Question

"you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink."justify this proverb refering to the story'the beggar'.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The proverb stresses the fact that the learned and the wise are always witting to help us with useful advice. We should take this advice seriously and mould ourselves for the better. We need to put in our efforts to make best use of their advice, ideas and suggestions to lead a successful life. No one can bring about positive changes in our life unless we are open to accept it. Others can only show us the means and opportunities. It is up to us to utilize them. Here the term HORSE is used just as an euphemism.

Explanation:

The story is based on the theme of transformation of a depraved alcoholic through kindness, compassion and selflessness. Olga’s words and noble deeds changed Lushkoff’s heart. He gave up drinking and mended his truant ways. Another theme that runs through the story is gratitude. Lushkoff had become weak because of alcoholism and was no longer able to work. He resorted to telling lies and begging in order to survive. But when he received kindness, he acknowledged it with gratitude and remained indebted to Olga for life.
