Question
[2]. Read the following passage carefully:
Passage: "Every morning, postman Raghunath cycled thirty kilometres through villages that had no library. In his bag, beside the letters, he carried a notebook. Whenever an old person told him a story, a song, or a recipe, he wrote it down, with the teller's name and village. People laughed at first: a postman collecting stories instead of only delivering post. Years later, when a schoolteacher asked children to write about their grandparents, Raghunath opened his notebook. The children found their own family stories there, in their own words. The notebook did not make Raghunath famous. It made the villages remember themselves." Why did people laugh at Raghunath at first?
