Is this a true story? Which part of this poem do you feel is the most important?
Solution and Explanation
No, this not a true story; it is a legend. I feel that the point in the story where the old lady is changed into a woodpecker is the most important. This is because the punishment meted out to the lady teaches us the value of generosity and charity.
