Answer 2

Answer:

Halku is a tenant farmer - he grows crops on the land belonging to a landlord. The landlord comes to collect his dues. Halku has only three rupees which is in the custody of his wife. Munni, his wife, refuses to hand over the money because she wants Halku to buy a blanket with that money; Munni knows about the hardships that her husband has to suffer during the cold winter nights while guarding the crops against intruders and animals. Munni wants Halku to give up farming because it scarcely helped in making ends meet; instead, she wants Halku to work as a labourer so that he could be assured of regular wages. It is a cold winter's night, and Halku is out in the field with just an old shawl to protect himself against the biting cold. Apart from depicting the poverty of the farmer, the story also depicts the friendship between man and dog. Jabra is unclean and his body stinks, yet Halku finds the dog to be the most endearing companion. Disregarding the stench, Halku picks up the dog and presses it to his own body; the warmth provided by the dog's body is very comforting! Halku enters a mango orchard near his field. He gathers up the dry leaves and lights a bonfire. The master and dog warm themselves by the fire. The faithful and dutiful dog, however, becomes aware of grazing animals destroying their crops. He leaves the warmth, and darts out into the cold to chase away the animals. But it is so chilly that Halku is unwilling to leave the warmth of the bonfire. He pretends that he is only imagining things, and that Jabra is barking his head off for nothing. But, finally, Halku cannot deceive himself any longer; he knows for certain that grazing animals are destroying his crops. He must get up and chase them away. Halku does make an effort to leave the warmth but the chill forces him to return back to the bonfire, and he soon falls asleep. He is woken up in the morning by his wife. Munni is sad because the crops have been destroyed. But Halku is happy! The reason: he won't have to spend the cold nights in the field anymore because there were now no crops to guard!)
