Milu was born in a small village in the north of India , and never had the chance of going to school. because her family needed her to work . So she grew up never having learned to read or write She was a little sad about it but she didn't let it upset her too much, and tried to think about other things. She went through life , never being able to do what she wanted , because she felt that if she couldn't read, then she was somehow less than everybody else. This meant that she didn't make many friends and didn't go out much . She thought people would think she was stupid, and she didn't want them to laugh at her. When she was fifty-six , she got a job cleaning a school and when she had finished her work, she used to sit and watch the little kids do their lessons. She didn't realise that one of the teachers watched her while she watched the kids and one day, as she was about to leave, the teacher asked her to sit in the class. The kids thought it was very funny, but the teacher patiently started Milu on her first lesson to learn to read. That was a few years ago, and now Milu can read and write as well as any of the other kids. She still cleans the school because she likes her job, but she doesn't feel less than everybody else anymore. The teacher, who is now her friend, sometimes gives her a book to read and she learns about people living in other parts of the world. She has a granddaughter who studies at the same school, and sometimes she helps her with her homework. Being able to do that makes her feel so happy that when she stays alone she has a little cry.
