(a)
The postmaster believes that he saw Ali. What do you think?
Discuss
with your partner and present your views in front of the class.
(b) The postmaster was anxiously waiting
for his ailing daughter's news. On not getting any news he visits his
daughter's town. Now construct a dialogue between the postmaster and
his daughter and enact it.

the solutions has been provided for your reference.
(a)
Initial
impression of the postmaster: sad, expressionless.
Doesn’t
like Ali sitting in the post office everyday.
One
day he loses his temper on him.
Later,
when he is in the same situation as Ali, he realizes his mistake and
regrets it.
It
is perhaps this regret and remorse that makes him see Ali.
Ali
has probably come to pardon him because the postmaster is feeling
very guilty.
(b) The postmaster (relieved to see his
daughter): How are you? I had no news of you. That is why I had to
come and meet you.
Daughter:
Oh Father! I have been so unwell that I could not even get up from
the bed.
Postmaster:
So how are you now?
Daughter:
I am better now but it will take me a few more days to recover.
Postmaster:
Why don’t you come and stay with me for a few days. You will
feel better.
Daughter:
Once I am fully recovered, I will surely come and stay with you. But
right now I feel very weak.
Postmaster:
Okay as you say. But you will feel better if you come with me.
