Describe the unique relationship of the grandmother with the sparrows mourn her death
Answers
The grandmother was a great animal lover. When she lived in
village, she regularly fed the village stray dogs. She never forgot to carry
stale chapatis for them when she accompanied the author to the village temple.
When she went to the city to live with her son, she started
feeding sparrows. She sat in the verandah to feed the sparrows. She broke the
bread into little bits, and threw them to the birds. Hundreds of sparrows
collected round her chirping incessantly. A few of the birds sat on her legs, others
on her shoulders. Some even sat on her head; but she never ever shooed them
away.
The sparrows mourned the grandmother’s death and appeared to
be grief-stricken. They sat around her and did not chirrup at all. Everyone
felt sorry for the birds and the author’s mother fetched some bread for them.
She broke it into little crumbs, the way his grandmother used to, and threw it
to them. The sparrows took no notice of the bread. When they carried the grandmother’s
corpse off, they flew away quietly.

The sparrows loves the grandmother most. Whenever grandmother was free she talk with sparrows and also throw some bread crumbs in front of them so that they can eat them.
The Sparrows also sat on her head, leg, hand etc. and start chippering with happiness, it looks like they are talking with grandmother.
But after grandmother's death they sat quitely and don't do any chippering. Author's mother threw some bread crumbs in front of them. But they don't notice them. When grandmother's body was taken in garden. They fly quitely as they felt very bad about her death.
