an embarrassing predicament where he was advised to visit the Haunted Desert in
search of ghosts.
2. Was the old woman’s gift to Vijay
Singh eccentric? Why?

Vijay Singh received a lump of salt and an egg from the old woman. Yes, the
gift was unusual since Vijay Singh couldn't comprehend why such a gift would be
given in the desert.
3. Why did Vijay Singh ask the ghost
disguised as Natwar to come closer?
Answer:
Vijay Singh requested that the spirit masquerading as Natwar approach him so
that he could assess his opponent as all skilled wrestlers do.
4. What made the ghost speechless? Why?
Answer:
Vijay Singh put up a brave face. He stared Natwar in the eyes and declared him
to be a simple, lying ghost. The ghost was silent because people used to be
terrified of him when they saw him, but Vijay Singh was brave and confident in
this situation.
5. Why did Vijay Singh say “Appearances
can be deceptive”?
Answer:
Because he wished to disrespect the ghost, Vijay Singh said, "Appearances

1. How did Vijay Singh use the egg? How
did he use the lump of salt?
Answer:
Vijay Singh offered the ghost a rock and instructed him to squeeze it. He
informed the ghost that the rock was brimming with liquid. The ghost couldn't
get the rock to squeeze. Vijay Singh then mocked the ghost and carefully took
the egg in his palm before taking the rock from him. When he squeezed the egg, yellow
fluid trickled down, fooling the ghost into believing he was actually squeezing
the rock.
The ghost was then challenged by Vijay Singh to
break another rock. He replied it was nothing but salt this time. The rock was
too strong for the ghost to crush. Then Vijay Singh took the rock from the
ghost in his palm and put it in his pocket. He broke the chunk of salt and
tossed the rock into the void. Vijay Singh had so demonstrated that he was far
stronger than the ghost.
2. Why did Vijay Singh conclude that the
ghost would not be a worthy opponent to him? Was he fair in his judgement?
Answer:
Vijay Singh felt that the ghost would not be a good opponent because he was
unable to complete any of Vijay Singh's challenges, including crushing the
fluid-filled rock and crumbling the salt-filled rock.
3. Why did Vijay Singh ask the ghost to
accompany him to town next day?
Answer:
Vijay Singh requested that the ghost accompany him to town the next day so that
he could boast that he had defeated a ghost. As his prisoner, he desired the
spirit to accompany him.
4. What made the ghost believe Vijay
Singh was dead?
Answer:
The ghost's thumping on the backrest, which he assumed was Vijay Singh,
elicited no sound or groan. This led the ghost to believe Vijay Singh was no
longer alive.
5. Vijay Singh complained of insects in
the cave. What was he referring to, and why?
Answer:
The ghost had thrashed Vijay Singh seven times with his heavy club, thinking he
was sleeping on the bed.
Vijay Singh claimed that an insect fluttered its
wings seven times on him. He did so to demonstrate that he was so powerful that
the sturdy club's beatings were as ineffective as an insect's flap.
6. Was it really a ghost who Vijay Singh
befooled? Who do you think it was?
Answer:
Vijay Singh was duped by a ghost, not a genuine one. I believe he was a
deceitful human who pretended to be a ghost in order to deceive others. He
would take advantage of their fear and rob them of their belongings.
