Answer 1

Answer:

                    A face in the dark

A Face in the DarK by Ruskin Bond narrates an incident that revolves around Mr. Oliver, an Anglo-Indian teacher who taught in an English school in Shimla. He often went to Shimla which was a few kilometers away and return by evening. One day while he was returning from Shimla, it was late in the evening and he decided to take a short cut through the pine forests. He carried his torch along and moved briskly. When he was at a short distance from his school, he saw a boy sitting with his head held between his hands and sobbing silently. He asked the boy why he was sitting out there as it was not allowed for the boys to move out of the school. The boy said nothing, still sobbing strangely. Mr. Oliver asked him to lift his face up and when the boy lifted his face up, what Mr. Oliver saw, he was terrified and he started running towards his school. When he saw the watchman with his lantern, he asked him why he was running. Mr. Oliver told him that he saw a boy who had no face, i.e., no eyes, ears, or any other feature on his face. The watchman asked him if the boys face looked like it, and he raised the lantern up to his face. Mr. Oliver saw his face, no eyes, no ears and no features. At that moment the wind blew and put the lamp out.
