Read the following passage. “Can you prove you have courage?” said Father with a scowl. “Let me see if you can sleep alone tonight in my office room.” Swami had always slept beside his granny in the porch. The two always had their beds side by side. Any change in this arrangement kept him trembling and awake all night. He hoped at first that Father was only joking. He tried to change the topic by saying, “Father, our captain says we shall have some elders also in our cricket club. He has asked me to tell you.” “We’ll see about that later,” Father cut in. “Hereafter you must sleep alone.” “From the first of next month, I’ll sleep alone,” Swami said very humbly, trying to please Father. “No, you must do it right from today,” Father said sternly. “Sleeping beside Granny or Mother like a baby is disgraceful. You are now in the Fifth Standard and I don’t like the way you are being brought up.” Now answer the following questions. 1) What should Swami do to prove his courage? 2) Where does Swami always sleep? 3) “Any change in this arrangement kept him-trembling and awake all night.” – What does this tell us about Swami? 4) Why did father insist Swami to sleep alone? 5) What is disgraceful?
