02: The Old Man at the Bridge by Earnest Hemmingway
- #2On being questioned by the narrator, what did old man tell about himself?Ans : The old man did not move a bit from the roadside even after such a critical situation and chaos. While doing his duty, when the narrator saw him again and again at the same place, he became anxious about his safety and made an enquiry about his whereabouts. The old man told that he came from San Carlos, his native town and was taking care of the animals he was in charge of. But he didn't look like a shepherd or a herdsman to the narrator as they generally don't wear steel-rimmed spectacles. His clothes and face were dusty.
