उत्तर
Hari Singh was fifteen years old, but already an experienced and fairly successful thief. He used to change his name frequently so as not to get caught by his former employers, whom he must have cheated, or by the police. He even cheated Anil when he went to buy the daily supply of groceries. However, he wished to receive an education so that he could become a big, respected man who could achieve a lot.
He stole a large sum of money from Anil, but regretted it when he realised that in doing so, he had lost his only chance of getting an education. He is courageous enough to return the money, even though he knows that he may be caught in the process. However, his desire to change himself is so great that it motivates him and gives him the courage to return to Anil

What are Hari Singh’s reactions to the prospect of receiving an education? Do they change over time? (Hint: compare, for example, the thought: “I knew that once I could write like an educated man there would be no limit to what I could achieve” with these later thoughts: ‘Whole sentences, I knew, cloud one day bring me more than a few hundred rupees. It was a simple matter to steal − and sometimes just as simple to be caught. But to be a really big man, a clever and respected man, was something else.”) What makes him return to Anil?
