MP Board · Class 8 · English · The Ungrateful JewellerHow does the story illustrate the contrast between the behavior of the animals and the jeweller?

The story highlights a stark contrast between animal nature and human greed. The wild animals—the tiger, monkey, and snake—demonstrated deep gratitude, loyalty, and helpfulness toward Raman for saving their lives, offering him food, gold, and protection. In sharp contrast, the human jeweller exhibited extreme selfishness, deceit, and unthankfulness by betraying his savior to save himself and gain wealth at Raman's expense.
