2. Why does not Anil hand the thief over to the police? Do you think
most people would have done so? In what ways is Anil different from
such employers?
Ans. Anil does not hand the thief over to the police because he has put
the money back at its place. It shows that he realized his fault. He wants
to make amends for his ways. He must have felt guilty. Anil
wants to give him one more chance and therefore forgives him.
No, in today’s world most people would not have done so. Although it
must be done but such sort of patience and compassion are rarely
found now a days in this human world.

1. Do you think people like Anil and Hari Singh are found only in fiction,
or are there such people in real life?
Ans. No, I don’t think that people like Anil and Hari Singh are found only
in fiction. There are such people in real life also. Although such people
are rare in today’s society. If one is caught stealing, people will first
beat him severely. Then he will be handed over to the police. It should
be realized that a human being is bound to commit error. One chance
for reforming oneself must be given. This is the only way to bring
anyone to right path. Punishing severely is not the only solution.
Strictness can make them absolute criminal.
