Answer:
The story is centred around a 15-year-old boy who is a small-time thief who keeps on changing his name to conceal his identity and avoid being caught by the police and his previous employers. He continues to execute small robberies and trick people until he meets Anil. He introduces himself as Hari Singh while Anil is watching a wrestling match. Hari Singh is desperate to rob someone as he hasn’t tricked anyone for the past few days. Anil seems an easy target for Hari Singh as Anil was a simple man.
Hari asks Anil whether he can employ him or not and Anil says that he cannot employ him and pay him but he does assure that he can feed him if he knows how to cook and to that Hari Singh lies that he knows how to cook as he has an ardent desire to rob Anil.
Hari began his job that included making tea for Anil in the morning, buying groceries, and cooking dinner. On his first day, he cooked tasteless and bland food which Anil fed to the stray dogs instead of rebuking Hari. When Hari used to go to buy groceries he used to keep the leftover balance amount of 1 or 2 rupees with himself and Anil didn’t mind that as well
This spoke volumes louder about the letting go attitude and easy-going nature of Mr. Anil. Anil also taught Hari how to read, write and cook. Hari was on cloud 9 because of it as he thought that now something great would happen in his life. Anil didn’t have a stable source of income and his way of earning was erratic and irregular as he would borrow money from someone and lend it to the other person and when he earned a huge chunk of money he would go and celebrate with his friends.
One day Anil came up with a huge amount of 600 rupees and that is the moment for which Hari was waiting desperately and one night when Anil was asleep, Hari stole 600 rupees and went to the nearest railway station to board the train but his pricked conscience didn’t allow him to proceed further and he came back. He knew no one in the town apart from Anil whom he had robbed and hence, with no alternative he slept on a bench in the park and at that time it was drizzling, so all the notes were wet now
In the morning he returned back to Anil’s home and slid the notes under his pillow where they were earlier kept. Out of 600 rupees, Anil gave him 50 rupees and that note was wet which clearly implies that Anil had figured out the misdemeanor of Hari but there wasn’t a strong reaction towards it. Seeing the genuineness of Anil’s nature, Hari melted and decided to amend his ways and start a new life afresh.
