Answer 1

On my way to the school, I usually see a beggar on the roadside. Yesterday on my way back, I did not see him there. Walking further I saw him limping slowly. Out of the idle curiosity, I followed him. Soon I found that he was caught by some policemen. They held him by the handcuffs and were beating him brutally. I ran to save the poor beggar. I asked them to show mercy to the man, as he was already injured. The policemen asked me not to interfere in the matter. But I could not stop myself from asking them the reason for the harshness on him. After much persistence, the policemen told me that he was actually not a beggar but a thief. He tried burgling the house of a well-known man from the locality last night. The injury happened to him while he was trying to enter the house through the window. The man succeeded in running from the spot before an alarm was rung by the watchman of the house. The policemen also told me that he is the culprit behind the recent burglaries happening in the city, and they are in search of him for past a month. The moment I got familiar with the reality, my feelings of pity and kindness for the man vanished. With this incident, I have learnt that we should not judge one's character by his/her physical appearance.
