Question

My grandmother always went to school with me because the school was attached to

the temple. The priest taught us the alphabet and morning prayer. While the children sat

in rows on either side of the verandah singing the alphabet or the prayer in a chorus, my

grandmother sat inside reading the scriptures. When we had both finished, we would

walk back together. This time the village dogs would meet us at the temple door. They

followed us to our home growling and fighting with each other for the chapattis we threw

to them. When my parents were comfortably settled in the city, they sent for us.

That was a turning-point in our friendship. Although we shared the same room, my

grandmother no longer came to school with me. I used to go to an English school in a

motor bus. There were no dogs in the streets and she took to feeding sparrows in the

courtyard of our city house. (3marks)
