Question

Summary of The Blue Bead Poem???

Answer 1

The story starts with the description of a river and a crocodile and then transitions into the description of a twelve-year-old poor girl; Sibia. Though she was too poor to buy gems or even blown glass beads, she loved to admire the various types of beads, Kashmiri clothes, even the shining tin trays that were sold in a Bazaar or market near the railhead of the village. All the females in her village had different necklaces made from colourful glass beads which grew in abundance in the jungle, sewn by their respective family needles. But Sibia’s family needle was snapped in half, so she had to wait until they could afford a new needle again.

One day, Sibia, her mother and other women of the village went into the jungle to collect paper grass, to be sold in the market. All the women were wearing various colourful necklaces whereas Sibia had none. On her way she kept fantasising of having her own coloured beads to sew various necklaces, bracelets to decorate her thin, oil-browned figure.

The river is full of deadly crocodiles so the women make loud noises while crossing the stream because the noises scare the crocodiles away. They steep the Ghats or the banks of the river, collect the paper grass and return back to the village but Sibia lags behind intentionally to check the cave where she had kept her own handmade clay moulded cups and saucers to dry. While wandering around she sees that another woman has come to collect water in her Gurrah (pot). While doing so a crocodile rises suddenly out of the black water and grabs the woman’s leg between his sharp, uneven teeth.

The story "the blue bead story" by Norah Burke, there is a girl named Sibia. She and her mom are going to get some paper grass to sell at the market. The mugger crocodile lies in the water along the path the women take to get to the paper grass. The women leave to go harvest the grass. On their way they passed a small campsite for graziers. When they cross the stream they make a lot of noise because it keeps the crocodiles away. It works this time.They climb up the steep gnat and get to the grass. The women start to toil.The women leave, and Sibia stays there on her own. Later Sibia leaves with her hayfork. When crossing the stream another woman from the village comes to the stream. She hops onto a rock in silence. She leans over with a gurrah and dips it into the stream. As it starts to fill it up. Then Sibia sees the head of a crocodile just a few feet away. But it’s too late, it all happened in a second. The crocodile lunges out of the water and grabs hold of the women's leg. She grabs onto the rock. The crocodile pulls the women and she loses her grip. She ends up grabbing a log caught between two rocks. Sibia jumped into action, jumping from rock to rock. In all the convulsion going on crocodile slapped its tail. Water flew all over but Sibia didn't stop. She drove the hayfork into the saurian’s eye as hard as she could.The mugger let go and disappeared.Sibia dragged the women back to her campground, then Sibia goes back to get her pitch fork. .Sibia is ecstatic. Beside it there is a blue bead..
