The short story of the “Bird Song” was an amazing, funny, and dramatic love story. At the beginning of the story she explains us that she is in a glare of the hot afternoon surrounded by motorcycles and hawkers where a stranger woman was looking…show more content… The fight was about his driver not greeting and ignore her that whole time. Things got carry away and that is when he said that she was a feisty like the other woman he dated before so she responded “What?” He screams at her and told her to leave the house.
