Answers
Kisa Gotami has an only son and was in grief when he died.
She needs medicine to get her son back to life with her.
She met Buddha and asked for a solution.
Buddha realized her situation and asked to fetch a handful of mustard seeds from the house where none of the people had died.
She went to all the houses to collect the mustard seeds but she was not able to gather them because there was death in everyone's house.
She soon realized that every man on earth would die which is natural and we need to accept it.
OR
Bholi was not strong and healthy like her siblings.
She was treated badly by the village people and also by her parents as she was different from her siblings.
But, her teacher wanted to change this situation in Bholi's life.
Bholi's teacher encouraged her a lot, which gave her confidence to speak.
After pursuing education and with her teacher's assistance, Bholi became a confident girl.
She could speak properly without stammer.
She even became bold enough to refuse to marry an old man due to his greediness.
When her father saddened by her marriage, she cheered her father by telling him that he need not worry about her marriage, as she can teach in the school where she learnt and take care of her father and mother in their old age.
Hence, education and her teacher's guidance turned Bholi into a bold girl.
