उत्तर
If I were Jimmy Wells, I would have been- in a real fix. It would have pained me to discover the truth. I would have invited him for a dinner and talked all night to give up his wicked activities and surrender to the police. I would visit him in jail and discuss his reformed life after his release. I would get a pass for his family members and help them visit him in jail. Request them to tell him how they don’t want the ill-gotten wealth.
I shall encourage his children to plead with him to return to the path of virtue. I shall engage the best lawyers of the country to get him fewer years of punishment. I shall provide him good books to read and organize yoga and meditation seriously for him. I shall take all measures to understand the value of hard-earned money. I know for sure his improved behavior would lessen his term in jail. I would help him rebuild his life. If he needs a journey to start a decent business, I would offer him my support. After all, that is what a friend should do.
