Ans: When the Tsar came to visit him, the hermit was digging the ground in front of his hut. He breathed heavily each time he struck his spade into the earth. The Tsar approached him with his questions, but the hermit continued digging silently without giving any answer.

Ans: The Tsar put on simple clothes before meeting the hermit because the hermit met only common people. He did not leave his wood, and he never received kings in splendor. To meet him and seek his wisdom, the Tsar disguised himself like an ordinary man in plain dress.

Ans: The Tsar decided to consult the hermit because he was not satisfied with the learned men’s answers. They had answered differently to his three questions and gave no certain reply. The Tsar had heard that the hermit was a wise man, so he wanted his advice personally.

Ans: The Tsar approached the hermit to seek answers to his three important questions. He wanted to understand the lessons from the day’s events and confirm the practical wisdom about the most important time, the most important person, and the most important task.

Ans: The Tsar said “For the last time” to emphasize his urgency and final attempt to get answers. He had already sought answers before but remained uncertain. This phrase showed his desperation to understand life’s most important lessons through the hermit’s guidance.
(Tsar “āĻļ⧇āώāĻŦāĻžāϰ⧇āϰ āϜāĻ¨ā§āĻ¯â€ āĻŦāϞāϞ⧇āύ āϤāĻžāϰ āϜāϰ⧁āϰāĻŋ āĻĒā§āϰāϝāĻŧā§‹āϜāύ āĻāĻŦāĻ‚ āĻšā§‚āĻĄāĻŧāĻžāĻ¨ā§āϤ āĻšā§‡āĻˇā§āϟāĻž āĻŦā§‹āĻāĻžāϤ⧇āĨ¤ āϤāĻŋāύāĻŋ āφāϗ⧇ āωāĻ¤ā§āϤāϰ āĻšā§‡āϝāĻŧ⧇āĻ›āĻŋāϞ⧇āύ āĻ•āĻŋāĻ¨ā§āϤ⧁ āύāĻŋāĻļā§āϚāĻŋāϤ āĻ›āĻŋāϞ⧇āύ āύāĻžāĨ¤ āĻāχ āĻŦāĻžāĻ•ā§āϝ āϤāĻžāϰ āĻšāϤāĻžāĻļāĻž āĻĻ⧇āĻ–āĻžāϝāĻŧ āĻœā§€āĻŦāύ⧇āϰ āϗ⧁āϰ⧁āĻ¤ā§āĻŦāĻĒā§‚āĻ°ā§āĻŖ āĻĒāĻžāĻ Â  āϏāĻ¨ā§āĻ¨ā§āϝāĻžāϏ⧀⧇āϰ āύāĻŋāĻ°ā§āĻĻ⧇āĻļ⧇ āĻļ⧇āĻ–āĻžāϰ āϜāĻ¨ā§āϝāĨ¤)

Ans: The Tsar was initially confused and surprised. He did not understand how his questions had been answered. Gradually, he realized that his practical experiences of helping the hermit and the wounded man had already taught him the answers about time, people, and important deeds.

1. What were the three questions proposed by the Tsar? Why did he need correct answers to those questions? What did he do when he was not satisfied with the answers of the learned men? (3+1+2 = 6 marks)

(āϏāĻŽā§āϰāĻžāϟ āϕ⧋āύ āϤāĻŋāύāϟāĻŋ āĻĒā§āϰāĻļā§āύ āĻ•āϰ⧇āĻ›āĻŋāϞ⧇āύ? āϤāĻŋāύāĻŋ āϕ⧇āύ āϏ⧇āχ āĻĒā§āϰāĻļā§āύāϗ⧁āϞ⧋āϰ āϏāĻ āĻŋāĻ• āωāĻ¤ā§āϤāϰ āϜāĻžāύāϤ⧇ āĻšā§‡āϝāĻŧ⧇āĻ›āĻŋāϞ⧇āύ? āϝāĻ–āύ āĻĒā§āϰāĻžāĻœā§āĻžāĻĻ⧇āϰ āωāĻ¤ā§āϤāϰ āϤāĻžāϕ⧇ āϏāĻ¨ā§āϤ⧁āĻˇā§āϟ āĻ•āϰāϞ āύāĻž, āϤāĻ–āύ āϤāĻŋāύāĻŋ āϕ⧀ āĻ•āϰāϞ⧇āύ?)

Ans: The three questions proposed by the Tsar were: “What is the right time for every action?” “Who are the most necessary people?” and “What is the most important thing to do?”

(āϏāĻŽā§āϰāĻžāĻŸā§‡āϰ āϤāĻŋāύāϟāĻŋ āĻĒā§āϰāĻļā§āύ āĻ›āĻŋāϞ: ‘āĻĒā§āϰāϤāĻŋāϟāĻŋ āĻ•āĻžāĻœā§‡āϰ āϏāĻ āĻŋāĻ• āϏāĻŽāϝāĻŧ āĻ•āĻ–āύ?’ ‘āϏāĻŦāĻšā§‡āϝāĻŧ⧇ āĻĒā§āϰāϝāĻŧā§‹āϜāύ⧀āϝāĻŧ āĻŽāĻžāύ⧁āώ āĻ•āĻžāϰāĻž?’ āĻāĻŦāĻ‚ ‘āϏāĻŦāĻšā§‡āϝāĻŧ⧇ āϗ⧁āϰ⧁āĻ¤ā§āĻŦāĻĒā§‚āĻ°ā§āĻŖ āĻ•āĻžāϜ āϕ⧀?’)

He needed correct answers to those questions because he thought that if he always knew the right time to begin everything, knew who were the right people to listen to, and above all knew what was the most important thing to do, he would never fail in anything he might undertake.

When he was not satisfied with the answers of the learned men, who all answered his questions differently, he decided to seek further guidance and eventually went to consult a hermit, hoping for the true solution to his questions.

Ans: The Tsar went to the hermit because he wished to get answers to the three questions that he could not obtain from the learned men. He sought the advice of someone wise and simple, hoping to find the truth about the right time, the most necessary people, and the most important thing to do.

(āϏāĻŽā§āϰāĻžāϟ āϏāĻžāϧ⧁āϰ āĻ•āĻžāϛ⧇ āϗ⧇āϞ⧇āύ āĻ•āĻžāϰāĻŖ āϤāĻŋāύāĻŋ āϏ⧇āχ āϤāĻŋāύāϟāĻŋ āĻĒā§āϰāĻļā§āύ⧇āϰ āωāĻ¤ā§āϤāϰ āĻĒ⧇āϤ⧇ āĻšā§‡āϝāĻŧ⧇āĻ›āĻŋāϞ⧇āύ āϝāĻž āĻĒā§āϰāĻžāĻœā§āĻžāĻĻ⧇āϰ āĻ•āĻžāĻ› āĻĨ⧇āϕ⧇ āĻĒāĻžāύāύāĻŋāĨ¤ āϤāĻŋāύāĻŋ āĻ•āĻžāϰāĻ“ āĻĒāϰāĻžāĻŽāĻ°ā§āĻļ āĻšā§‡āϝāĻŧ⧇āĻ›āĻŋāϞ⧇āύ āϝāĻŋāύāĻŋ āĻœā§āĻžāĻžāύ⧀ āĻ“ āϏāϰāϞ āĻ›āĻŋāϞ⧇āύ, āϏāĻ āĻŋāĻ• āϏāĻŽāϝāĻŧ, āϏāĻŦāĻšā§‡āϝāĻŧ⧇ āĻĒā§āϰāϝāĻŧā§‹āϜāύ⧀āϝāĻŧ āĻŽāĻžāύ⧁āώ āĻāĻŦāĻ‚ āϏāĻŦāĻšā§‡āϝāĻŧ⧇ āϗ⧁āϰ⧁āĻ¤ā§āĻŦāĻĒā§‚āĻ°ā§āĻŖ āĻ•āĻžāϜ āϜāĻžāύāϤ⧇āĨ¤)

He went there in disguise because he wanted to see the hermit and his way of life without being noticed as a Tsar. He thought that by being unknown, he could observe truly and humbly.

When the Tsar met the hermit, the hermit was outside, on his knees, sowing seeds in the beds that had been dug the day before.

3. Why did the Tsar help the hermit to dig? How did his work at the hermit’s place help him? (3+3 =)

(āϏāĻŽā§āϰāĻžāϟ āϕ⧇āύ āϏāĻžāϧ⧁āϕ⧇ āĻ–āύāύ āĻ•āϰāϤ⧇ āϏāĻžāĻšāĻžāĻ¯ā§āϝ āĻ•āϰāϞ⧇āύ? āϏāĻžāϧ⧁āϰ āϜāĻžāϝāĻŧāĻ—āĻžāϝāĻŧ āϤāĻžāϰ āĻ•āĻžāϜ āĻ•āĻŋāĻ­āĻžāĻŦ⧇ āϏāĻžāĻšāĻžāĻ¯ā§āϝ āĻ•āϰāϞ?)

Ans: The Tsar helped the hermit to dig because he found the hermit weak and unable to do the work alone. He pitied the hermit’s weakness and wanted to do good, so he began digging the beds himself.

(āϏāĻŽā§āϰāĻžāϟ āϏāĻžāϧ⧁āϕ⧇ āĻ–āύāύ āĻ•āϰāϤ⧇ āϏāĻžāĻšāĻžāĻ¯ā§āϝ āĻ•āϰāϞ⧇āύ āĻ•āĻžāϰāĻŖ āϤāĻŋāύāĻŋ āĻĻ⧇āĻ–āϞ⧇āύ āϏāĻžāϧ⧁ āĻĻ⧁āĻ°ā§āĻŦāϞ āĻāĻŦāĻ‚ āĻāĻ•āĻž āĻ•āĻžāϜ āĻ•āϰāϤ⧇ āĻĒāĻžāϰāĻ›āĻŋāϞ⧇āύ āύāĻžāĨ¤ āϤāĻŋāύāĻŋ āϏāĻžāϧ⧁āϰ āĻĻ⧁āĻ°ā§āĻŦāϞāϤāĻžāϰ āĻĒā§āϰāϤāĻŋ āϏāĻšāĻžāύ⧁āĻ­ā§‚āϤāĻŋāĻļā§€āϞ āĻ›āĻŋāϞ⧇āύ āĻāĻŦāĻ‚ āĻ­āĻžāϞ⧋ āĻ•āϰāϤ⧇ āĻšā§‡āϝāĻŧ⧇āĻ›āĻŋāϞ⧇āύ, āϤāĻžāχ āύāĻŋāĻœā§‡ āĻŦāĻžāĻ—āĻžāύ⧇āϰ āĻŦāĻŋāĻ›āĻžāύāĻž āĻ–āύāύ āĻļ⧁āϰ⧁ āĻ•āϰāϞ⧇āύāĨ¤)

His work at the hermit’s place helped him because, while digging, the most important questions were answered through action. The hermit later explained that the most important time was when he was digging, the most important person was the hermit, and the most important business was to do him good. This showed the Tsar the real solution to his three questions.

The Tsar was glad to have made peace so easily and to have gained a friend. He forgave the man, sent his servants and his physician to attend him, and promised to restore his property. This episode taught him that the most important time, person, and business were to do good at the present moment.

Ans: The bearded man was an enemy of the Tsar. He had opposed the Tsar and had been wounded. His opposition made him angry and distant, so he became the Tsar’s enemy. He had grievances and had not yet reconciled with the Tsar.

He became the Tsar’s enemy because he had fought against him and had grievances. Until he experienced the Tsar’s kindness, he remained opposed. The Tsar’s power and past actions had caused him anger.

Seeing the Tsar’s kindness, he asked forgiveness. He promised that if he lived, he would serve the Tsar as his most faithful slave. He also promised that he would bid his sons to do the same. The Tsar forgave him and was glad to gain him as a friend.

Ans: The Tsar made peace with his enemy very easily. He forgave him for being an enemy. He promised to send his servants and his own physician to attend him. He also promised to restore his property. Having taken leave of the wounded man, the Tsar went out into the porch. By helping him, attending to his wounds, and showing kindness, he gained him for a friend. The wounded man asked forgiveness and promised that if he lived, he would serve the Tsar as his most faithful slave. He also promised to bid his sons to do the same. Peace was made not only by words but by acts of goodness, help, and immediate care. The Tsar understood that helping others at the right time was most important.

Ans: The hermit did not give direct answers to the Tsar’s questions until the end because he wanted the Tsar to learn through events. The hermit said, “You have already been answered!” He explained that when the Tsar dug the beds for him, that was the most important time, he was the most important man, and doing him good was the most important business. Later, when the wounded man ran to them, attending to him was the most important business and he was the most necessary person. The hermit used these events to show the answers. He wanted the Tsar to understand that the most important time is now, the most necessary person is the one with you, and the most important business is to do good.

Ans: Time plays the most important role in the story. The Tsar wanted to know the right time for every action. He asked learned men how to decide the right time. Some said one must draw up a table of days, months, and years. Others said one must always attend to what was going on and do what was most needful. Others said a council of wise men or magicians must be consulted. The hermit finally showed that the most important time was now. When the Tsar dug the beds, it was the most important time.

Ans: Tolstoy blends story and philosophy by using the Tsar’s questions and actions to teach lessons about life. The Tsar wanted to know the right time for every action, the most necessary people, and the most important business. Learned men gave different answers, showing the limits of knowledge. The hermit’s answers were revealed through events. When the Tsar dug beds for the hermit, it became the most important time, and the hermit was the most necessary person. When the wounded man came, helping him became the most important business. These actions teach that immediate action, helping others, and doing good are essential.

Ans: The Tsar left his bodyguards behind when visiting the hermit because he wanted to approach the wise man simply and humbly. He put on simple clothes before meeting the hermit. He did not want to show power, rank, or wealth. The Tsar wanted to be attentive and work with his own hands. He helped the hermit by digging beds and sowing seeds. By leaving his bodyguards behind, he could focus fully on the hermit’s needs and his own actions. The Tsar learned that personal effort, care, and immediate action mattered more than protection or display of power. This allowed him to understand the hermit’s answers and discover the true meaning of the most important time, the most necessary person, and the most important business. Humility and simplicity helped the Tsar to learn life lessons and serve others effectively.

Ans: The hermit told the Tsar this because the Tsar had helped him dig the beds yesterday. The Tsar pitied the hermit’s weakness and worked with his own hands. If the Tsar had gone his way without helping, the wounded man would have attacked him. By digging the beds, the Tsar stayed with the hermit at the most important time. Helping the hermit was the most important business, and the hermit was the most important person. The Tsar’s action of care and kindness prevented danger. The hermit explained that the most important time is now, the most necessary person is the one with you, and the most important business is to do good. Because the Tsar pitied the hermit, he survived the attack and learned the true meaning of life and duty.

Ans: The story teaches the idea of forgiveness through the actions of the Tsar. The wounded man, who was the Tsar’s enemy, came running to him. The Tsar bound his wounds and helped him immediately. The wounded man realized that the Tsar had saved his life and said, “Forgive me! Now, if I live, I will serve you as your most faithful slave.” The Tsar was very glad to have made peace with his enemy so easily. He not only forgave him but sent his servants and his own physician to attend him. He promised to restore his property. By forgiving his enemy, the Tsar converted him into a friend. The story shows that forgiveness, care, and immediate help can change hatred into friendship. Tolstoy teaches that forgiving others and doing good create peace, trust, and lasting relationships.

Ans: The Tsar’s first question was, “What is the right time for every action?” (Tsar āϜāĻžāύāϤ⧇ āĻšā§‡āϝāĻŧ⧇āĻ›āĻŋāϞ⧇āύ āĻĒā§āϰāϤāĻŋāϟāĻŋ āĻ•āĻžāĻœā§‡āϰ āϜāĻ¨ā§āϝ āϏāĻ āĻŋāĻ• āϏāĻŽāϝāĻŧ āϕ⧀?) Learned men gave different answers. Some said one must draw up a table of days, months, and years. Others said one must always attend to what was going on and do what was most needful. Others suggested consulting a council of wise men or magicians. The hermit’s answer came through experience. When the Tsar dug the beds for the hermit, that was the most important time. By helping the hermit at that moment, he acted at the right time. Later, when the wounded man came, attending to him immediately became the right time. The hermit explained that the most important time is now. The Tsar learned that the present moment is when we have power to do good and act effectively.

Ans: The story reflects Tolstoy’s view on practical wisdom through the Tsar’s experiences and the hermit’s guidance. The Tsar wanted to know the right time for every action, the most necessary people, and the most important business. Learned men gave various theoretical answers. The hermit showed practical wisdom through real actions. When the Tsar dug the beds for the hermit, it was the most important time, and the hermit was the most necessary person. When the wounded man came, attending to him became the most important business. Tolstoy emphasizes that wisdom is in action, not theory. Doing good immediately, helping those present, and serving others demonstrates true understanding. Practical wisdom is shown through care, attention, and kindness. The story teaches that real knowledge is applying what we know to benefit others at the right moment. Theory alone cannot replace action and human compassion.

Ans: The Tsar’s attitude towards the hermit changed from curiosity to respect and care. At first, he wished to ask the hermit his three questions: the right time for every action, the most necessary people, and the most important business. He wore simple clothes and approached the hermit humbly. When he saw the hermit working on the beds, he helped by digging them himself. The Tsar pitied the hermit’s weakness and worked patiently. By helping the hermit, he learned the value of immediate action and attending to the most necessary person. He understood that doing good to the hermit was his most important business at that moment. The Tsar’s attitude became one of respect, humility, and care. Through his actions, he recognized the hermit’s wisdom and the importance of human life, learning lessons about compassion, service, and practical wisdom.

Ans: The Tsar forgave his enemy so readily because he had saved the wounded man’s life. The wounded man ran to the Tsar and the hermit. The Tsar bound his wounds and helped him immediately. The wounded man realized that the Tsar had saved him and said, “Forgive me! Now, if I live, I will serve you as your most faithful slave.” The Tsar was very glad to have made peace so easily.

Ans: Leo Tolstoy uses a simple and clear narrative technique in Three Questions. He begins with the Tsar’s thoughts and his desire to know the right time for every action, the most necessary people, and the most important business. The story is told in a linear manner, describing events as they happen. Tolstoy includes the Tsar’s actions, such as leaving his bodyguards, wearing simple clothes, and digging beds for the hermit. The hermit’s guidance is revealed through practical events, not abstract discussion. The narrative shows lessons through the Tsar’s experiences with the hermit and the wounded man. Dialogue and actions illustrate the answers to the Tsar’s questions. Tolstoy blends story and philosophy seamlessly. The narrative emphasizes human life, care, and immediate action. Simple words, clear sequences, and moral lessons make the story engaging, easy to follow, and instructive for readers.
