Sadao saw that the white man was an American prisoner ( कैदी) of war who had escaped.

It was a grave crime to give shelter to enemy ( दुश्मन ) soldier. And Dr Sadao didn’t want to help him. But at the same time, he couldn’t avoid ( अनदेखा करना)  his duty as a doctor. So Sadao took the man to his house and did all that he could do to save his life. During that whole period, he never forgot that the man was an enemy ( दुश्मन ). Dr. Sadao even thought of handing him over to the police, but couldn’t do so.
