"I felt a little sorry, and would have called him back, but I found he was returning of his own accord."

Answer 1

The excerpt from the text that most effectively demonstrates that the narrator's point of view about the Cabuliwallah has changed is "Tears came to my eyes. I forgot that he was a poor Cabuli fruit-seller, while I was—. But no, what was I more than he? He also was a father."

Step-by-step explanation:

As years pass by in this story, and mini became a woman who is about to get married, his father finally understood that even when their backgrounds and the kind of life that each one had, the Cabuliwallah and himself were both doing all to provide their families and looking for the best life they could have, then he sees no difference between them.

Answer 2

The correct answer is "I felt a little sorry, and would have called him back, but I found he was returning of his own accord."

Explanation: In "The Cabuliwallah" by Rabindranath Tagore, the narrator did not like the idea of the Cabuliwallah showing on the day of his daughter's wedding, and denied his request to see her. The narrator begins to feel bad for him, and before the Cabuliwallah leaves, he accepts the gifts he brought for her.
