Answers
Answer:
Swami and his friend Mani are sitting on the banks of the River Sarayu, a pleasant area near the center of their town, Malgudi. Mani tells Swami that he wants to throw Rajam, a new student at their school, into the river. Rajam dresses well, speaks good English, gets good grades, and has impressed the class enough to be a rival to the powerful Mani. Swami points out that Rajam’s father is the Police Superintendant, but Mani says that he doesn’t care and hints that he might beat up Swami if Swami gets too friendly with Rajam. Swami protests that he hates Rajam, convincing Mani that he, Swami, is on Mani’s side.
As the conflict between Mani and Rajam grows in the following days, Swami acts as their go-between, passing notes full of insults and challenges from one to the other. During class, Swami is forced to stand on a bench as punishment for getting a question wrong. At the end of the day, Swami, Mani, and Rajam gather and Mani and Rajam challenge each other to a fight at the river the following evening. Mani asks Rajam to promise not to tell Rajam’s father about the fight and Rajam agrees.
The next evening, Mani arrives at the river carrying a club, ready to fight Rajam, and Rajam himself arrives with an air gun. The two talk awkwardly for a few minutes and then Rajam asks Mani what he has done to offend him. Mani answers that he had heard Rajam had called him a sneak behind his back, but Rajam denies doing so and says that he wouldn’t mind being friends. Mani agrees that he would also be glad to be friends, and the two drop their weapons. Swami, having secretly admired Rajam, is delighted at the turn of events, and the new friends sit by the river eating cookies that Rajam brought to share.
