useless. He was depressed after a great loss in all fields. His old

life.In the end as soon as the conditions took the turn he felt
relieved. Now he had all the things with him. The author had not

Q1.Have any of your classmates/schoolmates had an experience
like the one described in the story where they needed help?
Describe how they were helped.
A1.Two years ago, my friend Raju visited the market to buy some
household things. It was a crowded market and a shop caught fire
due to short circuit. The panic-stricken people rushed here and
there. My friend too was trying to leave that place. He with three
people got himself locked in a nearby shop to escape from smoke.
But the shop was filled with smoke within a little span of time. They
felt suffocated by the fumes. They considered that their end was
near. In the meantime, a team of an NGO broke open the shutter
and took them out of the shop. They were hospitalised quickly. I
could get my friend back because of the team and the grace of God.
