Could the grandmother succeed in accomplishing her desire to read? How?
The grandmother was resolute to learn to read and write and asked her granddaughter to teach her Kannada alphabet. She wanted to be independent, to be able to read a novel on her own and decided the Saraswati Pooja day during Dassara as the deadline for this. She was a keen student and regular with her homework. Even the little child was astonished to see the doggedness in her grandmother. Finally, on the day of Saraswati Pooja she got the novel Kashi Yatre as a prize from her granddaughter, for accomplishing her mission, and she thanked her little teacher by touching her feet as she was gratified.
