Question

Discuss in groups of four.
The sensitive behaviour of hill-folk.

Short Note

Solution

Hill folk are innocent and rustic people. They are very conservative and cultural. They do not have the exposure of a city life. They are simple and humble. They are habitual to country life, which is not fast. They are always ready to help. People who are from small towns are religious and humane.
