Answer the following briefly.

Why did Varmaji bribe his grandchildren? How did Rakesh react to his behaviour?

Varmaji was fond of sweets like halva but Rakesh had imposed a strict ban on serving sweets. Driven by his love for sweets, Varmaji bribed his grandchildren into buying him sweets. Although Rakesh’s children were unwilling to accept the bribe money, they had to obey their grandfather. The deal was to buy him thirty paise worth of jalebis, and the buyer could spend the remaining twenty paise on himself. Varmaji’s attempts to buy sweets through his grandson were twice successful but the child was caught by his parents. Rakesh scolded his son for disobeying his orders and accepting his grandfather’s offer. Rakesh found this act of his father extremely disturbing. He blamed the old man for making a liar out of his son. He said that his father was spoiling his children besides spoiling his stomach.
