6. In what way did the shopkeeper make a fool of Rashid? (11)
1. Rashid’s uncle told him not to buy anything in his absence because he knew that the shopkeepers would make a fool of Rashid and cheat him.
2. The shop was called Lucky Shop because the shopkeeper wanted everybody to try their luck. There were discs on the table with numbers from one to ten facing down. All one had to do was to pay 50 paise, pick up any six discs, add up the numbers on the discs and find the total. The article marked with that number went to the person.
3. The old man made 15 rupees by selling the clock back to the shopkeeper.
4. The boy won four prizes. They were a comb, a fountain pen, a wristwatch and a table lamp.
5. Rashid was upset because he had hopes of winning a big prize and he continued trying his luck again and again. But every time he got a trifle. People were looking at him and laughing, but no one showed any sympathy.
6. The shopkeeper made a fool of Rashid by making him believe that it was luck that got the old man and the boy their prizes. They were in fact friends of the shopkeeper who were playing tricks to tempt Rashid. As a result, Rashid tried his luck again and again in the hope of getting a big prize. However, he did not manage to win anything big.
