Answers
Answer:
A little girl, Jaya saw him and talked to him. Jaya was a ragpicker. Initially, he was hesitant to talk to her but she told him that she can arrange food for him. Thus, as he had no option, he agreed to go along with her. She took her through the busy streets and traffic. Velu was a bit scared to see so many vehicles on the road. As they passed by the Central Jail, Jaya warned him to never get caught by the police.
They finally reached to a marriage hall. Jaya found two bananas and vada in the garbage bin. She offered food to Velu but he was hesitant to eat it. Being hungry he had no other choice to eat it. Jaya gave a vada and a banana to Velu and ate a banana herself. After having food, she took him to her house. It was a slum house. It was made from the waste materials such as old tires, plastic sheets, and bricks.
Jaya gave a sack to Velu too and asked him to help her. She explained to him that she picks all the scrap materials from here and there and then sells them to the scrapper. The scrapper sells them to the factories. thus, Velu also became a ragpicker now. However, he decided that as soon as he gets some other job, he will quit this job of a ragpicker.
