Hira made up a bed for Kunda beside her own.

Kunda lay there, but did not sleep.
Kunda desired to remain hidden, and therefore consented to be locked in the room on the following day when Hira went to her work, so that she should not be seen by the grandmother.

At noon, when the grandmother went to bathe, Hira, coming home, permitted Kunda to bathe and eat.

After this meal Kunda was again locked in, and Hira returned to her work till night, when she again made up the beds as before.
Creak, creak, creak--the sound of the chain of the outer door gently shaken.

Hira was astonished.
