that one should always attend to all that was going on and then do what was
most needful. Again others said that it was impossible for a man to decide

3. How did the Tsar nurse the wounded man?
Ans. The
sun was about to set. Then a wounded man came running out of the wood. He fell
fainting on the ground before the Tsar. The tsar and the hermit united the
man’s clothing. There was a large wound in the man’s stomach. The Tsar washed
it as best as he could. He bandaged it with his handkerchief and with the towel
of the hermit. But the blood was flowing. Repeatedly the Tsar removed the
bandage. He washed and rebandaged the wound. At last the blood stopped flowing.
The wounded man revived. The Tsar gave him fresh water to drink. With the help
of the hermit he carried him into the hut of the hermit and laid him on the
bed. Lying on the bed the wounded man closed his eyes and was calm. Thus the
Tsar nursed the wounded man.
4. How did the
enemy of the Tsar become friend in Leo Tolstoy’s “The Three Questions’?
Ans. In
the prose “The Three Questions” we came to know that the bearded man was nursed
by the Tsar. The Tsar washed the wounds repeatedly and bandaged his wound till
blood stopped flowing. He gave him fresh water to drink. The Tsar carried the
wounded man with the hermit’s help into the hermit’s hut and laid him on the
bed. Thus the Tsar saved the life of the wounded man. Tsar’s service changed the mind of the
wounded man. It transformed the Tsar’s avowed enemy into a faithful servant.
The bearded man didn’t want to take any revenge on the Tsar for his brother’s
execution and the seizure of his property. The bearded man asked for the Tsar’s
forgiveness. Finally the Tsar got the friendship of his enemy by showing
kindness to him. Thus The Tsar was happy to make peace with his enemy so easily.
5.”You are already
answered”.—Do you agree with this line which was given by the hermit ? If so
give three reasons of your answer.
Ans. In the prose “The Three Question” I came to know that the
Tsar was answered indirectly. The answers were pertinent and logical.
·
Firstly, according to the hermit the
most important time is present. That is right because the Tsar spent his
present time by digging beds and he escaped death.
·
Secondly, the hermit said that most
important person is one whom you are with. That also right because the Tsar
nursed the wounded man with carefully and
as a result he got an enemy into a friend.
·
Thirdly, the hermit said that the most
important work is to do good to the people around you. That is also true. The
Tsar worked for the hermit first and wounded man thereafter. At that time he
was escaping death gaining friendship and got the answer of his questions.
6. Why did the Tsar help the hermit to dig ? How did his
work at the hermit’s place help him ?
Ans. In the prose “The Three Question” we came to know that
Tsar went to meet with a hermit to get the answer of his questions. In the
hermit’s hut the Tsar saw that the hermit was frail and weak. He was digging
beds in front of his hut. Each time he stuck his spade into the ground, he
breathed heavily. The Tsar said that he wanted to dig the beds and took the
spade from the hermit and started to dig the ground. He wanted to give some
respite to the old man.
The Tsar gave
two different kinds of result. Firstly, as he was busy in digging and he was
free from the certain death. Secondly, he saved his enemy and got his
friendship. Finally, he got the answers of all his questions.
7. Why did the Tsar go to the
hermit? Why did he go there in disguise? What was the hermit doing when the Tsar
met him?
Ans. In the prose “The Three question” we came to know that the
Tsar went to the hermit because all the learned men answered differently and
the Tsar didn’t satisfied with them. So he decided to meet the hermit.
The hermit received only common folk.
So the Tsar put on simple cloth before meeting the hermit.
The hermit was digging the ground in
front of his hut. The Tsar saw him weak and frail. The hermit was breathing
heavily while striking the spade into the ground. The hermit greeted the Tsar
but went on digging.
