Under the Banyan Tree, by R K Narayan involves a different group of characters, in which these days are rarely seen or spoken about. It happens in India and its about a elderly man who is very wise and considered a leader for the village. Also know as Nambi, the leader starts to forget his story while the crowd is eager to hear it. This makes him very ashamed and now he realizes he is starting to get old, in which ends up by him meditating most of the days until he believes he is ready to finish the story. After two unsuccessful tries he ends the story short and consider himself dumb.
