How a beggar earns his living – Where he lives — The clothes that he wears — How he survives – How people look upon him — How he becomes a source of nuisance — How the problem of begging be solved.
Answer .
The beggar is the most pitiable creature on this earth. He has no land of his own. He has no house to live in. His life is full of miseries . He earns his living by begging for alms . He lives in slums or under the sky. He wears ragged clothes. He survives on the alms given by others. People look down upon him. When he cries (चीखता है) for alms frequently, he becomes a source of nuisance . The government (सरकार) should pay attention (ध्यान देना) seriously for the rehabilitation of the beggars. They should get shelter and a good source of income (कमाई) for their survival (जीना).
