Answer 2

‘Two Gentlemen of Verona’ is a beautiful and touching story of two small boys who worked really hard in the  city of Verona. One day, the narrator met these boys in Verona. They were selling wild strawberries. When asked about  their age and name, they told him that Nicola, the elder was 13 whereas Jacopo, the younger, was 12. Next day, the  narrator found them doing ‘brisk business’ in shoe-shining.

When the narrator asked them the reason for changing  their business, they told him that they did many things. For the next few days, the narrator found them shining shoes,  selling fruits, hawking newspapers, conducting tourists round the town and so on. The narrator became eager to know  why these children worked so hard.

He even realised that despite their hard work, they never spent any money on  themselves.  Their clothes were dirty and they usually ate black bread and figs. He teased them by asking them if they had  plans to emigrate to America. To this, they replied in negative saying that they had other plans. Then Jacopo requested  the narrator to help them reach Poleta, 30 km. from Verona. The narrator agreed and took them there the next afternoon.  

In Poleta, they drew up at a large villa and rushed inside. He later came to know that it was a hospital where their sister,  Lucia, was under treatment for tuberculosis of the spine. He asked the nurse about Lucia. She told the narrator that a  bomb had destroyed their family and that these boys grew to hate the Germans.

After the war was over, there was peace  all around. But not in the lives of these children as it was at this moment that they discovered that Lucia was suffering  from the deadly disease. But after getting treatment, she was recovering. He was further informed that her brothers  made the payments every week for her continued treatment. The narrator was touched by the devotion of the two  boys. He could see a ray of hope for human society. Then all three of them came back to Verona.
