A Hundred Faces Questions & Answers
Question 1: Where was the king riding?
Answer: The king was riding through the countryside.
Question 2: How much did the peasant earn in a day?
Answer: The peasant earned four coins in a day.
Question 3: On whom did the peasant spend the money he earned?
Answer: The peasant spent the money on himself, his wife, his parents and his children.
Question 4: The peasant wanted to give money to his wife because of ‘all that she does for us’. What things do you think she did for the family?
Answer: I think she prepares food for the whole family, does all household chores, takes care of the children and also helps the peasant in his work.
Question 5: The peasant wanted to give money to his parents. What had they done for him?
Answer: The peasant wanted to give money to his parents because they had done a lot for nurturing him and it is the peasant’s time to take care of them and their needs.
Question 6: Why did the peasant agree to tell the minister the answer to the riddle?
Answer: He agreed to tell the answer to the minister because the minister gave him a bag full of coins.
Question 7: Did the peasant break his promise to the king? Give reasons for your answer.
Answer: The peasant did not break his promise to the king as he answered the minister after seeing king’s face hundred times on a hundred coins.
Question 8: Do you agree with the way the peasant divided his money? What would you do if you had to divide your money?
Answer: I agree with his way. This is because the peasant needed to save some money for himself so as to remain independent. He also needed to keep some for his wife for all the things that she does for the family and for his children to secure their future. The peasant was right to save some money for his parents because they have taken good care of him in his childhood and it was now the peasant’s turn to look after them and their needs.
If I had to divide my money, I would have divided it in the same way.
Question 9: Do you think children should look after their parents? Why?
Answer: I think, children should look after their parents because they always take care of their children, and spend their whole life in nurturing them and want nothing in return. It is also the duty of the children to look after their parents when they become old.
Question 10: Did the peasant break his promise to the king? Give reasons for your answer.
Answer: No, the peasant didn’t break his promise made to the king. This is because when he got hundred coins from the minister in exchange for the reply to the riddle, he saw the king’s face on each coin hundred times. That is how, he kept his promise made to the king.
