“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?
Hints : Saturday – half day – geography test that he dreaded/feared – had planned to see the fireworks at their neighbor Bose’ residence – all his friends were looking forward to it.Was Subal a good father? Give reasons to support you answer.
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?
Hints : Lozenges – tempted Sushil – instead he gave him a bowl of bitter brew – locked him in –Why did Sushil wish to be an old man?What for did Subal wish to become a young child?Why was Sushil not happy after he became an old man? 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?’
5. ‘I’ve a terrible stomach-ache,’ said Sushil promptly, ‘I can’t go to school today.’ Subal saw through the trick at once and said to himself, ‘Very well. I know how to teach you a lesson.’ 6. He turned to Sushil. ‘A stomach-ache, eh? You’d better* stay in bed then. You are not to go anywhere. I had bought some lozenges for you, but you’d better not have them. Just lie down quietly while I go and prepare a brew for your stomach-ache.
7. Subal locked his son in, and went off to prepare a bowl of a really bitter brew. Sushil was in a quandary. He loved lozenges and loathed anything bitter, especially the brews his father made. And he was dying to go to the Bose’s. But now there seemed to be no chance. When Subal returned to the room with a big bowl of bitter brew, Sushil jumped out of bed saying, ‘I am fine now, my stomach-ache has gone. I’m going to school.’ ‘You are not going out anywhere today’, said Subal. ‘Drink this and lie here quietly for the rest of the day.’ He forced the brew down Sushil’s reluctant throat, locked the door from outside, and left.
Sushil burst into tears and wept buckets the whole day long. He told himself over and over again, ‘lf only I could be as old as my father, I’d be able to do whatever I wanted to. No one would be able to lock me in like this.’ 9. Subal sat outside and thought, ‘My parents pampered me so much when I was young. I could never study as much as I ought to have done. If only I could be young once again, I wouldn’t waste a single minute playing. I’d spend all my time studying hard.’ 10. And it so happened that the goddess, who grants wishes, was passing by just then. She heard both Subal and Sushil and decided to grant them both their wishes. Appearing before Subal, she said, ‘Tomorrow morning you will be as young as your son.’ To Sushil she said, ‘From tomorrow you are going to be as old as your father.’ Both father and son were delighted.

Summary of 'When Wishes Come True.'
Explanation:
- The story titled 'When Wishes Come True' by Rabindranath Tagore discusses the strange dreams of Subal, a father and his son named Sushil. Both of them were willing to exchange each other's roles.
- Sushil was willing to enjoy a grown-up and independent life while Subal wanted to have a student life who could spend the whole day studying without having any responsibilities.
- Their wish eventually was granted by the 'Goddess of Wishes.' This role reversal brought a tub full of troubles and difficulties for both of them.
- Sushil finds it difficult for him to eat sweets or play or climb on trees with his old bones and made fun of by the passer-byes while Subal began to starve being stuck to the same old diet and feels rheumatism.
- Thus, the two get fed up with this exchange of roles and wish to be the same. Finally, while sleeping at night, they are turned into their original states by the goddess.
