Answers
Answer:
Pritam is a fifty-year-old Sikh man; he drives a rickety truck on the mountains. He makes two trips every day and carries limestone quarries from the blasting site to the depot at the bottom of the hill. Pritam’s two sons live in Punjab and he will retire soon to live with them in Punjab. Pritam is a fast and reckless driver despite knowing that the roads in the mountains are tumultuous and narrow and curved.Pritam loves his truck and he often blare the horn loudly – he loves the music of it. Despite getting warning from people, Pritam doesn’t listen to anyone and continues driving the truck recklessly. Well, one day after loading the truck and with some labourers on it, Pritam starts the truck for the depot. He is driving fast and out of nowhere on a narrow road a stray mule appears in the middle of the road, Pritam loses the control, as a result the trucks careers off the road, and it rolls twice before it is stopped by a strong tree. Labourers jump off the truck and Nathu finds himself among the nettles. Pritam breaks some of his bones and in an hour’s time he is taken to the hospital.
