3) How did Leela try to make Sidda write? What was the result? [3+2 = 5] [Annual Exam. = 2014, 2020]

She made him squat on the floor with a pencil and asked him to copy whatever she wrote in the pages of her catalogue. In this way, Leela tried to make Sidda write.
The result was horrible. As Sidda was incapable of plying the pencil, he could not even remotely copy the crow or the letter ‘B’. Leela scolded him and redouble her efforts to teach. Sidda sought relief by saying that her mother was calling her for dinner.

Ans. Mr Sivasanker, Leela’s father was the speaker.
The inspector was furious because Mr Sivasanker did not consult him before he appointed Sidda in his house as a servant.

When Leela’s father was informed about the recovery of the chain, he ordered his wife not to give Leela any chain thereafter. All the problems were created on account of her. Mr Sivasanker did not feel any sympathy or regret for innocent Sidda. Sidda was unjustly put into jail. He would inform the inspector but would not keep the criminal in their house.
8) What message is conveyed by Mr Sivasanker’s final words in the story – “In any case, we couldn’t have kept a criminal like him in the house.” [5]
Ans. Mr Sivasanker’s final words convey a serious message prevailing in our society. Sidda’s criminal background is a curse for him. He is innocent in the case of Leela’s missing gold chain. Yet he was punished. The incident shows that a person who had a previous criminal record would always be neglected by society. They are arrested without any concrete evidence. They are prone to be suspected. On the other hand, we can say that it is a class contradiction between financially strong and weak people. Sidda represents the poor who are always oppressed by the rich.
