the other end of the rope with the trunk of a tree nearby. Hari got

thinner and shorter than his elder brother; in spite of that, he tried his
best and gradually pulled Hari out from the well.

believed it. But their grandfather was an experienced man. He told

Answer: Usually I am not a very brave person but once I got a
small opportunity to show my bravery.
One day, my mother was cleaning and separating the waste and
the disposables from the ones that can be used. Suddenly, I caught
sight of a small earthworm behind my mother and was shocked
as it was right near her feet. I could not even shout since mother
might step on it by getting frightened. I quickly arranged a bucket
and before mother or the earthworm could move an inch, I
inverted an empty bucket on it. Since the bucket was a big one,
the insect got trapped inside. Later, I dragged the bucket quietly
outside in the garden and allowed it to escape outside.
