Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow.
With dry lips, parched throat, ink-stained fingers, and exhaustion on
one side and exaltation on the other, Swaminathan strode out of the
examination hall on the last day.
He would have felt more comfortable if all the boys had given their
papers as he had done, twenty minutes before time. Standing in the
verandah, he turned back and looked into the hall and felt slightly
uneasy when he saw his friends, busy writing, thinking or revising their
answers.
Swami suddenly wished that he had not come out so soon. But how
could he have stayed in the hall longer? The language paper was set to
go on till five o'clock. He had found himself writing the last question at
four-thirty. Out of the six questions set, he had answered the first and
third questions satisfactorily, the second was doubtful; the fourth, he
knew, was clearly wrong.
He took only a minute to answer the sixth question.
The question was: 'What moral do you infer from the story of the Old
man and the Tiger?' (An old man was passing along the edge of a pond.
The tiger hailed him from the other bank and offered him a gold
bangle. The old man first declined the offer, but when the tiger
protested its innocence and sincerity and insisted upon his taking the
bangle, he waded through the water. Before he could hold out his hand
for the bangle, he was inside the tiger.) Swami had never thought that
this story contained a moral. But now he felt that it must have one
since the question paper mentioned it.
He took a minute to decide whether the moral was: 'We must never
accept a gold bangle when it is offered by a tiger' or 'Love of gold
bangles can cost one's life'. He saw more logic in the latter and wrote it
down. He tried to check his paper after that but before he had read a
few lines of the first question, he was bored. He then set his pen to
work and went on improving the little dash under the last line
indicating the end, till it became an elaborate complicated pattern. Ten
minutes had passed. He saw two or three boys giving in their papers
and going out, and felt happy. He briskly folded his paper and
submitted his paper too.
