Answers
Explanation:
One of Premchand's best stories, 'Kafan' follows the life and struggles of Ghisu and Madhav- a father-son duo who are too lazy to take up menial jobs when needed. It is during one of their philosophical talks, when Ghisu and Madhav justify spending all their borrowed money for buyong a shroud/ Kafan for Ghisu's dead wife, and on drinks and food for themselves. Though Ghisu and Madhav are shown to be quite passive, the readers will sympathize with them towards end.
Boodhi Kaaki' is a heart-touching story of an old blind woman who lost her husband and sons. When her nephew promises to take care of her after she transferred all her properties to him, the innocent old woman agrees only to get cheated and ill-treated. Though she lives with the nephew and his wife Rupa, she is a neglected member of the family. Once during a function at home, everyone is enjoying a good meal but the old Kaaki is left to starve. After everyone leaves, Rupa notices the budhi Kaaki having leftovers to curb her hunger and the sight makes her realise their ill-doings.
