When they saw a dog who eased up into the river water, the writer was worried whether he might have typhoid.
Q5. Why do you think Harris believed that his friends have brought him in trouble?
Ans. Harris had been sitting, without knowing it, on the very verge of a small gully. He asked George and Jim to give him a spoon to help the gravy with. Meanwhile he tumbled down into the gully. He blamed George and Jim for doing it deliberately and bringing him in trouble.
