- 7. Hari Singh begins the story as a practised young thief who befriends Anil only to take advantage of him, even skimming small amounts from the daily shopping. But Anil's behaviour gradually works a change in him. Although not wealthy, Anil generously gives Hari food and, more importantly, begins to teach him to read and write, treating him with warmth and trust rather than suspicion. When Hari finally steals Anil's money and reaches the station to flee, he is stopped not by fear of the police but by his own awakened conscience: he realises that the education and respectability Anil is offering him are worth far more than the stolen cash. He returns the money quietly, and when Anil chooses to say nothing and continues teaching him, this act of trust completes Hari's transformation. Kindness, trust and the gift of learning succeed in reforming him where punishment never could.
