Sample Answer:
Mani: Papa, Granny finally agreed to go to Mussoorie!
Father: That’s good, Mani. Her eyes need new glasses badly.
Mani: But she only agreed because I’m going with her.
Father: I knew she wouldn’t leave you alone. She loves you too much.
Mani: I’m excited, but will she be okay walking so far? She’s 70!
Father: Don’t worry, Granny is strong. Just make sure she rests if she’s tired.
Mani: I’ll carry a bedding roll and help her on the path.
Father: Good boy. Take only 100 rupees. It’s all I can spare.
Mani: Granny said she has 50 rupees. We’ll stay in a dharmasala.
Father: Be careful, Mani. Keep her safe, and get those glasses!
Explanation: The dialogue shows Mani’s responsibility and his father’s trust in him, reflecting their concern for Granny.
