Can you summarize the full story of 'pret in the house' by Ruskin Bond?

I'm not sure about the exact main themes in this story as I haven't read it. But based on Bond's other works, it could be about the relationship between humans and the supernatural, like how people react to the presence of a 'pret' (spirit).

In 'A Tiger in the House', a man named Grandfather finds a tiger cub. He brings it home. The cub grows up in the house. It becomes friendly with the family, especially with Timothy, the name given to the tiger. However, as it grows older, it starts showing wild instincts. Eventually, it has to be sent to the zoo for safety reasons.

The story 'The Thief' by Ruskin Bond is about a boy who is a thief. He tries to steal from an old man. But the old man shows kindness to him instead of getting angry. Eventually, the boy's heart is changed by the old man's goodness.

The title 'Pret in the House' gives very little information on its own. It could potentially be a horror story where Pret is some sort of malevolent entity lurking in a haunted house. Or it could be a heart - warming family story about a pet named Pret in a family home. We really need more information to accurately tell the full story.

Well, 'The Blue Umbrella' by Ruskin Bond mainly focuses on Binya, a little girl. Binya has this blue umbrella that she loves dearly. In the village, this umbrella stands out. Ram Bharosa, the shopkeeper, is really drawn to it. He tries different ways to get it. There are some interactions between Binya, her family, and Ram Bharosa regarding the umbrella. In the end, Binya realizes that the umbrella has caused a bit of a stir and decides to give it to Ram Bharosa. It shows how a simple object can create complex emotions and relationships in a small community.

In 'Tiger in the Tunnel' by Ruskin Bond, we are introduced to a simple watchman at a railway tunnel. His days are filled with the same routine of ensuring the tunnel's safety. One evening, as he goes about his duty, he becomes aware of a tiger lurking in the tunnel. This is a terrifying situation for him. However, he doesn't run away. He has a sense of responsibility towards the tunnel and the trains that pass through it. He uses his wits and his own courage to face the danger. He makes himself seem big and makes noises to intimidate the tiger. Eventually, the tiger leaves and he is able to continue his important work of safeguarding the tunnel.

In Ruskin Bond's 'A Tiger in the House', the central characters are Grandfather and the tiger cub Timothy. Grandfather is a kind - hearted man who has an interest in the wild. When he finds the tiger cub, he doesn't hesitate to take it home. Timothy, on the other hand, is the tiger cub that becomes a part of the family. It experiences a life in the house, among humans, and as it grows, it shows different aspects of its character, from being a cute cub to a more wild - natured adult tiger. These two characters drive the story forward with their interactions and the changes that occur over time.

There may not be a well - known storybook with that exact title. However, if we consider the general concept, there are many storybooks about characters in houses. For example, 'The Cat in the Hat' has a character in a house causing chaos. But for 'Pret in the House', it's not something that comes up often in mainstream storybooks.

The full story of 'When Darkness Falls' by Ruskin Bond is a compelling tale that keeps you engaged. It has twists and turns that reveal the complexity of human nature in a dark setting.

One of the well - known Ruskin Bond short story books is 'The Room on the Roof'. It's a great collection that gives a peek into the life in the hills, with vivid descriptions and engaging characters.
