Answer the following questions briefly.

"Ali displays qualities of love and patience". Give evidence from the story to support the statement.

Ali, a feeble old man was the embodiment of love and patience because he walked to the Post Office daily, at 4 o'clock every day, for the last five years. He did not care if the weather was bad, because when the story begins, we see that it is was a chilly winter morning and Ali was wearing tattered clothing, with no shawl for protection against the cold. The only thing that kept him going was his firmness of purpose, and boundless determination to receive a letter from his daughter whom he loved.
