Summary of story Fritz by satyajit Ray

Answer 1

'Fritz' is a recount of the author Shankar when he goes with his friend Jayanto to Bundi in Rajasthan. Jayanto's father worked in the Archeological department and he has vivid childhood memories of Bundi during his stay at Bundi. He looks unusually perturbed and lost and narrator tries share his feelings. He talks about a deodar tree which stood in the open and he tells about his encounter with a European there. 

Then he goes on sharing his experience with Fritz which was a Swiss doll his uncle brought from Switzerland. Gradually Jayanto grew very fond of Fritz. Once some dogs catch hold of Fritz and ruin it. Jayanto buried Fritz near the deodar tree. 

In the night, Jayanto can't sleep well as he was twice awakened by something strange, Firstly a sound, and then the pug marks of what looked like a rodent. They try to find it out but in vain. Next day, the author contemplates on digging the place near the deodar tree to take out whatever would be left of Fritz. He wanted to dispel fear from his friend's mind. Though he had no hope of getting much from the remains of the doll that was buried thirty years before, when the gardener dug the place he found a human skeleton of a foot, that's what was the size of the doll. Both the friends are terrified at the finding, for it meant that Fritz still longed for Jayanto and his company,
