How was the man deceived by the elephant?ORHow did the elephant trick the man to gain entry into his hut and push him out?

Answer»

The elephant asked the man if the man would let the elephant put his trunk inside the hut of the man in order to protect the trunk from the torrential rain. After putting the trunk inside the hut, the elephant slowly pushed his head inside and finally threw the man out of the hut, in the rain. Thus we see the selfless act of a man who allowed his friend – the elephant – to put his trunk inside his hut when there was heavy rain, getting rebuffed. The elephant, instead of remaining grateful, encroached upon the hut of the man and threw him out.

10.

What did the man finally do in order to get justice?ORWhy did the man finally set the newly built bigger hut on fire, in ‘The Gentlemen of the Jungle’?

Answer»

After being repeatedly pushed out of his own huts, the man thinks of a plan to safeguard his rights. He knows that he cannot put up a fight against the powerful animals. Hence, he decides to give them a taste of their own medicine. He builds a hut which is big enough to accommodate all the animals. As he had expected, all animals, including Mr Lion, come to the hut and soon there ensues a fight among all. Making use of the opportunity, the man sets his hut on fire and along with the hut, all animals gathered in it are also dead. What the man couldn’t achieve by using muscle power, he achieves by using the brainpower. Thus, the man gets justice by taking law into his own hands.

11.

What is the moral of the story ‘The Gentlemen of the Jungle’?ORWhat is Jomo Kenyatta’s message to the readers?

Answer»

Jomo Kenyatta’s message in ‘The Gentlemen of the Jungle’ is clear. He doesn’t mince words to suggest that if righteousness fails, the wicked should be tackled by taking recourse to devious ways. As it happens in contemporary society, we see that the rich and the powerful can buy justice and the poor man is denied his rights. His exploitation continues unabated for a while. But, as history has shown, when the haves exploits the have-nots, sooner or later there will be a revolt of the underdogs of society. Often such revolts have been bloody. Likewise, we see that when the man cannot get justice through proper legal ways, he uses a cunning trick. All the animals dig their own graves because they do not know how to contain their greed. The man’s victory is a warning to the selfish and the powerful. Jomo Kenyatta makes it clear that the mighty perish in their own might and the slain survives the slayer.
