Read the passage and answer the questions that follow :

As a boy, I spent many happy hours playing the game of gulli-danda. Among my fellow – players was a boy named Gaya. He was the undisputed champion of our gulli club. Whichever side he played for was bound to win. One day, only Gaya and I were playing. I was fielding. I tried all means , including foul ones, but Gaya would not let me go until I had got him out. I had becometired so I ran home.

Soon after this incident, my father was transferred to another town. Twenty years went by and I became an engineer. I visited by chance, the same small town that I had lived in as a child. Nothing was familiar. Suddenly, I saw two or three boys playing gulli – danda . I went up to one of the boys and asked him if a man named Gaya lived there. “You mean Gaya, the cobbler?” asked the boy timidly. “Yes, I think so,” I replied. “Can you call him for a minute?” Soon the boy returned with a man. I recognized my old playmate rightaway just as he recognized me. “I am the engineer of the district now. Do you still play gulli – danda?”

Gaya looked astonished. “Where is the time, sarkar?” he said. “I have to earn my living.” “Come,” I said. “ Today, you and I will play gulli – danda.” Poor Gaya , a labourer on daily wages, had to play with a senior officer. We would play in a secluded spot where there would be no one to watch us. Then, we began to play. I hit the gulli, making it leap up in the air. Gaya tried to catch it, but it fell behind him. He seemed to have lost his old dexterity. No gulli had ever escaped Gaya when we were children! I started batting. That I was out of practice was obvious. But I made up for my lack of skill by cheating at every opportunity. Gaya watched silently. In the old days his gulli had never failed to hit the danda! Now, it missed the danda each time. After some time, I allowed Gaya to bat. He started batting, but poorly and was out soon. We drove back to town as darkness fell with me bursting with joy. Before leaving, Gaya said, “ There is a gulli – danda match tomorrow. All theold players will play. Will you come to watch?”

I went to see the match the following day. The game began. Gaya’s performance that day astounded me. He played with such skill and grace. Now, I knew that the day before, Gaya had only pretended as if he was playing. I had cheated, but he showed no anger, allowing me to win. I was an officer. He was a poor man but I was no equal to him. Gaya, the cobbler, had grown bigger while I, the engineer of the district, had become smaller.
