Question

There were other boys in Manjari village, but Bisnu was the only one who went to school. His mother would
not have fussed if he had stayed at home and worked in the fields. That was what the other boys did, all
except lazy Chittru, who preferred fishing in the stream or helping himself for the fruit of other people's
trees. But Bisnu went to school. He went because he wanted to. No one could force him to go and no one
could stop him from going. He had set his heart on receiving a good schooling. He wanted to read and write
as anyone in the big world and so he walked to school every day.
A colony of langoors lived in the forest. They fed on oak leaves, acorns, and other green things and usually
remained in the trees, coming down to the ground only to play or sun themselves. They were beautiful,
supple-limbed animals, with black faces and silver-grey coats and long, sensitive tails. They leapt from tree
to tree with great agility. The young ones wrestled on the grass like boys.
A dignified community, the langoors did not have the cheekiness or dishonest habits of the red monkeys of
the plains; they did not approach dogs or humans. But they had grown used to Bisnu's comings and goings
and did not fear him. Some of the older ones would watch him quietly, a little puzzled. They did not go near
the town; because the boys threw stones on them. And anyway, the forest gave them all the food they
required. Coming from another direction was a second path, and at the junction of the two paths Sarru was
waiting for him. Sarru came from a small village about three miles from Bisnu's and closer to the town.
They hailed each other and walked along. They often met at this spot, keeping each other company for the
remaining two miles.
*There was a panther in our village last night', said Sarru.
This information interested but did not excite Bisnu. Panthers were common enough in the hills and did not
casually present a problem except during the winter months, when their natural prey was scarce.
Did you lose any animals' asked Bisnu.
No, it tried to get into the cowshed, but the dogs set up the alarm. We drove it off.'
must be the same one which came around last winter. We lost a calf and two dogs in our village."
asn't that the one that left the shikaris wounded? I hope it hasn't become a cattle-lifter'.
could be the same. It has a bullet in its leg. These hunters are the people who cause all the trouble. Th
k it's easy to shoot a panther. It would be better if they missed altogether, but they usually wound it.'
