Question

Read the following passage from "The Cabuliwallah."I took them and was going to pay him, but he caught my hand and said: "you are very kind, sir! Keep me in your recollection; do not offer me money! You have a little girl; I too have one like her in my own home. I thought of my own and brought fruits to your child, not to make a profit for myself."Saying this, he put his hand aside his big loose robe and brought out a small dirty piece of paper. With great care he unfolded this and smooth it out with both hands on my table. It's bore the impression of a little hand, not a photograph, not a drawing. The impression of a Ink smeared hand laid flat on the paper. This touch of his own little daughter had been always on his heart, as he had came year after year to Calcutta to sell his ware in the streets.Tears came to my eyes. I forgot that he was a poor Cabuli fruit seller, while I was- but no, was I more than he?

Answer 2

A. The writer realizes that fatherhood transcends class structure and societal differences

Step-by-step explanation:

Rabindranath Tagore , the author of Cabuliwallah, notices that fatherhood goes beyond class structure and societal differences. The writer is from upper or middle class for he is the one who wants to pay for the fruits the street vendor, Cabuliwallah, has brought to the writer's daughter as a present. Cabuliwallah is a poor man. This man does not want to charge the narrator for the fruits and justifies his attitude by saying that he also has a daughter as the narrator does. He adds he does not want any money because the narrator may need it for his own daughter, besides he does not want to make any profit from it. These words :"....Cabuli fruit seller, while I was- but no, was I more than he? He was also a father.." show the focus on fatherhood within the unequal societal structure.
