Answers
The questions have been asked from the story A horse and two goats by R.K Narayan.
The correct answers are -
1. The old man was convinced on American buying his goats and was given hundred rupees. He subsequently explained the American, that it was the first goat ride in motor car and they should be carried only if Muni was out of sight otherwise they will not follow him, but only Muni even if he was on the way to Yama Loka. Muni laughed at his own joke as he said this.
2. Having noticed a truck coming downhill, the American promptly stopped the truck and pleaded for help. At that time he was typically helped to carefully remove the statue by a few men and placed it in the station wagon.
3. Muni excitedly told his wife that he had sell on the goats to a red-faced man who had given him a hundred rupees.
4. Muni thought he had disposed of the goats to an American. Nevertheless, outside his home, he caught the bleating and instantly noticed the giddy goats. He got furious, murmured a fierce curse, and caught one of the goats by his ears.
