Advertisements
उत्तर
Though Jansie and Sophie were friends, Jansie was completely unlike Sophie. At the beginning of the chapter Going Places, when we find Sophie telling Jansie about her dream of having a boutique, Jansie, wearing an expression of doubt, tried to talk sense into Sophie by telling her that having a boutique required a good investment. When Sophie replied that she would manage to gather the sum, Jansie again revealed her practical mind by saying that it would take Sophie a long time to gather the required amount. She also told Sophie that she would not be made a manager straight away. This means that Jansie had a fair idea about the hard truth of life, which Sophie lacked. She knew that both Sophie and she were destined to work in a biscuit factory. She knew that Sophie’s dreams were just wishful thinking.
