What did the old woman mean by “Is it right to behave so? on a day like this too!”


The old woman saw a crowd collected in the street and all went on quarelling. Everyone was shouting and no one was listening to others. She thought that the situation might take an ugly and disasterous turn. So she tried to make it peaceful. Moreover it was the day of “Easter festival”. As such coming to them she expressed her surprise over their behaviour. She advised them not to create such nuisance and to be peaceful. Thus her statement in this connection, “Is it right to behave so? on a day like this too !” throws light on her painful sentiments over such behaviour, because (i) Such inhuman and undesirable act was wrong and (ii) it was the auspicious day to celebrate “Easter” festival.
