Answer:
The narrator was a thief.
Although only 15, he was experienced and successful in his work.
Luck was against him and he thought of targeting Anil, a young man of 25 years.
The narrator introduced himself to Anil as Hari Singh.
He changed his name every month to escape arrest.
Hari Singh wanted to work for Anil but Anil had no money to pay him regularly.
Anil had no regular income and used to write for magazines.
Anil asked if he could cook, and Hari Singh lied that he knew how to cook.
Hari Singh cooked the food so terribly that it had to be thrown away to the stray dogs.
Anil asked him to go away but the narrator didn’t leave his company.
Later on, Anil softened and told him that he would teach Hari Singh how to cook.
He also taught Hari Singh to write his name and promised to teach him to write whole sentences and to add numbers.
It was quite pleasant for Hari Singh to work for Anil, and he made a rupee a day from buying the day’s supplies.
One evening, Anil came home with a small bundle of notes as he had just sold a book to a publisher.
Hari Singh saw Anil tuck the money under the mattress.
Hari crept up to the bed, slid his hand under the mattress and took the money out.
Anil sighed in sleep and Hari Singh startled and quickly left the room.
When the narrator (the thief) was on the road, he counted the notes: 600 rupees in fifties.
With that money, he could live like a rich Arab for a week or two.
He could easily jump into the Lucknow Express but hesitated and remained standing at the platform.
