Questions and Answers:
Answer the following questions.
Question 1.
Which is the most humorous action? Give reasons in support of your answer.
Answer:
Little Bobby picked up the statue of Mary and thought that he kidnapped the mother of God. He wrote a letter to God. In his letter he said that he had kidnapped God’s mother. He demanded God to send him a red bike if He wanted to see His mother again. This is the most humorous action of Little Bobby because nobody can kidnap God’s mother. Moreover the boy demanded the gift rather than praying to God for it. It reveals the innocence of the boy. It is fun to know how children sometimes behave innocently to get things.

Answer:
My Letter to God to Get a Bike

Thank you.
Your devotee,
Saratchandra.
Question 3.
Would you like the behaviour of Little Bobby? Why or why not? Give a reason.
Answer:
No, I would not like the behaviour of Little Bobby. I cannot support the action of kidnapping God’s mother. Moreover it is a foolish thing to get things by using mean ways. I like to get things I want with good behaviour, love and affection. I believe that God will give everything to me in time if I really deserve.
