प्रश्न
Do you think the Potter is telling the truth? Why?
Advertisements
उत्तर
No, the potter does not speak the truth. It is completely impossible that he moulded a defective pot while distracted by the tinkling of anklets. He was responsible for creating a faulty pot. His job was to focus entirely on his work and not be distracted by a passerby. But, like everyone else, he blamed someone else, namely the moneylender's daughter, for his mistakes.
