VI. Answer in a paragraph.
6. The newspaper carried a report about a village lad who had fought bravely against a tiger, while he
was returning home by the jungle path. Swami argued that a boy could not fight a tiger, it had to be a
strong, grown-up person. His father disagreed saying that courage was more important. Swami was
not ready to accept this. His father then challenged him to show his courage by sleeping alone in the
office that night. While Swami was sleeping there, he saw a dark figure. Believing it to be the devil as
it came nearer, he crawled, hugged and used his teeth on it like a mortal weapon. It turned out to be a
notorious burglar whose loud cry brought others to the scene. The burglar was caught and Swami
became a hero over night.
