Answers
Explanation:
3.Ans: The old man claimed that he had known the King's father as well as grandfather. As both of them were dead long ago and the King was also getting old, he could clearly say that the old man was more than 75 years old.
4.Ans: Even though the old man had lived more than 75 years, he could only engage 7 years of his life in the benefits of people and did good deeds in those 7 years. So he said that he only counted the years of his life when he lived like a good person not the years which he spent with laziness.
5.Ans: slothfulness/ idler
1.Ans: The old man was ploughing his field when the King arrived and started talking to him.
2.Ans: The King was idler meaning he did not do much work and just spent his time doing nothing. However, after listening to the old man the King completely changed and was not idler or lazy anymore.
