Q.29 Who was the peddler? What did he sell and how did he make them?
Answers
Answer:
The peddler is a poor man. He sells rattraps that he makes himself by the begged material. Even then he is given to thievery and begging to keep his body and soul together.
The rattrap seller was a poor vagabond, wearing shabby ragged clothes. He sold rattraps to earn a very meager livelihood. He made rattraps from the material that he begged from people.
He did people’s work and in return sought permission to spend night in a garage or insignificant part of the house he would be passing by in the evening. Most of the time he was refused. At times he resorted to petty thievery. He considered the entire world as a big rattrap and all the men and women as rats vulnerable to be trapped to various types of baits. He was always in search of securing some money, by hook or crook.
