Summary:
In the story "A Gift of Chappals," the protagonist, Hari Singh, receives a pair of chappals from his mother. He later loses them and goes through a series of encounters with different characters who try to help him. In the end, Hari realizes the value of his mother's gift and the importance of gratitude. The third question in the NCERT Solutions for Chapter 2 asks for suggestions that were made to Hari when he lost his chappals.

Suggestions Made:

1. Look for the chappals: When Hari first loses his chappals, the boy at the tea-stall suggests that he should look for them. This is a logical first step to find something that has been lost. However, Hari dismisses the idea, assuming that someone might have taken them.

2. Ask the police: Hari's friend, Govind, suggests going to the police station to report the lost chappals. This is a common practice when something valuable is lost, as the police can help in the search. However, Hari is reluctant to involve the police and believes they would not be interested in finding a pair of chappals.

3. Try the temple: The policeman at the police station suggests that Hari should check the nearby temple as people sometimes deposit lost items there. Temples often have a lost and found section where people can retrieve their lost belongings. However, Hari is skeptical about this suggestion and assumes that no one would return a pair of old chappals to the temple.

4. Visit the bus depot: A traveler at the bus depot advises Hari to visit the lost and found counter at the bus depot. Many people leave their belongings behind while traveling, and the lost and found section is a common place to search for lost items. However, Hari believes that his chappals would never make it to the lost and found counter.

5. Accept the gift: In the end, when Hari meets the old man, he suggests accepting the gift of chappals from him. The old man emphasizes the importance of gratitude and appreciating what is given. This suggestion makes Hari realize the value of his mother's gift and the lesson of gratitude.

In conclusion, various suggestions were made to Hari when he lost his chappals, including looking for them, asking the police, checking the temple, visiting the bus depot, and accepting the gift from the old man. Each suggestion aimed to help him find the lost chappals, but Hari's assumptions and skepticism prevented him from following any of them until he learned the lesson of gratitude in the end.
