Q. Do we come across persons like Lutkins only in fiction or do we encounter them in real life as well?

You can give examples from fiction, or narrate an incident that you have read in the newspaper, or an incident from real life.
Answer: This world is full of all kinds of people. Apart from others, there are cheats also in this world. They are on the look out for gullible people. Then they befool them easily with their confidence and tricks. Mr Natwarlal is such a person from real life. He has cheated hundreds of people. Then he was caught and put into jail. Yes I remember one such incident. A man came to a woman who lived in our neighbourhood. He told her that he could double her gold bangles with the help of his supernatural power. At that time she was wearing four gold bangles.

He said that he would turn them into eight gold bangles. He was carrying a bag. The woman gave him the bangles. Then he asked her to fetch a glass of water for him. When she returned with water, he gave her eight gold bangles. She was overjoyed. He charged only five hundred rupees for that ‘great’ service. In the evening, when her husband came, she showed him hereight ‘gold’ bangles. Her husband got suspicious. They got the bangles checked and found that all the eight bangles were made of brass. Now they understood his trick. When the woman had gone to fetch water, he had replaced the four gold bangles with eight brass bangles which he was carrying in his bag.
