THE THIEF'S STORY

I refers to Hari Singh, the narrator of the story who is a 15 year old experienced thief.

He is a fairly successful hand at stealing. He is an experienced thief. He is so clean and swift in his work that he robs people without being caught.

In return of Hari Singh’s work, Anil gives him food and a place to live in.

According to Hari, Anil would be sad not because of the loss of money but because of the loss of trust he had in Hari.

Hari’s experience at theft had made him aware of differences in reactions of peofJle when they’re robbed. According to him, a greedy man shows fear; the rich, anger and a poor man, acceptance.

Yes, Anil realised that he had been robbed, as he gave a fifty rupee note to Hari which was still damp due to the night’s rain.
