Answers
Answer:
Explanation: The sand was striped
• Jadav, was a tree-planter.
• He loved places surrounded by trees as it made him feel full of life.
• One day while strolling along the banks of Brahmaputra river he came across a huge empty place with no trees.
• It was hot and dry.
• The sand was powdery and striped.
• The sand was not striped rather it was covered with snakes which made it look so.
Jadav's reaction on seeing the dead snakes
• The snakes were not slithering, swaying and slinking.
• Jadav started walking around them but there was no hiss. The hakes did not even try to bite or run away.
• He blamed the heat for their deaths and wished if only there was some shade for them to lie in.
• He was very sad and dejected but soon ran back to village and started collecting bamboo shoots as much as he could carry them in his bag.
