Answer 2

Answer:

In the story "Children at Work" Velu runs away from home as he doesn't want to be tortured by his father anymore.

Explanation:

• Velu came from a low-income family, so his family had very few resources to get by on. Because of this, he and his sisters were forced to find jobs in order to earn money and provide for themselves by purchasing food and other necessities.
• Velu's life was filled with misery as a result of his alcoholic father, who would frequently come home and beat Velu as well as steal the money that Velu and his siblings had laboured very hard to earn. Because of this, they would go through the day feeling hungry and exhausted.
• Velu finally reached the point where he could no longer take the torment and ran away from home. He makes the decision to take the Kanyakumari express to get to Chennai. 
• The ordeal that many children have to go through just to survive in slums is portrayed in Velu's story.
