Ten Thousand Rupees
- A woman comes to greet Lakshmi and Uncle Husband, and she looks like an aging bird: a weak body of a girl and an aged face.
- She goes to get a woman who has a fat mango face. Uncle Husband pushes Lakshmi toward the woman, who asks him how much. After bartering with one another, the woman takes a notebook from inside her dress and writes down ten thousand rupees.
- Once the price is decided, the bird girl takes Lakshmi away from Uncle Husband to a small room upstairs.
- Inside the room, Lakshmi realizes that Auntie Mumtaz is her mistress, and then she thinks of all the things that her family will buy with the money she sends home.
- As she thinks, the bird girl locks Lakshmi in her room.
