summary of sunshine susan by deepa kiran
Answers
Susan was a young school going child who lived with her parents,her elderly grandmother and her elder brother Sandy.
Susan was always helping the mother with the house chores although she hated some of them like cooking.She did this since she could no longer go to college due to lack pf school fees and she hated it.
The brother would go for hunting with the father early in the morning and return late at night.
The grandmother being so elderly couldn't help so much with the house chores.
It was Susan's dream to go to college,get educated and get to chase her dreams.She loved learning.
However,the parents couldn't raise the school fee so they told her to sty at home and probably wait until she gets married. Susan wasn't happy with that.
One day,she followed Her father in the bee farm that she used to work in and requested him to allow her to be working there,so that she raise fee to go back to college.On hearing this,the father dismissed her and told her that there will be no one to help the mother at home with the house chores and Sandy cannot do so since that job is only meant for girls, and maybe knowing how risky the job was.
The owner of the farm,Mrs Andrew had overheard the conversation due to the commotion ,came through and encouraged Susan's father to accept Susan's request since its rare to find children of her age yearning for education that much.Mrs Andrew then gave Susan a job and she was to report to work the following day.
Susan had been taught all the techniques on how to handle bees by the father including how wear the hat and how to understand them.
At the end of the month,Susan had made a living out of the job.
She prepared the finest hone and took it to the family.She had glued a paper on the bottle written "sunshine honey grandma"The grandmother was so happy for her .
Susan then began her own honey farm where she reared her own bees,got the honey,and sold it to her villagers to get the money to go to college.
She named the honey"sunshine honey".Her villagers discouraged her on her attempt to raise money to go to college arguing that girls should stay at home and help with the chores but Susan gave them a deaf ear.
Her uncle had then gifted her a motorbike to help her maneuver from college and work. Although it was tough for her to perfect her biking skills,she finally managed to.
Unfortunately,one day her mother was bite by a snake on her ankle.
This stressed hewer a lot since the nearest hospital was miles away.The grandmother encouraged her to think fast of a solution so tat they could save the mothers life.Susan then remembered that she could use her bike.She tied a tourniquet on her leg to avoid the poison spreading,raised the mother on the bike,and drove off to the hospital where they were able to save the mother just on time.
'Sunshine Girl",everyone said since she could not let her shine go dull,by believing in herself and having the courage to belief in her heart.
I hope this helps.
