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.
