Answer:
Anil was a writer who employed a servant Hari Singh.
Anil did not have much income but one day he came home with some money which he hid under the mattress.
The servant became greedy and stole this money but then he repented when he remembered what Anil had told him about education making him a man instead of a common thief.
This made Hari Singh return the money under the mattress.
Answer:
Money can't make a man as much as education can. We all know that education gives us knowledge and help us to be a good person and citizen as well. Hari singh is a boy of fifteen years who was experienced and fairly a successful hand. Some circumstances made him choose thief as profession. Anil, his targeted person, knows everything about theft. Anil retained work for him. Anil was full of kind, large-hearted person. He taught Hari Singh to write his name. He also promised him to write sentences and help him to solve maths problems like adding the numbers. Hari Singh started realising that education could bring him money and respect. Hari Singh broke Anil's trust but after all of that Anil was all-forgiving and compassionate. In the excitement of theft, Hari Singh forgot about education. But after some time he realised that the only man who helped him was Anil so he shouldn't rob him. Also at that time, he realised the value of education too. He thought that if he gets educated then he can surely get success.
