What type of text is "The Dead Rat"
Answers
Answer:
Ratnanka was a young boy raised by his mother and grandmother. When he was 15 years old, his grandmother asked him to meet Yakshadatta, a rich merchant of the neighboring town to get a loan to start a business. She told him to promise the merchant as soon as possible. The boy met the merchant who scorned at him and showed him a dead rat. The merchant told the boy to sell the rat and earn money to start his business.
The boy did as he was told and proceeded towards home. On the way, a man bought the rat for his cat and gave the boy some money who bought some grains with it. He then traded the grains and earned some more money. This way, he set up a business that grew in three years. Ratnakaka then made a clay rat and coated it with gold. He took it as a gift to the merchant who gave him the advice. The merchant was also surprised at the boy’s intelligence and got his daughter married to Ratnakaka. Although he became a rich merchant later, he never forgot his roots. His mother and grandmother were also pleased with him.
