Answer the following question in 120-150 words:
How does Dr. Cuss's encounter with Griffin end in a disaster?
उत्तर
The stranger had no wish to entertain nosy neighbourhood people, he did not speak a word and simply glared at Mr Cuss for intruding upon his private space. The stranger had merely sniffed and kept on sniffing all the time that Mr Cuss was present. Any question put to him succeeded in enraging him further but when he accidentally revealed his empty sleeve, there was a moment of confusion which the stranger and Mr Cuss shared before the former turned the latter out of his room. Mr. Cuss was visibly shaken from this encounter. However, what is clear from this encounter is that the stranger was in a perturbed state of mind, he was working on a problem whose solution seemed to elude him constantly.

Twenty minutes of laughter is sufficient to augment physiological development.
