Answer:
Two characters are described in this part of the story. They are the beggar and the advocate named Sergei. The beggar is begging for some money as he had gone without food for three days.

Answer:

Did Sergei get angry with the beggar? Why?
(Sergei ଭିକାରୀ ଉପରେ ରାଗିଲେ କି ? କାହିଁକି ?)
Answer:
Yes, Sergei got angry with the beggar because the beggar repeatedly told a lie that he was a village school teacher for eight years, and he had lost the job for one year, so he was begging to reach the place where he had got a job. But Sergei remembered that the day before yesterday he met him in Sadovya street where he was telling him that he was an expelled student.

Question 5.
Do you think the beggar was lying? What made him tell lies?

Answer:
Yes, the beggar was lying. He was a drunkard and became physically weak. He was unwilling to work. So, to make his living he was telling lies. He knew well that he would get nothing from others by telling the truth.

Question 6.
Did Sergei help the beggar to find work? What kind of work did he suggest for the beggar?
(Sergei ଭିକାରୀଟିକୁ କିଛି କାର୍ଯ୍ୟ ପାଇବା ପାଇଁ ସାହାଯ୍ୟ କଲେ କି ? କେଉଁ କାର୍ଯ୍ୟ କରିବା ପାଇଁ ସେ ପ୍ରସ୍ତାବ ଦେଲେ ?)

Answer:
The advocate asked the beggar to do hard work like chopping wood. It was a help because he wanted him to survive by straggling hard. He wanted him to understand the meaning of work and labor. As a result, the beggar could keep himself away from a dirty job like begging.

Question 8.
Do you think the beggar would give up begging and work for Sergei?
(ତୁମେ ଭାବୁଛ କି ଭିକାରୀଟି ତା’ର ଭିକ୍ଷାବୃତ୍ତି ଛାଡ଼ି ଦେଇଥ‌ିବ ଏବଂ Sergeiଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ କାମ କରିଥ‌ିବ ?)

It was Sergei’s cook, Ogla, who really saved and changed the beggar’s life. In the wood shed, the beggar was unable to chop wood. Olga chopped wood for the beggar. She repeatedly cursed him for his drunkenness. She sat down opposite him, looked into his face, and wept. She told that there was no pleasure for him in this world.

Answer:
Sergei’s cook Ogla is the character whom we like the most. Because she became very much concerned with the problems of the beggar. She wept for him. She even used to chop the wood for him.

Question 1.
Who were Sergei and Lushkoff. Describe their first meeting?
(Sergei ଏବଂ Lushkoff କିଏ ଥିଲେ ? ସେମାନଙ୍କର ପ୍ରଥମ ସାକ୍ଷାତ ବିଷୟରେ ବର୍ଣ୍ଣନା କର ।)
Answer:
Sergei was an advocate and Lushkoff was a beggar. Sergei met Lushkoff, when he was begging by telling him that he was a village school teacher for eight years and had lost his job for one year. So being jobless he has nothing to eat and no money for lodging. So he requested people to have pity on him. He also requested Sergei to help him with some money as he had an offer of a post in the province of Kaluga, but he had no money to reach there.
But it seemed to Sergei as if he had seen that beggar somewhere before. When his eyes fell on the beggar’s overshoes, he remembered that he had met him the day before yesterday in Sadovya street, who was begging there telling him that he was an expelled student.

Question 2.
Did Lushkoff become a beggar by circumstances or by choice? What reasons did the beggar give Sergei for telling lies?
(ପରିସ୍ଥିତି କିମ୍ବା ପସନ୍ଦLushkoff ଭିକାରୀ ହୋଇଥିଲେ ? ସେ Sergeiଙ୍କୁ ମିଛ କହିବାର କାରଣ କଣ ବୋଲି କହିଥିଲେ ?)
Answer:
Lushkoff became a beggar of circumstances. Formerly he sang in a Russian choir. He lost his job for drunkenness. Since then he had earned his living by begging. He told Sergei that he was compelled to tell lies. Because no one would give him anything if he would tell the truth. He also did not find any work to do by which he could earn his living.

Question 3.
Why did Lushkoff agree to chop wood? What were the other things Lushkoff had to do?
(Lushkoff କାହିଁକି କାଠ କାଟିବାକୁ ରାଜି ହେଲେ? Lushkoff ଅନ୍ୟ କ’ଣ କରିବାକୁ ପଡିଲା |
Answer:
Rushkoff agreed to chop wood because he was trapped by his own words. He did not agree to chop wood because he was hungry and wanted work, but simply pride and shame compelled him to do so. He even did not have the slightest inclination for labor. Besides, chopping wood, Lushkoff did some other things. He had to shovel snow, put the woodshed in order, and beat the dust out of rugs and mattresses. Even he helped Sergei in the packing and hauling of the furniture when Sergei moved into another house.

Question 4.
Collect information about Sergei’s cook and write a short paragraph.
(Sergeiଙ୍କର ରୋଷେୟାଙ୍କ ବିଷୟରେ ତଥ୍ୟ ସଂଗ୍ରହ କରି ଏକ ଅନୁଚ୍ଛେଦ ଲେଖ ।)
Answer:
Olga was Sergei’s cook who was a kind-hearted lady. She was sympathetic towards Lushkoff and chopped all the wood for him in Sergei’s wood shed. She told him that there was nothing for him but ruin. She looked into his face and wept. She also told him that there was no pleasure for him in this world. There would be none in the world to come for him. She referred to him as a drunkard who would bum in hell. She could change her attitude toward Lushkoff through her words and noble deeds. For her, Lushkoff gave up drinking and set on the right path. Strictly speaking, she was the only person who saved Lushkoff from being mined.

Question 5.
What made the beggar change his way of life?
(ଭିକାରୀଟିର ଜୀବନଧାରା କେଉଁଥ୍‌ପାଇଁ ପରିବର୍ତ୍ତନ ହୋଇଥିଲା ?)
Answer:
Olga’s words and deeds made the beggar change his way of life. Ogla told Lushkoff, the beggar that there was nothing for him but min. She sat down opposite him and looked into his face and wept. She persuaded Lushkoff not to drink wine. She even used to chop the wood for Lushkoff. So her soothing words and noble deeds changed his heart and he stopped drinking. Then his lifestyle began to change.

Question 6.
Which character do you like the most and why?
(ତୁମେ କେଉଁ ଚରିତ୍ରଟିକୁ ସବୁଠାରୁ ଅଧ‌ିକ ଭଲ ପାଉଛ ଏବଂ କାହିଁକି ?)
Answer:
I like Olga the most. She was a cook of Sergei. Sergei sent Olga with Lushkoff to the wood shed to chop wood. It was Olga who changed the attitude of Lushkoff, the drunkard. She felt deep sorrow for Lushkoff’s miserable health condition. She even did not hesitate to chop wood for him. She was a kind-hearted lady with a compassionate attitude. She helped Lushkoff to such an extent that Lushkoff was compelled to change his mind and stopped drinking. Henceforth he began to lead a life with dignity.

Question 7.
Write a short paragraph suggesting some ways for abolishing the practice of begging in our country.

Answer:
Begging is an embarrassing profession. This practice hampers the dignity of the country. It is a major problem in our country nowadays. Some people think it is easy to make living. So we find beggars in large numbers in streets, in front of the temples, and in other places. So the practice of begging should be abolished. Government should take some steps to settle the professional beggars. They should be engaged in some constructive activities. They should be taught about the dignity of labor. All of us should be conscious of this problem and try our best to change our attitude.
