Question

Answer the following questions:

1. What attracts a jinn?
2. List the activities of an annoyed Munjia.
3. Why must one be careful while yawning under a peepul tree at night?
4. How did the boy in the class show that he was a jinn?

Answer

1. According to Anil’s mother’s folklore, long hair and pretty black eyes like Mulia’s can attract jinns. They may be tempted to carry away someone who possesses these features.
2. An annoyed Munjia, a mischievous ghost, is said to rush out from its lonely peepul tree and upset various modes of transportation. This includes tongas (horse-drawn carriages), bullock carts, cycles (bicycles), and even buses.
3. According to Anil’s mother’s beliefs, if someone yawns without covering their mouth or snapping their fingers in front of a peepul tree at night, the Munjia (mischievous ghost) might jump down their throat. This act supposedly ruins the person’s digestion completely.
4. The boy in the class demonstrated his jinn-like abilities when he effortlessly fetched a book from the cupboard without leaving his seat. He simply stretched out his arm, which extended about four yards, and retrieved the book. This extraordinary display of supernatural power made everyone realize that he was a jinn, explaining his remarkable agility and proficiency in activities that required physical prowess.
