Question

Why did Varmaji bribe his grandchildren? How did Rakesh react to his behaviour?

Answer 1

Varmaji bribed his grandchildren with coins so they would buy him jalebis, which were forbidden under Rakesh’s strict diet. When Rakesh discovered this, he angrily accused his father of encouraging his young son to lie to his parents. He also warned that sweets bought from the bazaar could expose the family to diseases such as cholera and typhoid. The child was scolded and smacked.
