Bholi was unaware of what a place like school was. She was fearful when she was being sent to school. Initially, she compared her situation with that of a cow who was turned out of the house and sold. When Bholi reached school, she was fearful. When she looked around and saw other girls in school, she felt a bit relaxed and thought that she might make some good friends. When the teacher asked her name and she stammered, the other girls laughed at her and she felt ashamed of herself. However, she went home happy as the teacher motivated her to study and attend the school regularly to become learned and confident.
