The whole story from beginning to the end is netted very beautifully and presented so vividly that it becomes a fairy tale alike. The flow and flair of the language is its another significance all the way it begins with and ends in and leaves behind something unique to think about how one and his family is disappointed and becomes contented with whatever blessed with. The genre of the story is quite inherent, and one must understand what the author wants to say to his readers. The text of the context is so interesting that it not only amuses but teaches also.
