Answer the following questions briefly

The old woman was blind but wise.

This folk lore is prevalent in many culutures.

The father of the old woman is a black American Slave.

The old woman lives alone in a small house outside of town.

Her reputation for wisdom is unquestionable and beyond any doubt.

The honour she is paid and the respect she commands and held reach beyond her neighbourhood, to places far away.

Among her people she holds both the law and its transgression (the person who violates the law).

The old lady only knows the motive of those people. She is blind and cannot see her visitors. –

One day some young people visited the old lady.

The purpose of visit of those people was their inclination to prove wrong whatever they were seeing from their eyes, showing her up for the fraud they believed she was and to disclose her clairvoyance.

There plan was simple. They entered her house and asked the answer of their question for which they had come.

There is a difference between the old lady and those people (visitors). She has deep inability due to her blindness, whereas those people have eyesight and are young.

When woman was silent for long, the young people felt trouble in holding their langhter. They laughed at her.

The old woman replied that she did not know whether the bird he (the young boy) was holding was dead or alive. She further said that she only knew that the bird was in his hands.

The young visitors are reprimanded (scolded severly) for parading their power and her helplessness.

In terms of the Nobel laureate the bird is language dnd the woman is a “practised writer”.
