Answer 1

Explanation:

 As a playmate, Sidda gave Leela an extreme happiness. In return Leela wanted her mate to be educated a little. So at day’s end Leela played as teacher to Sidda.  Leela tried to teach Sidda with her little knowledge of drawing, and writing two or three letters of the alphabets. She asked Sidda to copy those. But despite having magical imagination, Sidda was a very poor performer as a student. Examining his effort, Leela scolded him like a real teacher and pitying on him she redoubled her efforts. She did not allow him to leave his task until Sidda relieved himself by telling falsely her about her mother’s call.
