Answer the following question in 120-150 word

'For the children it is wrapped in wonder, for the elders it is a means of survival.' What kind of life do the rag- pickers of Seemapuri lead?

Or

The peddler believed that the whole world is a rattrap. How did he himself get caught in the same?

 

Answer:

The childern of slums like Seemapuri are the off springs of homeless rag pickers. As they live in want and hunger they start picking rags at an early age. They grow up in make shift shacks, without drainage or running water. For elders, garbage is a means of survival but for children, it has surprises. Finding of a coin or a currency note by chance, thrills them. This profession still gives them a roof over their heads, at least even if it leaks.

Or

The peddler believed that the whole world was nothing but a big rattrap. It baited people in the form of riches and joys. The peddler could not make ends meet, so he had to take to both begging and petty theft. As he got lured by the bait of thirty kroners, the world closed in on him and trapped him. He got lost in the forest. At that moment, he realised that his end was near.
