Ans:

Mrs Jones had guessed that hunger was the real reason behind Roger’s action of trying to steal her purse.

The real reason was Roger’s wish to buy a pair of blue suede shoes for himself.

Mrs Jones gave Roger ten dollars so that he could fulfil his wish.

After handing Roger the money, Mrs Jones asked him not to make the mistake of stealing hers or anybody else’s belongings because things earned by dishonest means fail to bring peace to anyone. Then she said it was time for her to take rest and addressing Roger as son she wished that he would not get involved in any kind of misdeed thereafter.
