Question

QI) Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions
given below:
My childhood had always been a sheltered one. My parents along with my
teachers, tried to instill good ethics in me. But sharing was one moral value
which I was never comfortable with. “Why should I give?” was my
question. I could not understand the value of sharing at that time. Little
joys of sharing were beyond my understanding.
During one vacation to my hometown, I was at the railway station with my
parents. As we were waiting for a train, something caught my attention.
Two small children, perhaps siblings, were seeking alms nearby. Though
they appeared at ease, I was shocked by their overall untidiness.
When they approached us, my father promptly gave the older one, a girl
some money. Those were the days when I was constantly reminded of the
virtues of ‘sharing’ things with others. So, when my mother nudged me, I
knew why and the look my mother gave me, confirmed. I had a pack of my
favourite chocolates in my pocket, and even though I pretended to have
forgotten about it, she remembered them. I was devastated. With a heavy
heart I fished out one chocolate and placed it reluctantly on the
outstretched hand of the girl. She flashed a smile and the duo moved on.
But my gaze never left them as I wanted to know about the fate of my
chocolate. I kept on observing them.
After a while I saw her unwrap it. She then did something which moved
me. Without a moment’s hesitation, she put the chocolate in her brother’s
mouth and watched his face brighten up as he savoured it. Her action
puzzled me. Why did she not eat it
herself ?Regret and shame overcame me when I realized that I had
deliberately given only one chocolate. I quickly decided to give her one
more chocolate voluntarily. Strangely, my action made me feel better than
I had thought. I felt content.
As our train approached the station, the girl rushed to give me something.
It was a small paper doll which she had made with the wrapper of the
chocolates. I was speechless. Was she trying to convey a “Thankyou”? That

little girl taught me the joy of sharing and also answered one big question
of ‘Why should I give?’ I now ask ‘Why not’ as sharing is all about loving.
Happiness abounds when shared. Years have rolled by and I still cherish
that valuable lesson. I learnt during that vacation. Sometimes life teaches
us things we fail to learn from classrooms. I still think of that girl and her
brother and wonder where they would be now…. Those sparkling eyes and
beautiful smile. They taught me the joys of sharing.
