- #4Why is Sibia called as 'child woman' and how was she born to toil?Ans : Sibia, the main character or the protagonist of the story, is called a happy immature child-woman at the age of only twelve years just because of her appearance and the burden which she bore to help in household chores. She was marked for work since her childhood. She had to carry the household duties and in them also she found the objects of happiness. She was immature in the sense that in spite of doing all the work, she had not lost her childishness.
