उत्तर
Yes, of course, we find Jaya a courageous, kind-hearted and a child who has a sense of humour. Thinking that Velu seems to run away from home, she sympathizes with him. She helps him to have some food and see that he earns some money by being a ragpicker. While crossing the road full of traffic, Velu hesitated and did so reluctantly. Jaya dragged him to the other side.
She warned him that if he stood in the middle of the road like that, he would “be chutney.” She also shows a sense of humour when Velu is reluctant to do the work of a ragpicker. She calls him a “big hero” who just stands there “posing”. The way she faces the hardships of life in a smiling way shows her courage and strong will.
