Question

Moral of the story old kaki

Answer 1

This is a poor translation of "Boodhi Kaki", a story by Munshi Premchand. The objective is merely to exhort readers to read the original story or a better translation if available. This is a touching tale of an old woman, and the travails of the elderly. Kaki's husband and sons have died, and she has no one in the world to take care of her other than a nephew. The nephew and his wife behaved very well with the aunt initially, and the trusting old woman bequeathed her property to them. But the behaviour of the nephew and his wife towards the aunt changed after acquiring her property - they now looked upon her as a burden, and neglected her. Old age, it is said, is return of the childhood. Just as children are helpless and dependent upon their parents, old people too feel helpless and need to be taken care of by their relatives. Physical frailty, loss of hearing, poor eyesight, walking difficulty; these are some of the problems which elderly people have to cope with. Deprived of the joys of life, old people start craving for certain things just like children. In the case of Kaki, she craved for food. The nephew and his wife did not provide a full meal to the old woman although they enjoyed her property! A feast has been hosted for the pre-wedding ceremony of the nephew's eldest son. Sumpuous food is being cooked for the guests. The rich aroma is so tempting that the aunt dares to take a peek into the kitchen. She is insulted by the nephew's wife. The aunt goes back to her room, but gnawing hunger draws her back to the kitchen after a while. This time, the nephew insults her and even treats her cruelly. The aunt is forgotten. The guests have departed after the meals, the family members have eaten their food, but the aunt is ignored and goes without food. There is someone who feels sorry for the old woman; it is Ladli, the nephew's daughter. Ladli has removed a portion of her own food for the old woman. It is past midnight, and everyone is sleeping. Ladli creeps out of the bed and carries the food to the aunt. But the little food that Ladli had saved for the old woman could hardly satiate the aunt's hunger. She asks Ladli to guide her to the spot where the guests had disposed their plates. Ladli cannot understand the meaning behind this strange request and she guides the woman to the spot. The old woman's hunger is so intense that she starts eating the leftover food! In the meanwhile, the nephew's wife wakes up and witnesses this poignant scene. The nephew's wife, a god-fearing woman, is stunned at the sight of the old woman scavenging for food! For the first time she realises how cruel they have been on the aunt despite enjoying her property)
