प्रश्न
Bob’s life in the West was not a bed of roses. Give reasons.
उत्तर
Bob, during the course of his conversation with the cop, admitted that he had to compete with some of the sharpest wits going to get his pile (i.e.) wealth. In fact, West did put a razor’s edge on him. He had overcome many obstacles. Thus, it is very clear that life was not a bed of roses for Bob. Even if he had enjoyed the rose bed for some time, it did have its thorns. He knew the risks involved in his effort to make quick illegal bucks.
