Ans: Runtu and The Narrator are close friends like Krishna and Sudama. Runtu belongs to lower class family like Sudama. The narrator belongs to upper class family like Krishna.

Ans: There were no class gap between Runtu and The Narrator during their childhood time. They were in selfless friendship. They simply love each other and enjoy their company without considering their class differences.

People are still suffering from the same pathetic condition like Runtu.
