Voorbeeld van de inhoud
Like everybody's grandmother was an old woman. People said that she had once beenyoung and pretty and had even a husband, but that was hard to believe her husband
that is my grandfather's portrait hung above the mantelpiece in the drawing room.
He wore a big turpin and loose fitting clothes. His long white beard covered his
chest and he looked a hundred years old. He didn't look like a person having wife
and children. He looked as if he had lots and lots of grandchildren as for my
grandmother being young and pretty. The thought was just revolting. She often told
us of the games. She used to play as a child that seemed quite illogical and
foolishly on her part. We treated it like the fables of Prophets. She used to
tell us what what is fables of Prophets Fables means the mythical stories that
gave immoral. Prophets are the people of God that gave divine teachings. Thus
fables of Prophets mean the stories of Saints. The writer's grandmother told him
these stories. Thus the author says when her grandmother told him games he
treated it like fables of Prophets. She had always been short and fat and
slightly bent. Her face was a crisscross of wrinkles running from everywhere to
everywhere. We were certain she had always been same as we had known her terribly
old that she couldn't have grown older and stayed at the same age for 20 years.
She had never been pretty, but she was always beautiful. She walked about the house
in spotless white with one hand resting on her waist and the other telling the
beads of Rosary. Her silver locks were scattered over her pale face and her lips
constantly moved in an audible prayer Yes she was beautiful. She was like the
winter landscapes in the mountains and of pure white calmness. We both were good
friends. My parents left me with her when they went to live in city And we were
together. She used to wake me up in the morning and get me ready for school. She
said her prayings in a monotonous way while she bathed me and dressed me up in
the hope that I would listen it and learn the prayer. I listened to her because I
loved the voice, but I never bothered to learn. Then she would fetch my slate,
which she had already washed and plastered with yellow chalk, an ink pot and a
red pen. Then she would tie it all in a bundle and hand it to me. After the
breakfast of a thick and stale chapati with a little butter and sugar spread on
it. We went to school. She carried several chapatis for village dogs. She always
went to school with me because the school was attached to a temple. The priest of
the temple taught us. The alphabet and the morning prayer. My grandmother sat
inside reading the scriptures while the children sat in the veranda singing the
alphabet and the prayer. When we both had finished, we would walk back together
at the door. The dogs would meet us. They followed us to our home growling and
fighting with each other for the chapati. When my parents were completely settled
in the city, they called us to city that was a turning point in our friendship.
Although we shared the same room Grandma no longer came to school with me. I used
to go to an English school in a bus. There were no dogs in the streets and she took
two yard to feeding sparrows as the years rolled we soles each other for some
time. She continued to wake me up and get me ready for school. When I came back,
she would ask me what the teacher had taught me. I would tell her English words
and little things of Western science and learning the law of gravity, our chimedy
principle, the world being round etc. This made her unhappy. She couldn't help me
with my lessons. She didn't believe the things at English school and was distressed
that there was no teaching about God and the scriptures. One day I announced her
that we were being given music lessons she was very disturbed to her music was
monopoly of harlots and beggars and not meant for gentle effort. She said nothing
but her silence meant disapproval. After that she would rarely talk to me. When I
went up to university. I was given a room of my own. The link of our friendship
was snapped. My grandmother accepted her seclusion with resignation. What does this
mean her grandmother accepted her seclusion meaning isolation with resignation
means she resigned from his friendship and accepted to stay lonely after that she
just stuck to her spinning wheel. She rarely left her spinning wheel from sunrise
to sunset. She sat by her wheel and reciting prayers. Only in the afternoon she
relaxed for a while to feed the sparrows while she sat in the veranda breaking
bread into little bits hundreds of birds collected those around her creating a
veritable. bedroom of troopings? What a veritable bedroom of troopings? A
