प्रश्न

The little child’s hands and feet had marks of nails. Who does the child remind you of? Give a reason for your answer.

थोडक्यात उत्तर

उत्तर

The child reminds one of Jesus Christ. When the Giant met the little child for the second time, he saw imprints of nails on his palms and feet. When Christ was crucified, nails were dug into his palms and feet. He had sacrificed his life for humanity, so that the sins of the world would be washed away. That is why the child told the Giant that those were the wounds of love.
