Have you come back?' said the woman.'I thought that no one had come back.' Does this statement give some clue about the story? If yes, what is it?
Answers
ANSWER :
The given statement shows that the two families knew each other. Some people had left their home due to the war many years ago. Those who had stayed back thought that the ones who had left would never come back. That is why the woman feels surprised to see one of them come back. It also shows that selfishness of human behaviour. People care for material things done for human beings. But it can't be said of all human beings. The narrator and her mother were totally different in their nature. They were trusting and loving human beings. Thus the given statement does give some clue about the story.

This statement gives us a clue that both the narrator and the woman knew each other. When the narrator returned to her mom's friend to claim her stuff back, she refused to recognize her. She had never expected her to return. This is why she was surprised to see her come back after years of war. Narrator's mother trusted the woman as her friend but she broke her trust and this shows her selfish nature.
