What does this tell us about Sibia?
One Gujar woman, while collecting water, was attacked by a crocodile. Up out of the darkling water heaved the great reptile, water sloshing off him, his livid jaws yawning and all his teeth flashing as he slashed at her leg. The woman screamed and dropped both brass pots that she was carrying with a clatter on the boulder, from whence they bounced to the water, and Sibia saw them bob away in the current. The woman was screaming but the crocodile was pulling her leg. There was blood everywhere. To help her, Sibia crossed all stones and also the big gap in the middle where the river coursed through like a bulge of glass. She was now beside the woman, one slap of the crocodile’s tail could kill her. She aimed at the reptile's eyes. The crocodile reared up in convulsion, till half his lizard body was out of the river, the tail and nose nearly meeting over his stony back. Then he crashed back, exploding the water, and in an uproar of bloody foam he disappeared. Sibia helped the woman to reach her home after bounding her wounds with a rag.
The highlight of that fateful day was the blue bead that Sibia found in water. She had aspired for it throughout her life.
This tells us that despite being a little innocent girl, Sibia was very brave and courageous. She helped the Gujar woman without thinking about her own life. She was such an incredible girl that she did not get happy when she defeated a dangerous crocodile but she got happy when she found the blue bead for her necklace.
