Qu. 1 What did the author begin to think when he found himself so helpless and stupid against his fellow traveller?
Ans. The writer was travelling by train from Landon to a Midland town. He was all alone in the compartment. Soon he found that he had a fellow traveller. It was a mosquito. First, it sat on his nose. It was the first offence of the fellow traveller. The writer flicked him off his nose. The fellow traveller made a tour of the compartment, the windows and the light. He again came over the neck of the writer. The writer flicked him off again. He skipped away, came again and sat on the back of the writer's hand. He had already warned the fellow traveller twice.
The third attack on the back of his hand was intolerable to him. He charged the fellow traveller with vagrancy, public nuisance, without ticket travelling and gave him death sentence. He then gave a deadly blow out the mosquito dodged it. The angry and insulted writer followed the fellow traveller everywhere in the compartment. He tried to kill him with the newspaper. But the fellow traveller saved himself skilfully every time as an expert matador. Thus the fight between the writer and the mosquito was very interesting.
