“But people are not always true to their names.” Is this statement true about Sushil and Subal? Explain.
Yes, the names of Susheel and Subal do not do justice to the two people who bear those names. Sushil means ‘well-behaved’ but the real Sushil in the story is not well-behaved. On the contrary, he an impish child who told lies to his father. Similarly, Subal means ‘very strong. He has a very weak body and is suffering from rheumatism.Why was Subal not able to correct Sushil?
Sushil was so naughty that he drove the entire neighborhood crazy. Although Subal tried to punish the young boy, Sushil always got away because Subal was too weak to run after the quick-paced Sushil. Whenever Subal tried to slap the boy, Sushil easily escaped his father’s unsteady blows.Why did Sushil wish to take an off from the school?

No, Subal was not a very good father although he shows some raw traits of a good father. The relation between the father and son doesn’t seem to be very healthy. Subal’s methods of punishing his son appears rude and cruel. He should not have resorted to beating all the time.How did Subal punish Sushil for lying to bunk the school?

Sushil faced several difficulties after becoming an old man. Most importantly, he was too weak to play like his friends. After becoming old, he suddenly lost his childish enthusiasm and cheerfulness. He no longer enjoyed the sports that he used to enjoy with friends.Why did Subal wish to be an old man again?Why did elderly people chase Subal away?
The son Sushil drove the entire neighbourhood mad with his antics. This made his father itch to punish him. Unfortunately, the father suffered from rheumatism while the son could run like a deer. So, most of the intended slaps missed their target. But on the rare occasions when his father managed to catch him, Sushil really had a bad time.
3.The day on which this story begins was a Saturday, and school would be over by two in the afternoon. But Sushil was in no mood to go to school for a number of reasons. To start with, it was the day of the dreaded geography test. Secondly, there was to be a display of fireworks at the Bose’s that evening which everyone was looking forward to. Sushil, too, longed to spend the day watching every bit of the preparation. 4. After thinking long and hard about it, Sushil jumped into bed just when it was time to go to school. Subal looked at him in surprise and asked him, ‘Why are you still in bed? Aren’t you going to school?’
