I) Read the following passage and
answer the questions that follow.
Bayaji was nonplussed. For a moment, he was
tempted to knock him down with his box but realised that he couldn't afford to
do so. Besides, now he had come back to his village for good. He was to spend
the rest of his days on this soil and would be interred in the same soil. He
would not be able to return to Pune or Bombay hereafter. It was not a good
policy to incur the hostility of anyone in the village, least so of the Patil,
the village headman.
So he said in a meek tone, 'Sir, why spring this
on me even before I set foot on the soil of my forefathers? I have to stay here
till the end of my life.'
'Why? Aren't you going back to your job?' asked
Bhujaba. 'No sir, my service is over, I've turned sixty.' With this Bayaji
lifted the load from his head a little to place it in position.
'Then you've collected your fund amount?' Bhujaba
was taking his measure. 'Yes, sir', Bayaji replied with pride. 'How much?'
Bhujaba asked greedily. 'Not much, what can a daily worker earn?' Bayaji
answered. 'Why won't you mention the figure, man?' Bhujaba persisted artfully.
'Some two and a half thousand rupees.' Bayaji
gave the correct figure.
'Bayaji, you have a heavy load on your head. Go
to your house first. We'll talk at leisure later.' Bhujaba said in mock
sympathy.
1. Why does Bayaji decide not to fight back when
Bhujaba insults him?
