Solution
(i) When Rukku Manni asked Ravi to tell the beggar never to return, the beggar pleaded with them to let him rest a while as the sun was hot and the tar had melted on the road. He then stretched out his feet to show large, pink, peeling blisters on the soles of his bare feet. When Mridu saw the blistered feet of the beggar, she concluded that he did not have any money to buy chappals.
(ii) Mridu asked Ravi if he had any pair of old chappals that they could give to the beggar. Her eyes filled with tears on seeing the unfairness of the situation in which the beggar was, and she suggested that he needed something on his feet.
