Why was debu carrying money? What were his worries
Answers
Answer:
Fourteen-year-old Debu lives with his mother and his younger brother Hayat in Milam, a small village in the Himalayan hills of Kumaon, India.
During the trip to Tibet, that his folks took the previous year, his father goes missing, and the tribesmen were close to believing that he must be dead in the snowstorm. But Debu has reasons to believe that his father is alive – he has seen his father’s amulet on the chain of Sonam Darka, a Tibetan.
With the goal of finding his father, and averting the danger of Trilok, his father’s cousin, remarrying his mother, he pleads with his people to let him accompany them on their trading trip this year.
Kalyan Singh, the leader of the caravan, though reluctant at first, eventually concedes, and thus starts Debu’s preparation. When he cannot find anything to trade there, and he is uncertain if his father’s partnership with Dawa Nangal would be honoured without his father’s piece of the stone of partnership, he sets out to find if it is hidden. Accidentally, he discovers some silver tankas, which he takes with him to trade. He has his pony Bijli for company.
