Mention the way in which the sparrows expressed their sorrow when the author’s grandmother died.

Question

Have you known someone like the author’s grandmother? Do you feel the same sense of loss with regard to someone whom you have loved and lost?

Answer 1

When the author’s grandmother died, the sparrows gathered in large numbers in the courtyard and sat quietly around her body. They did not chirp or make any noise, and they did not touch the crumbs of bread that the author’s mother scattered for them. This unusual, deep silence and refusal to eat seemed to be their way of expressing grief for the grandmother.
