    \nAnswer:
    \nThe hermit\u2019s answered all three questions of the king as follows:
    \nHe told the king that there is only one time that is important and that time is \u2018Now\u2019. It is the most important time because it is the only time we have any power to act.<\/p>\n

    According to him, the most important person is the person you are with at a particular moment, for no one knows what will happen in the future and whether we will meet anyone else. The most important business, the hermit said, is to do that person good, because we were sent into this world for that purpose alone. (Encourage the students to come up with individual answers.)<\/p>\n

    \"NCERT<\/p>\n

    Sample answer: The hermit\u2019s answer that I like the best is that the most important business is to help others. Who doesn\u2019t need help? The world works well only because human beings help and support others in their time of need. It also makes one feel good about life and oneself. And no one knows when they themselves would need help. So, it is important to understand this belief.<\/p>\n
