Write down the funny scene that Bama noticed on her way home from school.

Or
Why did Bama feel that the elderly man’s behaviour was funny?
One day Bama was walking home from school. She saw an elder carrying a small packet held by its string. He was holding it out so as not to touch it. There seems to be vadais in the packet because it was stained with oil. It was a funny scene because that way the packet could get undone and the vadais could fall out. She felt bad that people had to bow low and work so hard for their masters. The rich sat and stuffed things into their mouth. This thought deeply infuriated her.
