Mention the ways in which the sparrows expressed their sorrow when the author’s grandmother died.

The sparrows expressed their sorrow when the author’s grandmother died in a poignant way. They gathered in the verandah, sitting quietly around her dead body without chirping. Even when the author’s mother threw pieces of bread to them, they refused to eat, a break from their typical behaviour. Their usual lively chatter was replaced by a respectful silence. When the grandmother’s corpse was carried away, they flew away quietly, adding to the solemnity of the moment. The behaviour of the sparrows symbolized their connection to the grieving process and the deep and meaningful relationship they shared with the grandmother.
