Question 1.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Is the title, \u201cThe Short-sighted Brothers\u201d apt to the story ? Explain?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Answer:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Yes. The name \u201cThe Short-sighted Brothers\u201d and the content of the story look like made-for- each-other things. The title matches perfectly well with the theme. Three brothers are the lead characters. All the three brothers were very short-sighted. It was a physical disability. And they all suffered from the related mental disability too. They failed to see the possible result of their crooked,plans. They were selfish. They were greedy. They tried to cheat one another. Finally their follies were exposed. As the entire story deals with their physical and mental short- sightedness, the title is appropriate to this ancient chinese folk tale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Question 2.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
How did the three brothers try to outsmart one another ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Answer:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Short-sighted Brothers\u201d is a famous Chiness folk story. It exposes the folly of the three brothers. All the three brothers were very short-sighted. Even their personality suffered from the same flaw. They tried to deceive themselves and one another. The youngest brother one day proposed to take charge of their family finances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He cited his eldest brother\u2019s short- sightedness to support his claim. The second brother too joined the race. The eldest brother proposed a test to prove the power of their sight. They should read the inscription on the newly installed tablet on the door way of the nearest monastery. To outsmart one another, each met the monk secretly and learnt about the writing on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Question 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Were the three brothers successful in executing their tricks ? Support your answer.?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Answer:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
No. The three brothers failed in their efforts. The famous Chinese folk tale \u201cThe Short-sighted Brothers\u201d, explains their failure. All the three brothers were very short-sighted. Once, they wanted to prove the power of their sight. They were to read an inscription. Each learnt secretly from the monk about the writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They thought they could outsmart the others. They visited the monastery the next day. They started READING from the TABLET. Each one READ out. Then the monk came out. He told them that the TABLET was not yet put up! They READ from the TABLET that WAS NOT there! Their folly was exposed. They realised it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Question 4.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Does the story \u201cThe Short-sighted Brothers\u2019 support the wise saying, \u2018Honesty is the best policy\u2019 ? Discuss. * (Imp) (Model Paper)?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Answer:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Yes. Honesty is undoubtedly the best policy. It is certainly very difficult to practise the policy. The story, The Short-sighted Brothers\u2019 proves both these points clearly. All the three brothers were short-sighted. They were selfish. They had no ethical values. They thought they could easily cheat others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They got by heart the inscription \u2018Be Honest At All Times\u2019. But they never understood its meaning or its importance. They followed dishonest means to prove the power of their sight. Their follies were exposed. Thus, they learnt that their deceptive tricks failed. Only honesty shines forever! And through the brothers, the readers too get a valuable lesson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Short-sighted Brothers Summary in English<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
The folk tale, \u2018The Short-sighted Brothers\u2019 makes an interesting reading. With its gripping narration, the story excites the reader thoroughly. In the end takes a sudden twrist, stunning and surprising the reader. Equally shocked were the brothers in the story. It exposes the follies of the brothers, prompting many a reader to introspent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The three aged brothers were the central characters in the story. They were short sighted, both physically and mentally. They were selfish and greedy. Citing their eldest brother\u2019s short- sightedness as a reason, the youngest brother proposed to manage their family finales. He was blind to his own disability. All of them suffered from the same flow, sight problems and lack of values. Yet, each tried to outmart the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Therefore, they planned to test their own vision by reading the inscription above the doorway of nearby monastery. Each knew that he couldn\u2019t read it. So, they secretly and separately enquired with monk there as to what was written on the tablet. And later, they pretended they were reading the inscription with their own eyes. In the process, they fooled themselves they memorised the quotation, \u201cBe honest at all times\u201d. But, they did not adopt it in their own lives! They failed to see the outcome of their evil plans. It was then, that the monk revealed that the tablet was not put up yet. The brothers realized how foolish they were !<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finally, the story clearly shows the physical weakness of the brothers. It also exposes their follies. Hence, we can very strongly say that the title suits the story well. If at once tells us what we are going to find in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
