What is the summary of the grain is big as hen's egg. from class8 please guys help me.
Answers
“A Grain as Big as a Hen’s Egg” is written from an objective, omniscient point of view, observing each event that led to the eldest man’s story without participation in the action or commentary on its own presence, remaining anonymous to the reader.
Tolstoy’s diction is conversational, as if he was orally passing the story down to another person himself, and there are even colloquial phrases that are common to the time period during which it was written, around the late nineteenth century.
An idiomatic phrase like “could not make head or tail of it” was a part of informal conversation in those times, and abbreviations like “till” show the colloquialism that Tolstoy incorporates into his work to make his style more accessible to a wider range of audiences, who can all learn form his message.
Answer:
One day the King was brought an unusually large grain of corn. He had ordered his wise men to discover where this grain came from. The wise men couldn't find an answer and thus suggested that maybe peasant may know where this is grown.
The wise men bought a old peasant in the King presence. The old peasant, was wearing two crutches. He could hardly see and hear what the King was showing and saying to him. When he understood he said that he didn't know where this grain could have been grown. He suggested that maybe his father knew about it.
The King summoned his father. The father was wearing a crutch but had a clearer vision and hearing than his son. Nevertheless, he still didn't know where it came from. He also suggested that maybe his father would know.
The King summoned his father too. The grandfather does not have crutches, has good hearing and eyesight. He told the King that a grain as big as that could have only been grown during his time.
The King then asked why, unlike his son and grandson, he could walk, see, and hear better. The grandfather said that it was because during their time, people did not depend on others for labor
