उत्तर
Unlike Ramlal's other children, Bholi was not healthy and strong. She was treated differently from her siblings, not only by the village people but by her parents as well. But her teacher brought a new ray of hope in Bholi's life. She was very encouraging which made her gain confidence to speak. After years of gaining education and with the help of her teacher, Bholi turned into a confident girl. She no longer stammered and could speak properly. She even had the courage to refuse to marry the lame old man because of his greediness. On seeing her father worried about her marriage, she said that he need not worry, as she would teach in the same school where she learnt so much and would take care of him and her mother in their old age. Thus, education and love from her teacher transformed Bholi.
