Hint:

When answering character-based questions, highlight both the practical reason and the emotional conflict for a complete response.

Answer 1

Step 1: Recall the story.
In “The Thief’s Story” by Ruskin Bond, Hari Singh planned to rob Anil despite being an experienced thief.
Step 2: Difficulty in robbing.
Anil was a trusting and generous person who treated Hari with kindness. This made Hari emotionally attached and hesitant.
Step 3: Conclusion.
Thus, it was not an easy task because robbing Anil meant betraying his trust and losing the chance to learn and reform.
