Why is Bholi's father worried about her?

Answer – Bholi's father was a prosperous farmer. He had three sons and four daughters. All of them were healthy and strong, except Bholi. She was a backward child. She badly stammered when she spoke. She had an attack of smallpox when she was two years old. It left her face disfigured. So, Bholi's father was worried about her, because she had neither good looks nor intelligence.
