Anu came running to her mother
"Amma, can we sell this house and buy one like Vimala"
"It is so nice, her daughters can play wherever they want..."
"There are so many people. When Vimala sits there like a queen cutting vegetables, all her neighbors come and talk to her..."
"All of them talk so much...there is no silence like this house"
"Amma, why can't we have a house like that?", she asked.
Amma ignored her and called out "Vimlaa, take Anu out. Have you finished the work? There is some leftover food, you can take it"
