Im assuming you're talking about the short story The Bet by Anton Chekhov. so in the bet the banker was certain the young man would not be able to last long. in getting caught up in the argument the banker made a bet with the young man saying he couldn't last 5 years for two million. he was certain the young man wouldn't last long and would prove his point that much more.

Describe one of the main themes of "A Wedding Gift."
ss7ja [257]
Weddings are one of the most auspicious celebrations in India. Choosing a wedding gift is quite a ritual. Most wedding gifts follow a unique theme. This theme in India is mostly related to utility.
Utility goods are one of the main themes of a wedding gift. A coffee or tea set, a coffee maker, a rice cooker, a dinner set, a set of casseroles are the primary choices. Then comes crockery and cutlery sets.
Bedsheets, bed covers, table cloths, table mats are also preferential. Whatever be the present it has to be thoroughly utilised by the newly married couple. Sarees, suit pices, dressing material are also perfect gifts for weddings.
Paintings and photo frames are seldom gifted as they are more of decoration and less of utility. So next time you choose a gift make sure it fulfills the code of utility.
