Extract from the Story
“He began reciting it to me, but I was so
exhausted
after a tiring day that I yawned—not once, but several times. The king thought I was disrespecting his poem and
stormed off
. Since then, he has not spoken to me. If I had known this would happen I would have chosen another day. Help me, please, Rama. Only you can help the king understand.”
Summary in Bullet Points
- The queen yawns because she is exhausted , not because she wants to insult the king. exhausted = extremely tired
- The king mistakes the yawn for disrespect and storms off . stormed off = left suddenly and angrily
- He stops speaking to her, and the queen regrets that the misunderstanding happened.
- She asks Rama to help the king understand the truth.
