Better late than never story.
This is a story about an old man who lived in a village. He had two sons and one daughter. They were all well settled in their city life. His children would send him money every month so that he did not have any crisis. They also used to send letters to know about his well being.
Once in a year his sons and daughter would come to pay a visit to him but for the rest of the year his only source of communication was the letters. sometimes he would go to the post master of the village to read the letters for him because he did not know to read and write. The postmaster always used to help the old man reading and writing the letters for him.
But unfortunately that post master died and a young postmaster got appointed. That young postmaster was a rude person who did not want to help the man. Slowly his way of communication with his children got cut off. He use to remain very upset.
One day the head master of the village school came to him and asked about his disappointment. The old man told him that because of his being illiterate he is facing trouble to get in touch with his children. He described how he never went to school because of his commitments towards his family. After listening to the his problem, the head master gave him a solution that instead of asking help from others he should once again start going to school and read and write.
The old man said everybody would laugh at him at this age studying. The headmaster told is better late than never. So following his advice the man joined the night school and started reading and writing. within few months he started writing letters to his children and getting their answers too. By then he did not have to go to anyone to read the letter. That day he was clear on the proverb that better late than never.
Answer:
B. A ship is compared to a book.
Explanation:
Emily instigates the eager verse sweethearts through this ballad to take on verse for the delight of perusing which conveys you to removed spots envisioned by the person. It is a piece of provocation for the poem lovers who love to read.
In the poem, a book is the best and most feasible arrangement or choice to flutter or journey as opposed to a ship. It is to some degree near sleep-walking. Emily further proceeds to state that no more war-ponies are there which could divert somebody to far spots. The pages of a book are reasonable and they can convey one to far off spots with their moving content in contrast with those costly steeds. She gives a reasonable sign of her emotions towards the mistreated class. Further on she offers a chance to the poor who can undoubtedly through the lines of book cross all over without being charged a solitary penny. At last, she closes saying that the book fills in as the most affordable and reasonable chariot which conveys the human personality and soul to far off spots.
