QUESTION 9
Imagine that Anil catches Hari red-handed when Hari is stealing the money from under the mattress. Compose a short dialogue between the two, which reflects Anil's shock and Hari's repeated apologies.
SOLUTION
Anil Who's that? Hari? What are you doing? Hari Um..nothing; I was just seeing if your money was safe. Anil You mean you were trying to steal my money. You are dressed; you were planning to rob me and run away! Yes, that's it!
Hari I'm sorry, Anil, I'm sorry. Anil How can you steal from the hand that feeds you? I thought you would have improved! Don't you want to read and write properly? Do maths? Hari I did not think about it. I'm sorry, really sorry. Anil Alright, I'll overlook this, providing you promise me never to steal again, from me or from anyone else. Hari Yes, yes, I promise. Will you really forgive me and continue to teach me? Anil Yes. I hope you keep your word. Hari Thank you. I'll keep my word. I promise. Sorry once again.
