Read the prose carefully and answer the questions based on
it:-
It was a scorching
summer. The small court room was very hot. The clerks were feeling very tired
and hungry.
It was nearly time for the 'lunch-break' and the judge felt relieved
when the last case came up. A fat and short man about 40 years was brought
before the judge.
He was accused of
stealing a cheap watch from the house of a wealthy man. There was a single
witness who had seen that man outside that house one dark night.
On further
questioning, the witness declared that he wasn't very sure whether this was
the man he had seen. Thus, the judge decided to dismiss the case due to lack
of adequate proof.
All this while,
the short fat man had a very 'foolish' expression on his face and he kept
looking at the judge very stupidly as if he hadn't understood anything.
Seeing his 'confused' expression, the judge asked him politely if he
wanted to say or ask anything. The man nodded his head and asked, "Excuse
me Sir but do I have to give back the watch or not?"
