Question

Why do you think Grandpa gave Ravi a detective story book as a gift? What might this suggest about Grandpa’s awareness of Ravi’s actions earlier in the day?

Answer 1

Grandpa gave Ravi a detective story because he knew that Ravi enjoyed such stories. The gift may also suggest that Grandpa understood that Ravi had secretly followed him earlier and was aware of Ravi’s concern for him. Instead of scolding him, Grandpa responded affectionately.
