उत्तर
It is common for brothers and sisters to quarrel. Many a time they don’t know the point of dispute. But their quarrel does not last long. One day, the narrator quarrelled with her brother for no valid reason. Both stuck firmly to their claim of being right. They began to hate each other. But that very afternoon the brother took the initiative and admitted his mistake. Thus they patched up and forgot their bitterness.
