Answer:
The text does not make it clear how the narrator and the old man met, but shows that they have a strong contact with each other. If we interpret this, we can consider that they are members of the same family, that the old man is a friend of the speaker's family, or that the narrator works for the old man.
Step-by-step explanation:
"The tell-tale heart" is a short story that features a narrator who tells how he killed an old man that he liked a lot, but that left him in agony because of the eye he had. The old man had an extremely pale blue eye, which made the narrator terrified and insane, preparing an entire plan to kill the old man.
