उत्तर
Animals, which are considered not to have the sixth sense are far better than the human beings who have it. In fact, the feeling of empathy is found more in animals than that in humans. In this story, we come to know that the grandmother develops a cordial relationship with the sparrows, whom she feeds daily with bread crumbs.
Those birds are also very affectionate towards her which we can understand by the way they sit on her shoulders, legs, and head. When grandmother died all the sparrows gathered there silently without any chirruping and they did not even touch the bread crumbs offered to them by the author’s mother.
When her corpse was taken away they all flew away silently. This clearly proves the fact that animals are really capable of empathy. The _ dogs which are tamed at home also possess the same feeling of empathy. We have heard of such incidents as where a dog dies just because it can’t tolerate the death of its owner.
