Question

why did the narrators mother tolerate his friendship with bodh raj

Answer 1

Bodhraj was a callous boy and every one was afraid of him. The narrator used to feel lonely at home and when Bodhraj made him his friend, the narrator's mother tolerated their friendship for the sake of his son's happiness.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The narrator’s mother tolerated Bodh Raj’s friendship with the narrator, as the friends of the narrator do not visit him often. The narrator’s house was in a town far away from the city, and so he was not visited by his friends often. He was lonely and needed company.

Bodh Raj had cruel intentions and found the narrator’s garden as perfect spot for hunting. He always bullied other children and hurt them. The narrator’s mother disliked this behaviour of Bodh Raj.
