ANSWER:

ANSWER:
1. The situation being referred to is Jumman’s behaviour towards his aunt. Jumman’s aunt had transferred her property to him on the understanding that he would look after her. However, after a couple of years, Jumman and his family grew tired of her. He became as indifferent to her as his wife, who grudged even the little food that the old lady wanted everyday.
2. When Jumman’s aunt realised that she was not welcome in his house she suggested that Jumman should give her a monthly allowance so that she could set up a separate kitchen.
3. When the aunt explained her case to the villagers, some sympathised with her, others laughed at her and a few others advised her to make it up with her nephew and his wife.
4. Jumman was happy over Algu’s nomination as head Panch because Algu was his best friend and he knew that he would never go against him.
