Question

Why did Jerome and harris place a bath tub near George bed (CLASS 9 English Chapter-PACKING)?​

Answer 1

Jerome and Harris placed a bath tub near George’s bed so that he would tumble into it next morning and have a bath. As they were to go out for an excursion on the river, they had planned to get up early next morning. Since, George did not like taking bath in the morning, they placed the bath tub next to his bed, so that when he woke up next morning, he would trip into it and take an involuntary bath.
