Discuss the difference in Soapy's past and present life.

Answer:

The old farmer heard that their pet dog had been killed by the wicked neighbour. He became very sad as if he had lost his own son. He visited the place where his pet dog had been buried. He mourned for the dog for quite a long time. He called him many loving names. He put some bamboo tubes in the ground. He put some flowers in them. He put a tray of food and some water on the dog's grave. He also burned costly sticks of incense. He shed tears and called him as if the dog was alive. He was mentally hurt. He had lost his dear pet dog who was like his own baby. The loss was unbearable for him.

There is a great difference between the past and present life of Soapy as he looks at his past life with fond and happy memories. His past life was full of important relations. In his past life/ he enjoyed flowers, pleasant music, high hopes, clean thoughts and clean clothes. He was a happy boy then.

But his present life is marked by an acute absence of all these happy things. He neither had family members nor friends, food nor shelter. He wears only dirty clothes as he does not have clean clothes. His mind is full of wrong desires and his hopes have died out. He used to imagine to have a big house but now he has a seat in a park instead of a house.
