immediate help before time.

the arch, to be hanged.
Section C (3x2=6)
Q.13 How did the child look like when the doctor first saw him?
Ans-The
child was a boy. He was perfectly formed. His limp warm body was white and
soft. The cord was hastily slashed. The head lolled on the thin neck. The limb
seemed boneless. His whiteness showed that he suffered from 'asphyxia pallida'.
It meant lack of oxygen in the blood.
Q.14 How did the melon become the future king in poem. "The
Tale of Melon city"?
Ans-The
minister decided that the person who would pass the arch the next day would be
the future king. The next day, it was an idiot who passed the arch, and when
asked who should be the next king, he replied, a melon. According to the
decision, a melon was carried by the ministers and sat on the throne. Thus, the
melon became the next king.
Section D (5x2=10)
Q.15 Describe Andrew Manson's efforts to save the child. How did
he succeed in the end?
Ans-Andrew
Manson had done many efforts to save the child. He had saved the mother and
save the child. He had saved the mother and turned his attention to the child.
The doctor began to search the child among the dirty newspaper below bed. He
was a boy, perfectly form. The child's warm. body was white and soft. The head
lolled on his thin neck. The limbs seemed boneless. It seemed that he suffered
from lack of oxygen in the blood. Instantly, the doctor was on his feet.. His
mind raced back to a case. He resorted to the same treatment now.
The
doctor demanded hot and cold water in two basins. Like some crazy juggler, he
hurried the child between the two. Fifteen minutes passed a hopeless sense of
defeat presses on him. But he still persisted in one last effort. He rubbed the
child with a rough towel. The pigmy chest gave a short heave. The doctor
redoubled his efforts feverishly. The child finally gave a loud cry. A life was
saved.
Q.16 The king in the poem is "just" and
"placed". Does he carry his notion of justice a bit too far?
Ans-The
king in the poem 'The tale of Melon city' is just and placid. The poem
describes a unique king. He is impulsive. Sometime he looks funny and most of
the times the king is ridiculous. The poet calls the king 'just' and 'placid'.
He is neither of the two. His sense of justice is not based on logic and
reason. He can order any person to be hanged on the slightest pretex. The king
is expert in making an issue of a non-issue. The king makes a mountain out of a
mole hill. He carries the things too far. He becomes the victim of his own
stupidity.
Yes,
the king carries his notion of justice a bit too far. This leads him to summon
so many persons- all to be hanged. He lacks sound judgement. He is easily
influenced and convinced. The exaggerated notion of justice invites his own
death. Ultimately, he is hanged to death by his own decree.
