out of the country, he was curious to know more about what the vast world had to offer. "No, I will tell you what happened to me when I went to the abandoned house outside the village," said patti. Mani stared at Patti with eyes like that of a puppy, waiting for her to start her story. She sensed the child's excitement and did not disappoint him. "We had just returned to this village after a long journey to the West. My appa was keen on staying here for some time, but amma was a little worried. She had heard rumours about the village. A few years ago, a man, who was accused of being a wizard and thrown out of the village, had cast a spell on the village. He took shelter in an abandoned house and lived there until he disappeared. Everyone was afraid of going near the house alone because they believed that his ghost haunted the place." "I know the story. Everyone in the village says that he was a Ravan. Is it true, patti?" Mani asked. "Who knows?" she replied. "Patti, what happened after that?" She smiled and continued, "Appa did not believe these stories, but amma was scared. She wanted us to return to the city. When appa insisted on staying for a little longer, she gave in. One day, I was playing hide-and-seek with my friends, and I wandered off and found myself standing in front of that house. Having heard so much about it, I wanted to explore it, so I went inside. There, I found an ancient book. It was torn and covered with dust. I blew the dust away and opened the first page. There was an image of an orange sky, swarming with wild crows. Suddenly, I felt a throbbing pain in my head and fainted." "Wake up.^ prime prime Mani shifted uneasily in his place. He opened his eyes slowly and scrunched his nose as the bright light hit his face. He looked around, but patti was nowhere to be found. 'Did she leave for the evening prayer already?' he wondered, getting up. "Patti,' he called out but in vain. He looked around. Something did not feel right. The place smelled of dust and cobwebs. Just then a crow landed in front of him. It screeched and then attacked Mani with its wings. There was a clap of thunder and a flash of lightning, which look like a silver branch. "What is happening?" Mani wondered, almost on the verge of crying. He got up and looked around. The sky was still burning like a volcano. The wild crows had disturbed the surroundings with their deafening screeches. Mani was outside that house! "What are you doing here?" he heard someone roar from behind. Mani stood there, as white as a sheet. He clenched his fists in horror. "Who are you?" the voice growled. Mani could sense the anger in the voice. Sweat trickling down his face, he slowly turned around to find a dark figure inches away from him. He had a shawl over his body. His eyes were two gleaming pearls in the vast open in brainly.Identify and state two examples of metaphors used in the story.
