Answer 2

The Liar written by Mulk Raj Anand is the theme of friendship, storytelling, respect, jealousy, and innocence. Labhu has the knack to take unexciting things and convert them into an adventurous story. Something which intrigues the narrator.

EXPLANATION:

• Labhu had the ability to take mundane things and convert them into adventurous tales. Labhu’s stories were fantastical in nature and rather unbelievable, although it was clear that on several occasions Labhu kept the narrator enthralled.
• However, all through the story Labhu had never told lies and had used his imagination to amuse others. He had assisted those who had listened to him to flee from life for a transitory moment and enter an enchanted world. A world wherein anything was possible and there were no restrictions. A place where any child would want to live in.
• It was in actuality where children and others were limited by their situations. If anything Labhu managed to craft worlds which captivated the listener. Even if Labhu was prone to exaggeration. Although at times a story requires to be overstated for it to grasp the attention and fancy of the listener.
