Answers
Answer:
Life is like a drama. Everyone has its own role while going through different phases of life cycle. Similarly, the role of other family members of Swati's family changed after the birth of Swati's sister. Every family member plays their role and responsibility very well.
Firstly,when Swati was small,she used to listen her mama's bedtime story which she is missing now.Once ago Grandma used to massage Swati when she was small but now Swati takes the role of her Grandma's duty and helps in massaging her young sibling. While Swati's Papa and Grandma takes the role of Swati's mother and helps to get Swati ready for the school and get her tiffin ready. Besides that, Swati ,as a sensible and loving girl, takes the responsibility of cleaning her own room as her mama keeps busy with her sister.
