Give a short description of a old man walking to the town |
|
Answer» There was an old man who was passing through the town, he was constantly pulling his torn clothes again and again, and wrapping himself in them in order to protect himself from the cold and chilly wind.As it was very early in the morning, the streets from which he used to pass were empty. The noise of grinding mills (people used to use it at that time for grinding seeds and flour) and sweet voices of women singing at their work were the only sounds that could be heard. They accompanied the old man on his otherwise lonely journey.There was no sound except the barking of dogs, footsteps of workmen going to work, and the screech of birds who got disturbed in their sleep. The entire town was very silent, as silent as being dead. The cold weather put everyone to sleep. The write compares the cold weather to an enemy in the guise of a friend. An enemy, who is disguised as a friend, lures his prey with a comforting and affectionate smile. Similarly, the cold weather befriends the people with the comfort of sleeping for long hours but actually the people are nearing death.The old man was shivering because of the cold, but firm and determined to walk; slowly he came out of the town gate onto the main road. By the time he reached the straight road he got more tired which made him even slower. He used the stick for support while walking. As it was an open area, there were trees on one side of the road and a public garden on the other,the wind was stronger which made the cold more intense. The sky seemed to be darker, only the morning star were visible ( it could be Mercury / Venus /\xa0Sirius which appear in the sky before sunrise and are known as morning stars.). He found it difficult to walk on the straight road as the wind was blowing and the cold became more intense. Buddha aadmi seher ja raha hai |
