Answer 1

(b) How was Bholi taken to school for her primary education? Bholi was taken to school by her mother. Her mother dressed her in clean clothes, washed her face, and combed her hair. She was reluctant and scared, but her mother persuaded her. They walked together to the village school, where Bholi was admitted to the first standard. Her mother left her there, and Bholi sat quietly in a corner, feeling frightened and overwhelmed in the new environment. Alternate answer if (a) is chosen: (a) What treatment did the doctor give to Tricki? Dr. Herriot diagnosed that Tricki was suffering from overfeeding and lack of exercise. He advised Mrs. Pumphrey to stop all sweet treats and rich food. He kept Tricki at his surgery for a few days, giving him only water, then gradually introduced light meals. He ensured Tricki got plenty of exercise with other dogs. This strict regimen helped Tricki regain his health and vitality.
