Answer:

My name is Gafhergold. I left my home and the valley of the Great Stone Face fifty years back in pursuit of wealth.

I have been successful and earned a lot of money. I am rich now and going back to the valley. But will the people of the valley welcome me or will they condone me for leaving the home. Will they accept me and allow me to be a part of the valley.

I will try my best. May be they would respect me because of my wealth. Yes/I will tell them how rich I became and surely that would make them respect me and accept me back.

Yes, Jaya is definitely a brave and sensitive child with a sense of humour. She can live alone and guide someone else like Velu.

Some examples are cited below.

COURAGE "What do you think you're doing? Grazing cows? If you stand around in the middle of the road like that, you'll be chutney?" "She walked really fast."

KIND NATURE "Chey! What do you think I am? A dog? I only take untouched food. Here, some more, catch! "She threw him a vada",

HUMOUR "If you're not careful, you'll soon be counting bars there."

"So you've been following me around without even knowing my name. Jaya."

"You think he buys it for show?"

"I don't have time to waste, like, you."
