Question

The Boy and the Door There was a small shop in a little street in an old town. In the shop there were beautiful things made of silver and gold. The small shop had a door that opened on the little street. The shopkeeper was standing at the open "Come and buy! Come and buy!" called the shopkeeper. "Come into my shop and see all the beautiful things!" again he called. "Come in! I shall show you beautiful things made of silver and gold." One day the shopkeeper had to go away to the king's palace. The king wanted a beautiful gold ring and a silver cup from the shop. The shopkeeper called the boy who worked for him. "I'm going to the king's palace," he said. "You must stay here. Do not leave the door of the shop whatever happens. Do you understand?" "Yes, I understand," said the boy. The shopkeeper went away, and soon he came to the king's palace. He gave the king the ring and the cup. Then he went home. Soon he was back at his shop. He stopped and looked up in astonishment. "What is this?" he cried. "Why are so many people going into my shop?" Then the shopkeeper saw that the door of the shop was gone and so was the boy who worked for him. Just then, the shopkeeper saw the boy. He was in the street near the shop. The boy had the shop door on his back. He was standing in the square looking at some men who were doing tricks. The shopkeeper ran to the boy. "I told you not to leave my shop," he cried. "No," said the boy. "You told me not to leave the door. I did just as you said. I did not leave the door.

Answer 2

1. In this situation, both the boy and the shopkeeper have a valid perspective based on the instructions given. The shopkeeper instructed the boy not to leave the door of the shop, while the boy interpreted it as not leaving the physical door itself. Technically, the boy followed the shopkeeper's instructions by carrying the door with him and staying close to the shop. However, it can be argued that the shopkeeper's intention was for the boy to stay inside the shop and not wander off with the door. Ultimately, it comes down to a miscommunication or misunderstanding between the two.

2. If I were the boy and wanted to go away, I would first try to clarify the shopkeeper's instructions. I would ask for specific details and make sure I understand exactly what he means by not leaving the door of the shop. If the shopkeeper insists that I stay near the door but does not explicitly say I cannot take the door with me, then I could consider taking the door along. However, it is essential to prioritize communication and ensure that both parties have a clear understanding to avoid misunderstandings or conflicts.
