Question

Mention three ways in which the author’s grandmother spent her days after he grew up.

Answer 1

After the author grew up and they moved to the city, the grandmother’s routine changed. Three main ways in which she spent her days were:

• She devoted much of her time to prayer, sitting in a corner of the room, telling the beads of her rosary and reading scriptures.
• She fed the sparrows every afternoon, breaking bread into little bits and happily watching the birds crowd around her.
• She did some light household work and remained quietly occupied at home, no longer accompanying the author to school or taking part in his studies.
