Question

On getting a gift of chappals, the beggar vanished in a minute. Why was he in such a hurry to leave?

Answer 1

When the beggar was asked to leave, he raised his eyes and looked fearfully at the road, which was gleaming in the afternoon heat. He knew his feet would burn again. However, when the children got him a pair of slippers, the beggar stared at them in amazement. He hurriedly flung his towel over his shoulder. Then, he pushed his feet into them and left, muttering a blessing to the children. In a minute, he had vanished around the corner of the street. He was tired and his feet were worn out. Since he could not have gotten anything better and Rukkumanni wanted him out of the house, he left in a hurry.
