Three Questions:

1. How was the injured man cared for in the hermit’s hut?

Answer: The Tsar and the hermit loosened the wounded man’s garments in the “Three Questions” fable. The injured guy collapsed to the ground when he arrived at the hermit’s hut. He was groaning and looked quite weak. The Tsar became aware of the man’s stomach wound at that point. The Tsar washed it right away. He covered the wound with a towel from the hermit and his handkerchief. However, the blood kept flowing. Warm blood seeped into the bandage. They cleaned and dressed the wound once more. The injured man sought to drink water as he came to his senses. Fresh water was served to him right away by the Tsar. They carried the injured guy to the hermit’s hut and placed him on the hermit’s bed. He fell asleep right away, regaining his life.

2. What were the three Questions that the Tsar had? Why did he require accurate responses to such queries? What did he do when he wasn’t happy with the knowledgeable men’s responses?

Answer: The three queries that sprang to the Tsar’s mind were:

  1. When exactly should any work be started.
  2. To whom should one accord far greater value than to everyone else in life?
  1. What was the most crucial task in life?

To succeed in all facets of his existence, the Tsar needed to have the right answers to these questions. Tsar was not pleased with the responses provided by learned men. He did not award anyone as a result.

3. The hermit said, “You have already received an answer.” What were the hermit’s responses to the Tsar’s three inquiries?

Answer: In Leo Tolstoy’s short story “Three Questions,” a specific Tsar had difficulty finding the correct answers to three questions. So he welcomed a lot of academics to his royal court. Each group provided a response. But each individual responded differently. Therefore, the Tsar was unimpressed by their responses. Finally, he made the decision to visit a hermit who lived in the woods and get all the answers.

The hermit first argues that since men have no control over the past or the future, the most crucial period is “now” or the present.

Second, since it is impossible to predict whether a guy would interact with anyone else in the future, the most crucial person is the one with whom he is currently in contact.

Thirdly, helping others is the most vital endeavour because that is the only reason a man is born.

4. “The Tsar was so tired with the walk and the work he had done that he crouched down on the threshold and fell asleep.”-Where did the Tsar walk and why? What work had he done? How did he sleep?

Answer: The Tsar got off his horse and travelled some distance to the hermit’s hut.

The Tsar got off his horse and started walking since he was aware that the hermit was actually a regular person and not a recluse.

He used a spade to dig two seedbeds at the hermit’s cabin till dusk. A hurt guy arrived at the hermit’s hut. He then attended to the wounded man who had collapsed in front of him. He cleaned the man’s wound and multiple times bandaged it.

With his walk and efforts, the Tsar was worn out. Due to his exhaustion, he had a restful sleep.

5. What happened to the man with the beard? How did he get saved? What ultimately did he do?

Answer: The hermit observed a bearded guy come sprinting out of the wood when the Tsar finally asked him to respond to his three questions. He had an injury to his abdomen. When he emerged from an ambush to attack the Tsar, he was wounded by the Tsar’s bodyguard. His brother had been killed by the Tsar and his possessions taken.

He spilled blood. The Tsar repeatedly bandaged him along with the hermit. As a result, the blood flow ceased. He was placed on a bed by the Tsar, who then nursed him to sleep.

The bearded guy eventually admitted his mistake and begged the Tsar for forgiveness. He pledged to be the Tsar’s obedient slave.

6. What was the third question of the Tsar? How was this answered by the learned men? Was the Tsar satisfied with the answers to the three questions by the learned men? What did he decide to satisfy his curiosity?

Answer: What was the most crucial action to take? was the Tsar’s third query. Or, what was the most significant job?
