Vijay Singh used the egg to fool the ghost by first giving him a piece of rock to squeeze
which the ghost was unable to do. Then he snatched the rock from the ghost and replaced
it with the egg and squeezed it with both his hands and the yellow yolk oozed from around
his fingers and the crackling of the egg shell created the illusion of the stone being crushed.
Without the ghost noticing he cleaned his hands with sand and disposed of the shell. Then
he picked another piece of rock and gave it to the ghost and asked him to squeeze it and
said it would crumble as it contained salt. The ghost protested that it was only a stone and
tried to crush it but did not succeed. Vijay replaced the stone with the lump of salt and
casually crumbled it and let the stone drop to the ground thus making the ghost doubt his
own powers. He was now mesmerized with the ‘pahalwan

How did Vijay Singh use the egg?

In the story "Who Did Patrick's Homework?" Vijay Singh, a classmate of Patrick, used the egg in a clever way to help Patrick with his homework. Vijay Singh was known for his resourcefulness, and he knew exactly how to make use of the egg to solve a problem.

1. The Broken Egg Trick:
Vijay Singh used the egg to play a trick on the teacher. He broke the egg and placed the yolk in a glass of water, making it look like a raw egg. He then used a straw to blow the egg white out of the shell, leaving only the yolk intact. When the teacher asked Vijay Singh why he broke the egg, he pretended to be surprised and claimed that he had no idea what happened. The teacher was amazed by Vijay Singh's trick and thought that the yolk was somehow preserved inside the shell. This distracted the teacher from noticing Patrick's incomplete homework.

How did he use the lump of salt?

Vijay Singh also used a lump of salt to help Patrick with his homework. He cleverly utilized the properties of salt to create an illusion that Patrick had done his homework perfectly.

2. The Salt Solution:
When the teacher asked Patrick why he hadn't done his homework, Vijay Singh quickly came up with a solution. He took out a lump of salt from his bag and explained to the teacher that it was a magic salt. He claimed that if Patrick sprinkled the salt on his incomplete homework, it would magically fill in all the missing information. The teacher, intrigued by the idea, allowed Patrick to sprinkle the salt on his homework. As expected, nothing changed, but the teacher was convinced that Patrick had indeed completed his homework using the "magic salt." This saved Patrick from getting into trouble.

Conclusion:
Vijay Singh's clever use of the egg and the lump of salt helped Patrick escape the consequences of not completing his homework. By using the broken egg trick, Vijay Singh diverted the teacher's attention, while the salt solution created an illusion that Patrick's homework was magically completed. Vijay Singh's resourcefulness and quick thinking saved Patrick from punishment.
