Question

Why does not Anil hand the thief over to the police? Do you think most people would have done so? In what ways is Anil different from such employers?(The Thief's Story)

Answer 1

Answer:

Anil realized that his money was stolen the previous

night since the notes were wet when he woke up

and it had rained the previous night which made it

clear that the notes were out in the weather.

However, he did not say anything to Hari. Neither did

he hand him over to the police. There can be many

reasons behind this decision of Anil. One, he was a

good man and he knew how difficult it was to live in

poverty since he himself made money by fits and

starts. His profession (a writer) signifies a sound

and mature mind which can differentiate between a

criminal at heart and a criminal by circumstances.

since Hari had returned, Anil knew that he had

realized his mistake which was, probably, enough

for him to learn a lesson in life.

On the contrary, many other people would have

taken the opposite decision and would have handed

Hari to the police.

The fact that Anil fed Hari meals, taught him, did not

say anything to him despite knowing that he made

some money when he went to the market for some

purchases and did not hand him over to the police

make him very different from the other people.
