And your women with red sarees fill their pitchers from the river and carry them on their heads.
Dairyman
Good, that's right. Women from our dairy village do come and draw their water from the river; but then it isn't everyone who has a red saree to put on. But, my dear child, surely you must have been there for a walk some time.
Amal
Really, Dairyman, never been there at all. But the first day doctor lets me go out, you are going to take me to your village.
Dairyman
I will, my child, with pleasure.
