Question

why did she ask muni not to come back before sunset

Answer 1

By then she would get some money and cook food for him by working in the big house

Answer 2

ANSWER:

    In the story, “A Horse and Two Gates” by R.K Narayan, Muni owned a flock of forty sheep and goats.

    In the story, she did not ask muni to come back before sunset because if she would be out for a longer period of time, she would have enough time to gather money and bring back home.

   The money could be used to buy food so that she can keep the dinner ready for him in the evening.
