In what way is the forest pool different from the one which Ranji knew in the Rajputana desert?
Ranji had seen only sticky and muddy pools in the desert of Rajputana. But the forest pool was filled with clean, cool water. At its bottom, he could see the soft round bottom.
The other boy asked Ranji to ‘explain’ himself.
(i) What did he expect Ranji to say?
(ii) Was he, in your opinion, right or wrong to ask this question?
(i) He was looking forward to Ranji apologizing and leaving the pool.
(ii) To my mind, it was wrong for the boy to ask Ranji why without consent he had entered his pool. It was in the forest because it was pool and it was not his property.
Between Ranji and the other boy, who is trying to start a quarrel? Give a reason for your answer.
