The Gold Frame
-R.K.Laxman
Introduction
“The Gold Frame” is a moving short story. It was written by R.K.Laxman. The story
ends in an unexpected manner. It is full of humour and irony.
Datta and the Portrait
Datta is a photo frame maker. He is a hardworking man. One day, a customer brings
an old photograph for framing. The man who brought the photo respected the old man in it as
the god of his family. He wants to do a best oval shape frame. Datta asks him two weeks
time to complete his work.
After ten days, the customer goes to the shop and asks him about the photo frame.
Datta replies to come on the fixed date. Then, he starts to do his job. While doing so,
the paint spills on the old man’s photograph. The photo becomes completely damaged then
after sometime, he wants to get a proper solution, while praying to the gods, a particular
The photo captures his attention. After this, he decides to find a substitute for the spoiled
photograph. In the search, he finds one photo that is suitable for it.
Datta works carefully and puts the photo in a shining Gold Frame. Next day, the customer comes to his shop. Datta gives him, the package and the customer becomes
impatient to see the portrait. After opening the portrait, the customer thanked happily to
Datta, but soon, the customer asked Datta what he had done. Datta fears that he finds his
fraud. When he tries to answer, the customer asks him where the oval is in shape and shows
the portrait is in square. Datta feels happy for not being trapped in identifying the photo.
Conclusion
The story is ironic that the customer has found a minor fault instead of a major
fault. He did not find the fake photograph and Datta got a narrow escape. Thus, the story
ends in a twist full of humour.
