Read the following passage and answer the following questions
5X2=10
By the time our delayed train reached and I disembarked with my father and baby, Lavanya, it was
well
past midnight.
Then, a burly man approached us and offered to carry our bags. He wasn't wearing the usual poster's
red shirt and tag, and though I was wary, my father decided to hire him. Leaving Lavanya and me
with the man, my father wenļ to look for Manas. I took a closer look at the man and felt apprehensive.
He was big and hairy, his face was pockmarked and his eyes looked bloodshot.
Just then Lavanya, who had been sleeping in my arms, awoke, and turned to look at the poster. He
gave her a playful smile and held out his arms. I thought she'd start crying and held her closer. But
she smiled back and twisted herself out of my arms into his.
Now I was really scared. What if he ran away? He must have sensed my fear and, even before I
reached out to take Lavanya back, hc handed her to me.
Al that moment my father returned with Manas. The man picked up our bags and walked towards the
car park. As we followed him, I asked Manas to pay him a little extra. But, having put our luggage in
the car, the man refused to take payment from us. Coming up to me, he placed his hand on my baby's
head for a moment as if to say, 'God bless you!' and walked away.
