Once, Paheli visited a tailor shop and brought home some cutting of fabric to study their properties. She took two pieces and found that one of the pieces was shrinking when it burnt with a candle. However the other did not shrink on burning. Can you help her to find out which of the two was a cotton fabric and which a silk fabric?

The piece which shrinks on burning with a candle then the fabric is silk and the other fabric is cotton because the cotton fabric does not shrink on burning.
