(Hint; compare, for example, the thought: “I knew that once I could write like an educated man there would be no limit to what I could achieve” with these later thoughts:” whole sentences, I knew, could one day bring me more than a few hundred rupees. It was a simple matter to steal – and sometimes just as simple to be caught. But to be a really big man, a clever and respected man, was something else”.) what makes him return to anil?
Ans: Hari Singh believed in the beginning that if he could read and write like an educated man there would be no limit of his achievements. But later his reactions to the prospect of education changed. After stealing anil’s money he began thinking. He thought he would be able to get more than a few hundred rupees if he learned whole sentences. Here, money because less important to him.
