Outwitted Me and We

We were all exceptionally energized. This occasion was to 

be spent in Dindigul where Grandpa had chosen 

to settle down, in light of the fact that the atmosphere there was 

useful for individuals with frail lungs. His specialist had 

said that the soggy ocean demeanor of Madras would not 

suit Grandpa any more. 

Dindigul is close to a slope station called Kodaikanal, 

from where products of the soil came to 

advertise each day by lorry and truck. In Dindigul 

itself one could get great bananas and grapes, 

and additionally numerous assortments of vegetables and 

drain as well. In this way, inside and out it was a perfect place 

for Grandpa, who had been educated to eat parts with respect to 

vegetables and drink a lot of drain. 

The house was an out-dated one with numerous 

rooms, an expansive garden, a cowshed, and a well. 

Granny, who had lived in a town, had chosen 

to keep a cow, and said she would demonstrate to us how 

to draw water from the well. 

"I will show you how to drain a cow, as well," she 

said and giggled. 

Our neighbors instructed us to be veiy watchful at 

night, to bolt every one of our entryways and windows, on the grounds that
a posse of robbers had been lurking in the shadows for 

some time. The police had not possessed the capacity to get 

them, however they had made a decent attempt. 

The entryways in our home had substantial iron jolts 

furthermore, the windows had bars. In one room, there 

was an iron safe incorporated with the divider, and the family 

gems and cash were kept in this. 

"By what means can any criminal tear open this safe?" 

Grandpa inquired. 

One night, when we were sleeping soundly, the criminals 

came! They were not standard hoodlums. They 

came equipped with blades and clubs. They didn't 

attempt to open the entryways or windows. Rather, they 

made a major opening in the divider and entered the 

house through it. 

In spite of the fact that our neighbors had instructed us to close all 

the entryways and windows prompting each room and 

not to rest in the external rooms, Grandpa had not 

taken after their recommendation. So the criminals were capable 

to go straight into his room. 

The pioneer, an immense dim man, with long dark 

hair, hauled Grandpa out of overnight boardinghouse him 

where the adornments and cash were kept. Grandpa 

declined to reply. One of the men wounded him 

what's more, he tumbled to the ground, dying. 

"Come, I'll demonstrate to you where it is," said Granny 

coolly. 

My dad came in simply at that point and attempted to snatch 

one of the hoodlums. Granny pushed him away
"Stay silent," she said. "It is no utilization. They will 

wound or murder you. Take care of your dad." 

She brought them into the room where the safe 

was and gave them the keys. 

"Take whatever you need, just don't hurt any 

of us," she said. 

The burglars needed the trimmings she was 

wearing and my mom's as well. Both were permitted 

to keep their wedding accessories. 

"Good, now go out!" she was told. 

My grandma was a sharp lady. The thieves 

were so bustling opening the safe and respecting 

the gems, they didn't see that when she went 

out, she shut the entryway, as well as blasted it 

from outside! There was no other method for getting 

out, and the entryway couldn't be torn open effortlessly. 

Inside the room, the men shouted, reviled, and 

hit against the entryway. Granny chuckled and said to 

my dad, "Run and call the police and a specialist, 

fast! Youngsters, you go to the front yard and 

yell. Tell our neighbors we have gotten the 

hoodlums!"
We were crying and shuddering with alarm. 

Granny stated, "They can't hurt you now. Be 

overcome and do as I let you know." 

In those days there were no phones in that 

territory. Father headed to the police headquarters. Our 

neighbors, hearing the confusion, came surging 

to our home Granny and my mom washed and wrapped 

Grandpa's injury, which was a profound cut. It 

was the first occasion when I had seen so much blood and 

I felt wiped out and discombobulated. 

Before long the police came and the specialist as well. The 

criminals were bound and taken away. Everybody 

was glad that this pack, which had so threatened 

the town and encompassing towns, had at 

last been gotten. 

"Simply envision an old lady getting them 

at the point when even the police would!" they be able to continued saying. 

Granny was compensated in real money. She gave the 

cash to the healing facility where Grandpa had been 

conceded. He was there for a month and turned out 

with a major scar, of which he was extremely glad. 

He told individuals that he made them guard us 

against the criminals! Granny kept mum, a fiendish 

smile on her wrinkled face.
