Lesson- A Spark Neglected Burns The House Q- Why did Ivan pull out Gabriel's beard?
Answers
When the two families began to argue, Ivan pulls out Gabriel's beard.
Explanation:
Gabriel, returning from the fields, stopped to take his wife's part. Out rushed Iván and his son and joined in with the rest. Iván was a strong fellow, he scattered the whole lot of them and pulled a handful of hair out of Gabriel's beard. People came to see what was the matter, and the fighters were separated with difficulty. That was the manner by which everything started.
Gabriel wrapped the hair torn from his beard in a paper and went to the District Court to have the law of Iván. 'I didn't develop my facial hair,' said he, 'for blemished Iván to haul it out!' And his better half went gloating to the neighbours, saying they'd have Iván sentenced and sent to Siberia. Thus the fight developed.
Answer:
Ivan pulled out Gabriel's hair as he was very angry on his neighbor Gebriel
