The disgraceful thing that the narrator speaks about is the use of English while speaking in Kannada. Once, the son of Rama Rao bought a bundle of firework from a seller. The seller was an old lady. When the boy asked about the price the seller told it was “four pice”. However, the boy informs him that he did not have the “change”. The poor old lady did not understand his words and went off murmuring something to herself. In fact, not only the seller, but also the narrator could not understand the meaning of the English word “change”.
