THE THIEFS STORY

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
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. I should go back to Anil, I told myself, if only to learn to read and write. I hurried back to the room feeling very nervous, for it is much easier to steal something than to return it undetected.17. Why does Hari return the money?
A
he wanted to learn to write.
B
he was worried about how Anil would feel.
C
he felt bad
D
none of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The lesson “The thief’s story” is written by Ruskin Bond. The lesson narrates how a thief’s life changes when he meets a good human being. The story opens with the narrator stating that he was a thief when he met Anil. Though he was fifteen years old, he was experienced and good at stealing.

Detailed explanation-2: -Anil was a writer who wrote for magazines and made money in fits and starts. He was a very trusting person. Even when he earned a large amount of money, he kept the money under his mattress and not under lock and key. He was generous and paid Hari when he got some money.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hari said that in his short career as a thief he had seen different people react differently on their losses. A greedy man’s face showed fear, a rich man would get angry and a poor man would show mere acceptance.
