Solution

Dear Stranger Man,

I, Taffy, the daughter of Tegumai Bopsalai, am writing this letter of apology to express my concern and care for you as a good human being.

First of all, I appreciate your polite behavior toward me and my family. Although you were unable to understand our language, you tried your level best to solve our problem in the best possible way. I made the drawing, expecting you to find my mother near the cave and explain to her my situation.

As a good human being, you followed my order and found my mother in a short span of time. However, I truly feel sad about my mother's behavior towards you. I feel so bad and ashamed for her rude action towards you.

She could have asked · you about the drawing and should have tried to judge and understand the picture in the proper sense. But instead, she directly attacked you and proved her foolishness. I regret my mother's actions.

I sincerely apologize for her actions. I hope that you will surely understand my feelings and forgive us for our impolite behavior.

Yours lovingly,
Taffy.
