A
tree
B
clock tower
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Sitting under the shelter of the clock tower, he ruminated that Anil would probably have given him two or three rupees to go to the cinema. Because he deserted him, he couldn’t cook his meals and run to the bazaar to buy groceries. He would never be able to learn to write whole sentences any more.

Detailed explanation-2: -Anil also told Hari that he could sleep in the balcony. The narrator said that the mean that he cooked must have been terrible as Anil had to give it away to a stray dog. Then he told Hari to go and sleep but Hari decided to stay for a while.

Detailed explanation-3: -The story focuses on basic human values and relationships. It is easier for a thief to burgle a greedy man. It is difficult even for a thief to burgle a careless and honest person. A young boy becomes friends with Anil.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer: The thief realised that Anil knew he had stolen his money because he found some of the notes still wet, as if they were taken out in the rain. He gave a fifty-rupee-note to Hari Singh the next morning, and he promised to give him more money, though he did not have any contract for giving any money.
