Question

Nathu grumbled to himself as he swept the steps of the Pipalnagar Bank, owned by
Seth Govind Ram. He used the small broom hurriedly and carelessly, and the dust,
after rising in a cloud above his head settled down again on the steps. As Nathu was
banging his pan against a dustbin, Sitaram, the washerman's son, passed by.
Sitaram was on his delivery round. He had a bundle of freshly pressed clothes
balanced on his head,
*Don't raise such dust!' he called out to Nathu. 'Are you annoyed because they are
still refusing to pay you an extra two rupees a month?'
"I don't wish to talk about it,' complained the sweeper-boy. “I haven't even received
my regular pay. And this is the twentieth of the month. Who would think a bank
would hold up a poor man's salary? As soon as I get my money, I'm off! Not another
week I work in this place.' And Nathu banged the pan against the dustbin several
times, just to emphasize his point and giving himself confidence.
