प्रश्न
Was the customer interested in the care and feeding of the doves he had bought? If not, why not?

उत्तर
No, the man had no love or liking for the doves. He did not mean to keep them as pets. So he paid no attention to what Mr. Purcell said about the feed and care of birds. Soon after stepping out of the shop, he freed the birds and dropped the cage.
