dream of setting up a small shop someday by selling his goats.
