Answer:

Explanation:

One day the author of the story "Shoeshine" was standing outside the Tea House in Connaught Circus Delhi when a shoeshine approached him for a shoe polish.

The author refused on the pretext that he could not afford to go for a shoe polish. This made the shoeshine a bit puzzled. He replied back to the author that it would cost him as low as four annas to get it polished.

To thias the author  went on to say that he did not even have four annas in his pocket. This probably hurt the shoeshine and he thought as if the author was trying to make  a fun of him as four annas were considered a amount within everybody`s reach.

Hope this helps.
