The sparrows built the nest in a nice spot on the roof of Ramayya’s house.
The female sparrow did not want the diamond stud. So the male sparrow dropped the diamond stud on the floor and went out.
Kuppayi, the servant’s, maid was suspected of stealing the diamond nose stud.
Ramayya’s wife put the stud away in her box.
Ramayya’s wife fell sick with a fever. She became bedridden. Her rest of the life was spent in fear of being caught by the police.
F) Answer the following in about 100 words.
One day, the male sparrow found a diamond nose-jewel in a heap. He picked it up and came to the nest with the shining stud in his beak and informed his wife about it. The female bird shouted at him and told him that the diamond jewel was not of any use to her. She asked the male sparrow to search for food for their young ones. So the bird dropped the diamond stud on the floor and went out in search of little worms for the young ones.
When Ramayya’s wife noticed the jewel as she was sweeping the floor, She picked it up with delight and wore it. Ramayya questioned her angrily how she got hold of the diamond stud. She replied that she found the jewel lying on the floor and she took it. That was all. Ramayya wanted to deliver the jewel to the village magistrate. If the police searched their house, it would be a disgrace. Police searched the house of Kuppayi, the servant-maid but they could find nothing in her hut. Wife of Ramayya got scared. She soon developed a severe fever and was confined to her bed. Ramayya and his wife spent the rest of their lives in fear of being caught.
