Describe the relation between (animals/birds) – dogs and sparrows and the grandmother. |
|
Answer» The grandmother used to feed street dogs with pieces of chapattis when the grandmother and grandson duo returned home from the ‘templeschool’. At a later stage, in the city, when the author was engrossed in his higher studies, she used to spend some time feeding birds like sparrows. They had become so friendly with her that they would perch on her legs. When the grandmother died, thousands of sparrows sat around the corpse without any chirping, all in silence. They did not touch the bread crumbs which the author’s mother had thrown for them. They flew away quietly when the dead body was carried off and never came back. |
