MP Board · Class 8 · English · The Ungrateful JewellerWhy did the jeweller go to the king after Raman showed him the gold ornaments?
Step-by-Step Solution
Raman went to the jeweller's house in Varanasi hoping to sell the gold ornaments given to him by the tiger so that he could earn some money to feed his poor family. However, as soon as the jeweller examined the ornaments, he recognized them as belonging to the King's son, the prince, who had recently gone missing in the forest. Instead of helping Raman or buying the gold fairly, the selfish and greedy jeweller saw an opportunity to win a reward from the King. He asked Raman to wait at his house, went straight to the King's palace, and falsely accused Raman of murdering the young prince and stealing his precious gold ornaments.
