Answer:
Question 1. Why did the king want no more talk about the hilsa-fish?
Answer: The king did not want to listen any more talk about the hilsa-fish because everyone in the entire kingdom kept talking only about the hilsa-fish and this irritated the king.
Question 2. What did the king ask Gopal to do to prove that he was clever?
Answer: The king asked Gopal to prove that he was clever so that while Gopal is on this challenge, he will try as much as possible that people don’t speak anything about the Hilsa-fish.
Question 3. What three things did Gopal do before he went to buy his hilsa-fish?
Answer: The three things that Gopal did before he went to buy his hilsa-fish were:
i) He half-shaved his face.
ii) He smeared ash on his body.
iii) He wore rags.
Question 4. How did Gopal get inside the palace to see the king after he had bought the fish?
Answer: When he reached the palace, he told the guards that he wants to meet the king. The guards stopped him from going inside. Gopal began to sing and dance loudly. The king heard the noise and ordered to get the man inside the palace. That’s how he got inside the palace.
Question 5. Explain why no one seemed to be interested in talking about the hilsa-fish which Gopal had bought.
Answer: The reason why no one seemed to be interested in talking about the hilsa-fish which Gopal had bought was that people were more surprised by his appearance- half-shaved face, ash on the body and rugs instead of proper clothes. This made them wonder what happened to him.
