उत्तर
Anil started teaching Hari to write his name and promised to teach Hari to write whole sentences and add numbers. This ushered in new hope for Hari that one day he would be able to earn more than he did by robbing. He also decided to pay Hari for cooking as soon as he could, so he wouldn’t have to steal money. And above all, he blindly trusted Hari, which made it difficult for Hari to rob him and run away.
