                                        \nAnswer:
                                        \nHamid\u2019s pair of tongs won all his friends over to its side. Hamid\u2019 friends thought he was crazy to buy the tongs of no use to him. But Hamid showed his friends that it would not break like their toys when it is thrown down, when he places the tongs on his shoulders, it is a gun and when Hamid carries it in his hands, it is like a musical instrument carried by the singing monks. So he proved his friends that his tongs are like a tiger among toys.<\/p>\n

He can decide over his choices correctly. He remembers how his grandmother burns her fingers while cooking chappatis. So, he does not buy any toy or sweets or candies for him. But he buys a pair of tongs for his grandmother. It shows his love and affection for his grandmother.<\/p>\n
