Answer:
It is a story about Manjula’s deformity, she has claw-like malformed fingers and clumsy feet and Manjula’s love for painting. Her considerate mother gives money from her secret savings to buy paints. Father appreciates casually. On Manjula’s thirteenth birthday her mother presents a set of artist’s water colours and father presents a book on painting. Her brother hands over a big packet, tightly wrapped and knotted which is difficult to open. It was actually a present of three water-colour brushes hidden under a pillow. Father was worried about ever increasing expenditure and wants his daughter to learn cooking or stitching instead. Manjula overhears the conversation and feels very upset.
