उत्तर
The story explains the truth very clearly as to how it becomes extremely difficult for a man to adjust to the fact and accept defeat after being an achiever. Falling suddenly after gaining extreme heights of glory it becomes very difficult for a person to come in terms with his failure. Every known person in the vicinity knows the success story. Thus, it becomes hard to cope up with the loss, let alone telling people the tragic story.
