2...Gopi didn't get anything from his mother because his mother and sister forgot him. ... He wanted to take them and sell them to earn money and in the haste, his mother doesn't remember him so he didn't get anything from his mother..
4..The expression in the lesson 'tattered blanket' is that Gopi had forgotten the relationship between Gopi and his mother. ... He torn off the relationship between his mother and him like the tattered blanket of his mother which was given by him.so, this is the expression of tattered blanket.
