Generally, the V-shaped eyebrow is formed when a person is angry. Thus, this suggests that Rukku Manni was in angry mood when she came to know about the missing chappal of the music teacher.

As seen from the window, the music teacher looked like bony figure. He had a mostly bald head with a fringe of oiled black hair falling around his ears and an old fashioned tuft. He also wore a gold chain that gleamed around his leathery neck along with a diamond ring glittering on his hand gliding up and down the stem of the violin. A large foot stuck out from beneath his gold-bordered veshti edge. He was beating time on the floor with the scrawny big toe.

On getting the gift of new chappals the beggar vanished in a minute because he did not want to lose the gift of those chappals. His feet were blistered and he couldn’t have anything better from that house. It was a blessing in disguise for the beggar.

Every day when Gopu Mama used to come back home, he always used to be in a hurry to throw his shoes and socks away and get into his chappals.
