II. Based on your discussion above, what do you think the story is about ?

Ans. I think the story is about two gentlemen of Verona. The story shows how they are gentlemen inthe true sense of the word. That is why the story has been titled ‘Two Gentlemen of Verona’.The word ‘Verona’ in the title indicates that the story is set in Italy.

III. Now, read the story, ‘Two Gentlemen of Verona’.

(II) BRIEF INTRODUCTION

It is a moving story of two poor boys, aged 12 and 13. They have to toil very hard for the treatmentof their ailing sister. They work very hard and earn a good amount of money. But they spend almostnothing on themselves. Their clothes are worn out. Their food is of the cheapest kind. They save everypenny for the treatment of their sister. They are self-respecting children. They don’t take to begging.They never appeal to anyone for help or mercy. Their sincere devotion and sacrifice are worthy ofemulation. They give promise of a new hope for humanity.

tunic1 gathered in loose folds about his skinnyframe2. Yet, gazing3 at the two little figures, withtheir brown skins, tangled hair and dark earnest4

eyes, we felt ourselves strangely attracted. Mycompanion spoke to the boys, discovered that theywere brothers. Nicola, the elder, was 13; Jacopo,who barely came up to the door handle of thecar, was nearly 12. We bought their biggest basket,then set off5 towards town.

5. Next morning, coming out of our hotel, wesaw our friends bent over shoeshine6 boxes besidethe fountain in the public square, doing a brisk7

business.

6. We watched for a few moments; then as tradeslackened8, we went over. They greeted us withfriendly faces.

7. ‘‘I thought you picked fruit for a living,’’ Isaid.

8. ‘‘We do many things, sir,’’ Nicola answeredseriously. He glanced9 at us hopefully. ‘‘Often weshow visitors through the town ..... to Juliet’stomb10 ..... and other places of interest.’’

9. ‘‘All right,’’ I smiled. ‘‘You take us along.’’

10. As we made the rounds1, my interest wasagain provoked by their remarkable demeanour2.They were childish enough, and in many waysquite artless3.
